About this place
Cumbre Villas presents this exceptional property for sale in Salobreña, called El Peñón Zorrero, on the edge of the sought-after Monte de los Almendros urbanisation. From its privileged hilltop position, it enjoys breathtaking 360° views of the Mediterranean Sea, the Moorish castle of Salobreña, and the stunning Costa Tropical coastline.
The property sits on a spacious urban plot and comes with a fascinating history. In the 1970s, it was redesigned by a Dutch painter in the romantic style of the Alhambra, with arches and Moorish details that give it a distinctive charm. In 2023, the villa was affected by a fire, which has left the walls intact but requires a full renovation or rebuild. The plot allows for landscaped gardens, a swimming pool, and expansion of the built area, subject to municipal approval.
Despite its private setting, the property is just minutes from the beach and local amenities, with Motril and Almuñécar less than 10 minutes away and Málaga and Granada under an hour. This represents a rare investment opportunity, combining iconic views, history, and outstanding potential in the heart of the Costa Tropical.

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
