Almazara Gardens, in context.

Almazara Gardens is the fourth phase of a boutique hillside community above Marbella, set on the slopes of La Concha within the Sierra de las Nieves and close to the Sierra Blanca Country Club. It suits buyers who want the coast within easy reach but would rather wake to forest and mountain than to traffic.

The wider estate is arranged as seven small residential clusters set into the mountainside.

The homes occupy three-storey blocks that pair contemporary open-plan interiors with a rustic exterior designed to settle into the landscape. The current release offers three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments of 108 to 110 m². A south-east orientation brings the morning light in early and holds it on the large terraces.

From them the view falls away across Marbella Bay and the broad water of the Istán reservoir. Penthouses add a private solarium above it all.

Of the 19 units tracked in this release, 12 have sold and seven remain. Prices run from €555,000 to €650,000, with completion scheduled for October 2027. Published sources describe the phase as 49 apartments in total, including two-bedroom homes not reflected in current availability. For a buyer weighing calm against convenience this is a rare balance. The window is narrowing.

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. Almazara Gardens currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Construction is under way and completion is set for October 2027, so buyers commit to a defined timeline rather than a concept. Twelve of the 19 three-bedroom units tracked here have sold, leaving seven. Pricing works out at roughly €5,000 to €6,000 per m². That is well above the Istán median of €2,370 per m², a figure drawn largely from resale stock rather than new hillside homes with bay views. A closer comparison is the three-bedroom resales currently listed in Istán at €725,000 to €1,050,000, though their sizes are not disclosed. Local values have also firmed over the past year, from €2,240 to €2,370 per m². Acting now secures one of the remaining units at current pricing.

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

7 of 19 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.

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 €5,139 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 €2,370/m².

Daily life here moves between two landscapes. Beyond the gate, the Sierra de las Nieves offers dozens of hiking trails and six mountain biking routes. Fishing, canoeing, rock climbing and canyoning are there for anyone who wants more than a morning walk. Head down through Nueva Andalucía and the coast arrives quickly.

Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is around 10 minutes away.

International schools, shopping and the beaches of the Golden Mile are quoted at around 10 minutes by car. That makes this a practical address for families as much as for second-home owners. The Manolo Santana Tennis Academy lies within the same short radius. Hospital Recoletas Salud Marbella is about 11 minutes away. Evenings belong to the terrace.

4°C, the climate rarely asks you to move indoors.

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 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.
