About this place
Nestled at the mouth of El Canuto nature reserve in Casares, this special 105 m² bungalow is ideal for anyone dreaming of living sustainably on the Costa del Sol. Enjoy the stunning scenery and local fauna while having easy access to hiking, climbing, and bird watching.
The property features two bedrooms and a fireplace, providing a cosy living space. The land is flat and expansive, offering numerous opportunities for cultivation, including fruit trees and ample space for horses. With water sourced directly from the land and solar panels for electricity, the property is set up for an eco-friendly lifestyle although some enhancements may be needed for year-round living.
Currently, the property is not fully papered, meaning it cannot be mortgaged; however, it has been standing for over 15 years, and the paperwork can be managed to secure future value.

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
