South Sand, in context.

South Sand is a 74-apartment residential complex by the partnership behind the project on Calle Hungría 3, Estepona — positioned within a three-minute drive of the town centre and approximately 100 metres from the beach and marina. The development comprises four blocks offering two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, including duplex ground-floor configurations, ranging from 109 m² to 181 m² of built area, each with a parking space and storage room included in the price.

South-facing and south-east-facing orientations across all four blocks secure consistent natural light and sea, mountain and town views from the majority of residences. Amenities extend beyond the standard: an outdoor adult and children's pool, a heated indoor pool, a fully equipped gym, a gastrobar, a coworking area, putting green and a multipurpose social room. Kitchens are fitted with Siemens or Bosch appliances as standard.

With construction under way and completion scheduled for Q2 2026, the project is at an advanced stage — though only six of 74 units remain available.

The off-plan discount curve

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. South Sand currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Construction is already under way, which removes early-stage uncertainty and places delivery firmly in sight for Q2 2026. At the time of writing, only six of 74 units remain — the 23 sales already recorded provide meaningful market validation at this price point. Entry from €562,000, with the area's resale median sitting considerably below new-build values, suggests a meaningful quality and specification premium relative to what the secondary market currently offers in Estepona at comparable sizes.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Under construction 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

5 of 29 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.

South Sand 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 €5,248 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 €3,364/m².

Gaucin

South Sand sits in the western quarter of Estepona, a town that has invested heavily in its historic centre and seafront boulevard over the past decade. The marina, beach and town-centre amenities are reachable within minutes on foot or by car. Estepona's coastline offers calm, beaches while the surrounding hills provide easy access to golf courses that punctuate this stretch of the Costa del Sol.

The A-7 coastal road and AP-7 motorway give direct connections westward to Gibraltar International Airport and eastward to Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport — both within a manageable drive. The combination of a walkable local centre, beach proximity and motorway access makes this a credible base for both primary residence and extended-stay use.

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 South Sand a good investment compared to the local resale market?

South Sand 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 South Sand?

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 South Sand 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 South Sand from Málaga airport?

Approximately 71 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 Under construction stage, South Sand 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.
