About this place
This substantial detached property, encompassing approximately 355 m², is situated on the edge of Yegen, a traditional whitewashed village in the Alpujarra de la Sierra. Nestled within around 2,500 m² of land overlooking the village, the house provides both privacy and generous space, alongside excellent potential for transformation.
The ground floor currently consists of a large open-plan area used as a garage, offering clear potential for conversion into a spacious independent apartment, ideal for guest accommodation or rental income. Internal access via a staircase leads to the main living level above, where the principal entrance opens into a hallway with a small storeroom. A wide staircase ascends to an open landing, from which the accommodation is organised. To the right, there's a cosy sitting room featuring an open fireplace and a Juliet balcony, alongside a formal dining room that opens onto a sunny covered terrace.
The first-floor layout includes five double-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom with a large shower cubicle, and a fitted kitchen with an additional room that has external access, which could serve as a utility space. The arrangement of the property allows for flexibility, catering to family living or potential business ventures.
The surrounding grounds are well-maintained and terraced, with a separate plot planted with olive trees. Within close proximity to the property, there is a two-storey agricultural building and an open water deposit in need of repair, which could be transformed into a plunge pool. Yegen offers a peaceful atmosphere with café-bars, small shops, and essential services, while nearby towns like Cádiar and Ugíjar provide supermarkets, banks, and medical facilities, just 20 minutes away.

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
