The neighbourhood
Birdie Hills is set in the heart of the Estepona Golf course, among fairways and Mediterranean vegetation, away from the bustle of the seafront while still connected to Estepona, its old town and its beaches. With dozens of renowned golf courses, the Costa del Sol is a first-choice destination for golfers.
Buggy parking, a gym, a rooftop pool with solarium and a second, garden-level pool complete the setting, and the social club's coworking space lets you combine remote work and a round of golf.
Rental potential
Birdie Hills targets a clear audience: golfers, who travel mostly in spring, fall and winter, when the climate stays mild. Add nature lovers and remote workers on longer stays, an off-season demand that complements summer.
In Andalusia, holiday rentals must be registered with the regional tourism registry, and condo rules can restrict them, so Horizon31 checks both. Returns vary: we prepare a personalized projection during the call, which is indicative and not a promise of return.
Taxes and buying costs in Spain
Every foreign buyer needs an NIE, their tax identification number in Spain. A new apartment bought from the developer at Birdie Hills involves VAT (IVA) at 10% and the regional stamp duty (AJD), plus notary and land-registry fees. The transfer tax (ITP) only applies to resales.
As a non-resident owner, you pay the municipal property tax (IBI) and the annual non-resident income tax (IRNR), rental income included. An independent Spanish tax advisor or lawyer remains essential: Horizon31 puts you in touch with its network of notaries, lawyers and tax specialists.

Birdie Hills: frequently asked questions
Do I need to play golf to enjoy Birdie Hills?
No. The course mainly provides a green, quiet and open setting. Non-golfers enjoy the two pools, the solarium, the gym and the coworking space, as well as Estepona's beaches and old town. It is also a selling point with renters.
Can I rent my apartment to visiting golfers?
Yes, provided the home is registered with Andalusia's tourism registry and the condo rules allow it. Horizon31 checks both points for Birdie Hills before you commit, so your rental plans start on a clear footing.
What costs should I plan for besides the price?
At purchase: VAT (IVA) at 10%, the regional stamp duty (AJD), notary and land-registry fees. Afterwards: property tax (IBI), non-resident income tax and condo fees, which cover upkeep of the pools and common areas.
Can I finance the purchase with a Spanish bank?
Spanish banks grant mortgages to non-residents, subject to approval. Each institution applies its own criteria based on your profile. Horizon31 can refer you to qualified contacts to assess this option before you reserve your unit.
