There are three criteria that are important in selling a Villa or property in Spain.

I. That the owner has a real reason for selling the property.

2. That in order to achieve a sale the owner prices the property at a realistic price, (Too often owners ask inflated prices and comment that they don’t really have to sell, so can wait indefinitely for a buyer to appear)

3. Location. The location of a Villa is as important as its design. A beautiful Villa without a view, is not worth the same as one overlooking the sea, mountains, or possibly near a golf course. It is also necessary to be close to a town with supermarkets, chemists and post office.

I have had to sell my Villa for business reasons, so have had it valued at a realistic price.

As you will see from the following pictures and details, the Villa also fits into the third criteria.

Bahia de Casares is off the A7 coast road between Estepona (4 miles to the east) and Sabinillas (1 ½ miles to the west), at the turning to the hill town of Casares. The A7 road runs along the coast from Malaga to Algeciras. There is a toll road (AP7) three miles into the hills which will get you to Malaga airport in 45 minutes or Gibraltar airport in 30 minutes.

Between Malaga and Sabinillas there are several towns along the coast, Marbella and Puerto Banus being the best known, with the local town of Estepona, famous for its beautiful promenade and local fishing fleet, coming a close second.

The sea is five minutes walk away and the beach bar (pictured) is open for nine months of the year. Africa is only twelve miles away from Spain at its nearest point, 35 minutes by fast ferry from Tarifa to Tangier.

Further round the bay from the beach bar is the local town of Sabinillas which has supermarkets, chemists, a Post office and numerous local shops and restaurants. If you are energetic you can walk along the beach to the town in twenty minutes.

There are three golf courses within 3 miles, the nearest being about ½ a mile from the entrance to the Urbanisation.

The fountain is at the entrance to the urbanisation.

It is very important that the urbanisation is well kept. This photograph shows that the gardeners have done their job and that the palm trees are properly maintained. The road is also in excellent repair.

The Villa is at the top of the urbanisation overlooking the sea.
