Constructed in 2022, Villa El Campanario delivers a contemporary five bedroom, four bathroom layout with 450 square meters of interior living space. This property occupies a highly desirable frontline golf position, offering clear and unobstructed sightlines across the green fairways directly down to the Mediterranean Sea. The exterior grounds include a private garden, a heated pool, and a spacious covered terrace designed for outdoor dining. The residence is sold fully furnished, allowing the new owner to take immediate possession without the delays associated with interior design and furniture procurement. Panoramic views from the upper levels highlight the exact topography of the surrounding golf valley, making the sea views a permanent and protected fixture of the primary living spaces.
Inside the residence, the open plan design relies heavily on large floor to ceiling windows to maximize natural light throughout the day. A fully fitted kitchen anchors the main living area, defined by a distinct marble island, premium appliances, and elegant dark cabinetry that provides a sharp visual contrast. The lower level receives abundant natural light and includes a dedicated games room, a versatile entertainment space, and a separate laundry area. A smart home system, underfloor heating, and integrated air conditioning maintain a comfortable climate across all floors regardless of the season. A modern fireplace in the main salon provides a natural focal point for the cooler winter months, while ample storage space ensures the living areas remain uncluttered and highly functional.
The asking price for the property is €1,895,000. Because this is a resale transaction rather than a new development purchase from a promoter, buyers must account for the Andalucia Property Transfer Tax, known locally as ITP, which is levied at a flat rate of 7 percent. On a purchase price of €1,895,000, the ITP equals exactly €132,650. There is no IVA and no AJD applied to this transaction, which represents a significant tax saving compared to buying a brand new off plan villa. Buyers should budget for legal fees of approximately 1 percent plus VAT, which adds roughly €18,950 to the total acquisition cost. Notary and land registry fees combine for roughly 0.5 to 1 percent, totaling about €14,213 depending on the complexity of the title deed. The annual IBI property tax payable to the Estepona town hall is €1,800. A monthly community fee of €48 contributes to the essential upkeep of the urbanization roads, street lighting, and neighborhood security patrols. This low community fee ensures the surrounding public environment matches the high quality of the private amenities, such as the heated pool, the secure garage, and the private garden.
Villa El Campanario falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Estepona ayuntamiento. Over the past decade, Estepona has directed significant capital into municipal infrastructure, earning a strong reputation for efficient civic management and extensive urban beautification projects. The town hall has invested heavily in the Senda Litoral, a paved coastal pathway that will eventually connect the entire municipal coastline for pedestrians and cyclists. Furthermore, the recently opened Hospital de Alta Resolucion de Estepona provides advanced medical care and emergency services just twenty minutes west of the property. Buying within the Estepona municipality provides a distinct advantage in terms of property taxes, building license processing times, and overall municipal efficiency when compared to neighboring districts, making it a highly rational choice for long term property investors looking for stability and growth.
The El Campanario neighborhood is characterized by its low density residential zoning and wide, tree lined avenues. The property sits immediately adjacent to the El Campanario Golf and Country Club, a nine hole pitch and putt course designed by the legendary Spanish golfer Manuel Piñero. This facility serves as the primary social anchor for the immediate area, providing members with a fully equipped gymnasium, a high quality restaurant, an indoor pool, and courts for both tennis and padel. The immediate area is heavily focused on golf, with Atalaya Golf and Country Club located just a three minute drive away. Atalaya features two eighteen hole courses, the Old Course and the New Course, originally laid out by German architect Bernard von Limburger. Two minutes further west lies El Paraiso Golf Club, a championship course designed by Gary Player in 1973. This dense concentration of fairways guarantees that golf views remain a protected asset for properties in this specific sector.
Reaching the coast from the villa takes exactly five minutes by car via the A7 coastal highway. The nearest beaches include Playa de Casasola and Playa del Saladillo, both known for their wide stretches of sand, clear waters, and lack of severe overcrowding during the peak summer months. Playa del Saladillo extends for over three kilometers, providing ample space for water sports, kite surfing, and morning swims. The nearby Laguna Village, currently undergoing a major luxury redevelopment, and the established El Ancla restaurant in Guadalmina Baja provide premium dining options right on the edge of the Mediterranean shore. Drive ten minutes east, and you reach the famous marina of Puerto Banus, offering high end retail boutiques, luxury yachting facilities, and a wide array of international gastronomy.
At the asking price of €1,895,000, this is a resale property subject to a 7 percent ITP transfer tax in Andalucia, which equals €132,650. There is no IVA and no AJD applied to this transaction. You should also budget approximately €18,950 for legal fees, plus around €14,213 to cover combined notary and land registry costs.
The process begins with a reservation agreement and a deposit of €6,000 to €10,000 to remove Villa El Campanario from the market. Your lawyer then conducts due diligence at the Estepona Ayuntamiento to confirm there are no urbanistic infractions. Within 14–21 days, you sign a private purchase contract and pay 10 percent of the €1,895,000 purchase price, minus the initial deposit. Final completion takes place before a notary in Estepona or Marbella usually 30–60 days later.
The community fee is €48 per month for this property. Because Villa El Campanario is an independent property with its own private garden, garage, and heated pool, this low fee primarily covers the upkeep and lighting of the public access roads within the El Campanario estate. You are responsible for the direct maintenance costs of your own private amenities, including the smart home systems and underfloor heating.
The local property tax, known as IBI, is payable annually to the Estepona Ayuntamiento and costs €1,800 a year. You must also account for the €48 monthly community fee, plus private maintenance for your heated pool and garden. Electricity and water bills will vary based on your usage of the air conditioning and underfloor heating, typically averaging €300 to €500 per month for a property of this size.
Yes, but you must apply for a tourist licence through the Estepona Ayuntamiento before marketing the property. The current regulations in Andalucia require the villa to meet specific standards, such as having installed air conditioning in all living areas, which this property already has. Properties on the frontline of the golf course command premium rates during the peak golfing seasons in spring and autumn.
At the €1,895,000 asking price, the property includes a fully fitted kitchen, a traditional fireplace, integrated smart home technology, and comprehensive climate control featuring both air conditioning and underfloor heating. The exterior spaces feature a covered terrace, a private garden, and a heated pool. The property also includes a private garage and dedicated storage areas. These existing features save you the time and expense of retrofitting a resale property.
Yes, there are several established educational options within a short drive. Atalaya International School, which offers both the Spanish Bachillerato and the IB program, is located just 3 kilometers away. The International School of Estepona in Benavista is also easily accessible, taking roughly 10 minutes by car along the A-7 highway.
Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is the primary hub and is located 65 kilometers away. Driving there takes approximately 50 minutes using the AP-7 toll motorway. Alternatively, Gibraltar International Airport is 55 kilometers to the west, which usually takes about 55 minutes by car depending on border traffic.
Villa El Campanario occupies a frontline golf position directly on El Campanario Golf and Country House, a 9-hole pitch and putt course designed by Manuel Pinero. For an 18-hole championship experience, El Paraiso Golf Club and Atalaya Golf and Country Club are both located within a 3-kilometer radius. You can drive to the clubhouse at Atalaya in under 5 minutes.
The nearest coastline is Playa de Guadalmina, located just 2.5 kilometers south of the villa. You can reach the sand in about 6 minutes by car by crossing over the A-7 coastal road. This stretch of the Estepona coastline connects directly to the popular Salduna Beach club and restaurant.
El Campanario is a quiet, established residential area situated in the eastern part of the Estepona municipality. It is centered around its Balinese-style clubhouse, which offers a restaurant, indoor pool, and gymnasium. The area is highly residential and avoids the heavy tourist crowds of summer, making it practical for permanent residents who want quick access to the N-340 road.
Because of its frontline golf position, the villa provides unobstructed golf views directly over the fairways of El Campanario. From the upper levels and the main terrace, you also get panoramic views that extend down to the Mediterranean. These sea views are particularly prominent from the covered terrace during clear days.
