About this place
This charming country house is set on a generous 4-hectare estate in Faraján, located in the picturesque Genal Valley, Serranía de Ronda, Málaga, Andalusia. The property boasts approximately 7,000 kg of annual chestnut yield, establishing it as an ideal place for agricultural enthusiasts or those seeking a rural retreat.
The 160 m² house is arranged over two floors, each roughly 80 m². While the structural integrity of the walls and roof is sound, the interior awaits completion, with the ground floor currently an unfinished shell and the upper floor in basic condition.
Set in a tranquil elevated area surrounded by lush vegetation, the property benefits from its own well water supply. Accessibility is facilitated by an 8 km track from Júzcar or roughly 9 km from the Estepona-Jubrique road, making it a peaceful getaway about an hour and fifteen minutes from the coastal attractions.

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
