About this property

Overview

The List Rio Real - KEY READY is a new development of 4 to 6-bedroom townhouses for sale in Marbella, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,399,000 to €4,950,000. This gated community of 27 semi-detached homes is built across multiple levels to maximise Mediterranean sea views from upper floors and rooftop solariums. The development includes one fully furnished, key-ready six-bedroom villa designed by Pedro Peña, offering immediate occupation for buyers who want a completed residence rather than a construction wait.

Built sizes range from 280 to 401 m² across basement, ground, first floor and solarium levels. Each townhouse includes five bathrooms, a private swimming pool on the upper floor, and a sundeck. The community provides a shared outdoor pool surrounded by gardens, plus a gym, sauna, Turkish bath, massage room, and pedestrian pathways. Underground garages serve each property. The six-bedroom show villa features a private lift, double-height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a lower ground floor configured as a wellness and entertainment space with bar, media area and gym. The rooftop solarium includes an outdoor kitchen, bar facilities, and multiple lounge areas designed for year-round outdoor living. Interior specification across the development includes large windows and open-plan layouts that connect indoor rooms to private gardens and terraces.

Rio Real sits on Marbella's eastern edge, approximately 6 kilometres from the old town centre and 4 kilometres from Puerto Banús marina, accessible via the A-7 coastal motorway. The area attracts established international buyers and Spanish families seeking residential calm with golf course proximity. Rio Real Golf Club borders the development. This is not a beachfront location, but sea views are available from upper levels due to the elevated multi-storey design. The neighbourhood offers lower density than Marbella's Golden Mile or Nueva Andalucía, with larger plot sizes and more green space between properties. Buyers here typically prioritise privacy and golf access over walking distance to restaurants or nightlife.

The development is completed, with the six-bedroom villa available for immediate key handover. Standard Spanish new build payment structures apply to any remaining units: reservation deposit secures the property, stage payments follow construction milestones if applicable, and the final balance transfers on completion. Buyers should instruct independent Spanish legal representation to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and conduct due diligence on the developer and community statutes. The key-ready villa is sold fully furnished with interior design included in the purchase price, which simplifies the handover process but requires careful contract review to confirm exactly which furnishings and finishes transfer with the sale.

The List Rio Real - KEY READY: Frequently Asked Questions

All units come with a private garage, private garden, and access to either a private or communal pool. The properties are sold key-ready, meaning they arrive fully finished and ready to move into immediately upon completion.

The List Rio Real - KEY READY is situated in Marbella on the Costa del Sol, with a beach-side location that gives residents direct access to the coast. The development benefits from the area's established infrastructure, restaurants, and amenities while maintaining a residential feel away from the busiest tourist zones.

The List Rio Real - KEY READY offers townhouses ranging from 4 to 6 bedrooms with built sizes between 280 and 401 square metres.

Yes, The List Rio Real - KEY READY features sea views across the development, with all properties benefiting from a south-facing orientation that maximizes natural light and views toward the Mediterranean. The beach-side setting means many units enjoy direct or partial sea vistas from their private gardens and terraces.

The List Rio Real - KEY READY is expected to be completed on 5 December 2024, with properties delivered key-ready and fully finished. This means buyers can take possession and move in immediately without any additional construction or finishing work required.

Buying off-plan in Marbella means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
