Project analysis
ETHERNA HOMES I combines new-build apartments within walking distance of restaurants with a communal pool in Estepona. The project description states 135 homes in total and an enclosed residential development with a gym and communal gardens.
The original development includes one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. All twelve currently available homes have two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The price list distinguishes ground-floor apartments, middle-floor apartments and penthouses; the original housing mix therefore differs from the current availability.
The available ground-floor home VI-5-1-BAJ-A lists a 38.87 m² terrace and a 31 m² garden separately. Penthouse VI-5-2-ATC-C has a 15.83 m² terrace. The property category alone does not tell you how much outdoor space there is or how it connects to the living area.
The source lists a fitted open kitchen, built-in wardrobes, storage and communal parking. Check which storage space and parking rights belong to the selected home. A southerly orientation is described for the project generally; ask to see the orientation of the particular apartment on its current plan.
The older example plan helps explain the room arrangement. The differences between its outdoor measurements and the current price list are explained alongside it. It is therefore not a replacement for the current contractual plan or measurement schedule for the home you purchase.
The rhythm of life at ETHERNA HOMES I
An evening meal out need not always begin with a drive here. Checked routes connect the development with restaurants in Valle Romano, while shared facilities provide space for swimming and exercise. For a longer stay, consider these short trips alongside the larger shopping journey. Where do you park on returning, how do you reach the apartment with bags, and which entrance do visitors use? Walk your likely regular route in person as well. A slope, crossing or entrance gate can matter more to everyday convenience than the distance alone. That practical check helps turn a location description into a realistic routine.
Space inside, room outside
The ground-floor home in the example plan has an open kitchen beside the living and dining area, with bedrooms elsewhere in the layout. Covered terrace areas and a garden sit outside. This gives a concrete starting point for discussing where to eat, relax or tend plants. The plan predates the price list and its outdoor measurements differ, so use it primarily to understand the arrangement. A penthouse solarium calls for a different assessment of access and daily use. Ask about shelter, privacy and maintenance too: none of these qualities follows automatically from a large figure for outdoor floor area.

Prices and purchase context
The payment terms distinguish between residents and non-residents. Establish early which schedule applies to your purchase and when your own funds or borrowing must be available. Request a full cost schedule alongside the asking price, covering taxes, legal assistance and recurring property expenses. The project information does not yet provide a usable figure for community fees, IBI or waste charges. Record which storage space and parking rights are included too. A planned completion period helps with scheduling; the agreement should explain the arrangements for delays, outstanding completion items and handover of the keys before you rely on a moving date.
Living in Estepona
ETHERNA HOMES I is in Estepona. Its surroundings have a different everyday rhythm from the centre: restaurants and a golf setting are nearby, while the old town and coast remain separate destinations. During a viewing, consider an ordinary day involving shopping, exercise and an appointment away from the development. Look at access and parking at different times. The regional routes help plan visits to other places but say nothing about public transport availability. The separate area photograph provides context for Estepona; it does not establish the view from any particular apartment. Assess that view from the actual home where possible.

Who could ETHERNA HOMES I suit?
The development may suit someone seeking an apartment with shared leisure facilities and a few restaurants reachable on foot. For permanent living, assess the trips to shops, healthcare and other regular destinations as well. A second-home buyer can consider management during absences and terrace use across different seasons. Choosing between a ground-floor apartment and a penthouse involves more than counting rooms. If you are considering an investment, investigate permitted uses, letting conditions and recurring expenses. A pool, gym or nearby restaurant does not guarantee rental income. Match the particular home and its ongoing commitments to your own intended pattern of use.

Is there a floor plan for ETHERNA HOMES I?
The April 2024 plan shows home VI-5-1-BAJ-A with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open kitchen adjoining the living and dining area. Its 115.18 m² built area and 79.73 m² usable interior match the current price list. The two covered terrace areas total 37.67 m² on the plan, compared with 38.87 m² in the price list. The garden measures 30.76 m² and 31 m² respectively. Built and usable areas can also differ slightly between plan revisions. Before buying, request the current home plan and measurement schedule. The table and calculations follow the Resales price list dated 6 October 2026. Example floorplan.
What should I check for each home?
The original development includes one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. All twelve currently available homes have two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The price list distinguishes ground-floor apartments, middle-floor apartments and penthouses; the original housing mix therefore differs from the current availability.
What are the payment and completion plans?
Resales lists 30% plus VAT on contract and 70% on key handover for non-residents. For residents, it lists 20% plus VAT on contract and 80% on key handover. Confirm which schedule applies to you, how VAT is treated on the remaining payment and which guarantees cover advance payments. A reservation amount is not sufficiently confirmed to quote here. Completion is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026; this is not a guaranteed handover date. Resales records a building licence, but the licence document has not been checked separately. Planned completion: fourth quarter of 2026.
What comes on top of the purchase price?
For an illustrative budget for a first delivery of a new home in Andalusia, allow 10% VAT (IVA), 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), approximately 1% for notary and registration costs and approximately 1% for legal assistance: 13.2% of the purchase price in this example. The two 1% allowances are estimates, not statutory fees. The applicable taxes, taxable bases, reliefs and actual fees depend on the transaction; obtain individual advice and quotations.
Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?
Yes. Spanish banks do grant mortgages to non-residents, usually at a lower percentage of the purchase price than for residents and with conditions that vary by bank. The result depends on your income, tax residence and the bank's assessment. We can connect you with mortgage advisers who work with non-resident buyers.
What will the community fees cost?
Before reserving, ask about the community fees for the specific property: do they apply, what is the amount per month or per year, and which services are included? Also have it confirmed whether any additional contributions are planned. Request a current written statement or, if the amount is not yet final, a substantiated estimate. Do not rely solely on the project presentation.
Why buy through an agent with an API licence?
Del Sol Prime Homes works under an API licence (Agente de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria). Our project data comes directly from Resales Online, the shared database used by Costa del Sol real-estate agents. You pay the same price with us as directly with the developer. Our fee is paid by the selling side.
How should you read the price per m² at ETHERNA HOMES I?
The median asking price is €3,426 per built m², calculated across twelve available homes. These are asking prices, not completed sale prices or a valuation. Asking prices per built m² range from €2,968 for VI-2-2-BAJ-A to €3,597 for VI-3-1-ATC-A. The first home costs €332,000 with 111.86 m² built area and a 56.54 m² terrace; the second costs €455,000 with 126.5 m² built area and a 29.32 m² terrace. These examples do not by themselves explain the pricing difference.
