About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom villa with sea views in Río Real, Costa del Sol. This south-west-facing property sits within The List, a gated community where contemporary Mediterranean architecture meets interior design by Pedro Peña. Double-height ceilings frame floor-to-ceiling glass that pulls natural light deep into the 600sqm interior, whilst terraces extend the living space outward towards both the Mediterranean and the mountains beyond.
The main floor opens onto a double-height lounge that connects directly to landscaped gardens and a private swimming pool. Across four levels, the layout separates six bedrooms and six bathrooms with dedicated spaces for entertaining and day-to-day living. Natural materials and designer finishes run throughout, and the property comes fully furnished to Pedro Peña's specification. One parking space is included, and the south-west orientation holds afternoon sun across the outdoor areas.
The List occupies a hillside position in Río Real, 4 kilometres east of Marbella's Golden Mile. Río Real Golf Club borders the community's western edge, and the beach at Río Real Playa sits 1.2 kilometres downhill. Completion is scheduled for 2026.

9 questions answered
Buying this villa in Río Real
Can foreigners buy property in Río Real?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Río Real. 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 Río Real?
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.
