About this place
This double-fronted, three-storey townhouse in the heart of Casarabonela offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era. The current owners have already begun renovations, leaving the perfect opportunity for new owners to complete the transformation and make it their own.
The impressive façade of this historic home immediately draws you in. Large Andalusian wooden double doors open into a grand entrance hall with high vaulted ceilings. A second set of wooden doors with decorative ironwork leads you into the main hallway, where an elegant turning staircase ascends to the upper floors. To the right, a formal lounge features a magnificent original fireplace with ornate plaster mouldings, which leads to a second reception room that opens onto the inner courtyard. From there, a third adjoining room also enjoys courtyard access—creating a versatile flow ideal for entertaining or accommodating guests.
On the left side of the hallway are two additional rooms, perfect for conversion into a study, library, or further living spaces. The staircase itself is a beautiful feature, adorned with traditional tiling and a simple yet stylish balustrade. The first floor offers several bedrooms, some with access to an elevated terrace, evoking a truly romantic, old-world charm. On the top floor, a large attic space provides a blank canvas—ideal for creating a studio, additional bedroom, or private retreat.
The property has a wine cellar with separate access and has been used for film festivals in the past. Legend says that notable figures such as Napolians Brother and Cervantes once stayed here. The internal courtyard is enchanting, featuring beautiful ceramic tiling and arched, shaded seating areas—a serene space to relax and unwind.

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
