About Lake Essence

Casares del Sol - Casares Golf, Casares

Lake Essence is a collection of 14 residential plots within Finca Cortesín in Casares, offering the opportunity to create an individual villa within one of the Costa del Sol's most established private resorts. Rather than purchasing a predefined home, each property can be developed around the characteristics of its particular plot and the requirements of its owner.

The plots range from approximately 1,477 m² to 2,820 m², with permitted buildable areas between approximately 443 m² and 823 m². Their different positions within the resort provide a variety of settings and combinations of views towards the Mediterranean, golf course, lake and surrounding landscape, as well as different levels of elevation and privacy.

The concept allows owners to develop a bespoke villa adapted to the individual site. Construction is subject to Finca Cortesín's architectural and aesthetic regulations, with the project requiring approval from the resort's Aesthetics Committee before applying for the corresponding municipal building licence.

Finca Cortesín extends across approximately 215 hectares in Casares, between Marbella and Sotogrande. The resort includes a championship golf course, spa and wellness facilities, restaurants and a beach club, together with 24-hour security, concierge services and management of its communal areas.

Two purchase structures are available: direct completion within 45 days of reservation, or a standard payment plan with 30% payable at the Private Purchase Contract and the remaining 70% at completion before the Notary. A €100,000 + 21% VAT reservation applies in both cases.

Location

Casares del Sol - Casares Golf, Casares

Casares and Manilva sit at the quiet western edge of the Costa del Sol, where Málaga province meets Cádiz. No high-rises, no crowds, just whitewashed hilltop villages, unspoiled beaches and some of the best-value property left on the coast. They are two separate municipalities - Casares with 9,009 residents (January 2025) and Manilva with 18,818 (2024, spanning 93 nationalities) - that share a coastline, an estate agents' shorthand and a similar laid-back character.

The area stretches from La Duquesa marina in the west to the Finca Cortesín estate inland, with the dramatic pueblo blanco of Casares watching from its mountaintop perch. Casares village grew up around a 12th-century Moorish castle; after the fall of nearby Ronda in 1485 it passed to Rodrigo Ponce de León, Duke of Cádiz. It's also the birthplace of Blas Infante, the figure regarded as the father of Andalusian regional identity. Every spring, once the rains…
