About this place
For sale is a farm in Faraján, featuring a ruin and a tool shed, situated directly by the river in the beautiful Genal Valley of Serranía de Ronda, Málaga. The farm spans approximately one hectare, with a flat lower area abundant in poplars, transitioning into a mountainous area covered with cork oaks at a higher elevation.
The property includes two structures: a one-storey tool shed of about 80 m² that requires extensive renovation, and a ruin, part of which is shared with a neighbouring property. The tool shed's roof has partially collapsed, the windows are outdated, and there is no air conditioning inside.
The land faces south and enjoys plenty of sunlight in an open part of the valley. Access to the property is via an unpaved track approximately one kilometre long, where a 4x4 vehicle is necessary to navigate, especially since a section involves crossing the river to reach the farm.

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
