Imagine, in context.

Imagine is a boutique run of villas in Bel Air, Cancelada, on Estepona's New Golden Mile — the coastal strip between Estepona and Marbella that has become one of the coast's steadiest markets for second homes. The Zoddak data lists six villas here, four still available and two sold; wider marketing for the collection references a total of fifteen residences, so buyers should confirm the exact release with us.

Each home offers four en-suite bedrooms across 581 m² of build on flat plots of 985 to 1,172 m², priced from €2.4m to €2.73m. The architecture is defined by double-height living areas of nearly six metres and a south-west orientation that carries light through the day. The project holds its building licence, with completion quoted at eighteen months from purchase.

The off-plan discount, stage by stage

Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. Imagine currently sits in the With licence band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Unlike much off-plan stock, Imagine already holds its building licence, which removes a common source of delay, with delivery quoted at roughly eighteen months from reserve. At €2.4m–€2.73m these villas sit above Cancelada's median resale rate of €3,772/m², reflecting new-build finish — SANTOS kitchens, Miele appliances, rooftop solariums with pools — on scarce flat plots. With two of six already sold, early buyers still have choice of plot and time to personalise the 155 m² basement.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the With licence phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.

Scarcity and specification

4 of 6 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.

Risk-managed entry

Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.

Market reality

The premium, contextualised

Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.

Imagine is not priced against average Estepona resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €4,131 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €3,299/m².

Bel Air is a settled, low-key residential pocket rather than a resort enclave. A Lidl and Mercadona sit within 300 metres, with a pharmacy and restaurants such as Rincón del Marqués and Jaipur Purple a minute's drive away. Playa del Saladillo is roughly 800 metres from the plots, and El Paraíso and Tramores golf clubs are three minutes out.

Padel and tennis at Racket Club Villa Padierna are within a kilometre. Puerto Banús marina is around seventeen minutes by car, Hospiten de Estepona eight. Málaga airport is about an hour's drive.

Residency planning for non-EU buyers

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.

Common questions

Buying off-plan in Spain, answered

Straight answers to the questions our specialists field most. For anything else, the assistant above answers in real time.

Is Imagine a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Imagine is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Estepona on price-per-m², the premium reflects new-build standards, plot quality and amenity package not typically available in the resale market. Our market analysts model the projected key-ready value on request.

What is the off-plan payment schedule in Spain?

Spanish off-plan purchases are typically staged: 10% on reservation (refundable holding deposit), a further 20% on signing the private purchase contract, and the remaining 70% on completion. Every euro paid before completion is held under bank guarantee — if the developer defaults, your money is refunded under Spanish law.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage to buy at Imagine?

Yes. Spanish banks routinely lend 60–70% loan-to-value to non-residents on properties at this value, over terms of 20–25 years at competitive rates. Roccabox introduces vetted non-resident mortgage brokers at no cost.

Does buying at Imagine qualify for Spanish residency?

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025. However, other residency routes remain available depending on circumstances — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, work or family-based permits. Roccabox introduces regulated Spanish immigration counsel.

How far is Imagine from Málaga airport?

Approximately 59 minutes' drive, with a direct route via the A-7 / AP-7 motorway.

What is included in the purchase price?

Price includes the unit as specified by the developer. Spanish purchase costs (VAT/IVA on new builds at 10%, AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, notary and registry around 1%, legal counsel typically 1%) sit on top of the headline price. The Roccabox team produces a personalised total-cost breakdown on request.

Can I personalise the property?

At the With licence stage, Imagine buyers can typically influence layout details, basement configuration, finishes and specification ahead of handover. The window narrows as the build progresses. Our specialist will walk you through what's still negotiable on each remaining unit.
