About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with sea views in The Golden Mile, Costa del Sol. This contemporary property sits just 100 metres from the beach, placing the Mediterranean shoreline within a two-minute walk. Built in 2021 across 765 square metres, the villa combines west-facing orientation with 351 square metres of terrace space that captures afternoon light and coastal views.
The interior unfolds across open-plan living and dining areas that connect directly to outdoor terraces, while five bedrooms and six bathrooms occupy generously proportioned rooms throughout the property. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light into each level, and the villa comes fully furnished with pieces selected to complement the contemporary architecture. A private pool occupies the 435-square-metre plot, with covered and uncovered terrace zones providing space for outdoor dining and lounging. One parking space is included, and the property's excellent condition reflects its recent construction with modern finishes and integrated systems.
Río Verde is a gated community on the Golden Mile, positioned between Marbella's centre and Puerto Banús. The beach access lies 100 metres from the villa's entrance, whilst Puerto Banús marina sits 1.5 kilometres west along the coastal road. Marbella Club Hotel stands 800 metres to the east, and the Golden Mile's collection of restaurants and beach clubs occupy the beachfront strip within a five-minute walk.

9 questions answered
Buying this villa in The Golden Mile
Can foreigners buy property in The Golden Mile?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in The Golden Mile. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in The Golden Mile?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
