Almazara Gardens, in context.
Almazara Gardens stands roughly 300 metres above sea level on the flank of the Sierra de las Nieves, a short climb inland from Marbella and directly beneath La Concha.
It is the fourth release within Almazara Boutique Residences, a phased estate of independent communities and it speaks to buyers who want forest air and mountain quiet without surrendering dinner in Puerto Banús.
The buildings step down the hillside in terraces, so each home looks out across the Istán reservoir and, on clear days, towards Marbella Bay and the sea beyond.
Stone-clad facades and clean geometric lines answer the Andalusian vernacular; double-height glazing and a thermally efficient envelope keep interiors steady through August heat and cool January mornings.
The commercial picture is unusually legible. The developer team has committed €21m to this phase within a €59m estate, 72 homes have already sold across the wider community and buyers arrive from 25 nationalities. Of the release we track, nine of 19 apartments are reserved and ten remain. Note that phase counts vary between published sources, so unit availability is worth confirming before reserving.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions
Roccabox analyst view
Construction has started and completion is set for October 2027, which removes planning risk while leaving room to stage payments over roughly two years. Nine of the 19 homes in this release are already reserved and the earlier Almazara Hills phase sold out entirely, so choice of orientation and level narrows quickly. On price, be clear-eyed: at €475,000 to €650,000 for 98 m² to 110 m², these apartments ask around €4,300 to €4,800 per m² against an Istán median of €2,343. That premium buys new-build specification, resort amenities and reservoir views rather than village resale stock, where homes currently average 151 days on the market.
Reserving early
Why buyers reserve at this stage
01
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.
02
Scarcity and specification
10 of 19 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.
03
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.
Almazara Gardens is not priced against average Istán 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 €4,847 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 €2,343/m².

Istán
Living in Istán
Life here runs on two speeds. The mountain side of it is genuine: dozens of marked hiking trails through the Sierra de las Nieves Biosphere Reserve, six mountain biking routes, fishing and canoeing on the reservoir below, with rock climbing and canyoning for those who want the harder version of a Sunday. The village of Istán is a few minutes down the road for bread, coffee and the slow rhythm of an Andalusian working town rather than a resort strip.
The coastal side is closer than the setting suggests. Marbella lies 15 kilometres away, around twenty minutes of descending road, which puts the beaches at Nagüeles and Casablanca, the tennis and padel courts at Puente Romano and the clinics of Nueva Andalucía and Marbella within easy reach.
Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is a short run down the valley, with La Quinta about fifteen minutes away and driving ranges nearer still.
The climate cooperates. Average highs of 19.5°C and lows of 13.4°C across the year make terrace living a habit rather than a summer indulgence and the altitude takes the edge off high summer.

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 Almazara Gardens a good investment compared to the local resale market?
Almazara Gardens is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Istán 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 Almazara Gardens?
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 Almazara Gardens 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 Almazara Gardens from Málaga airport?
Approximately 46 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, Almazara Gardens 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.
