This key-ready townhouse stands in the Río Real area east of Marbella centre, roughly 6 kilometres from the heart of the city as the crow flies. Completed in 2024, the property offers four en-suite bedrooms across 210 m² of living space, a private garden with pool, sea views and a basement garage. The asking price is fixed at €1,950,000. The surrounding urbanisation sits between the coastal road and golf-oriented countryside, with Marbella's beaches, marinas and international schools within a short driving radius.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Río Real is a residential urbanisation on the eastern side of Marbella, set back from the coast at about 178 metres above sea level. Marbella centre lies roughly 6 kilometres away in a straight line, while Málaga city and its airport are 42 and 34 kilometres distant respectively. The area combines proximity to golf courses with access to the coastal road towards Marbella and Estepona.
The house is arranged for year-round occupation: four en-suite bedrooms, a principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and private terrace, an open-plan living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fitted kitchen, utility room and a gym. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, and double glazing supports comfort in all seasons. Outdoor space includes a covered terrace, solarium and a shaded dining area by the pool.
Construction was completed in 2024 and the property is delivered key-ready and fully furnished. The finishes were carried out by JAFlores. Because this is a finished, existing residence rather than an off-plan purchase, there is no construction-phase waiting time or delivery uncertainty; the completion date serves purely as a factual reference for the age of the build.
The house does not stand directly on the beachfront; the nearest recorded restaurant within 2 kilometres is a single venue, and other amenities require a short drive. Public transport exists in the wider area with nine lines and fifty stops, but a car remains the practical means of daily transport. There is no large private plot: the garden is compact, and outdoor space is concentrated on terraces, solarium and pool zone.
This residence fits a buyer profile seeking a move-in-ready home near Marbella without undertaking renovation or off-plan waiting periods. Recognisable situations include a family relocating to the Costa del Sol who want four en-suite bedrooms and access to international schooling, the English International College and the British International School lie approximately 6.5 and 7.1 kilometres away respectively, or a couple purchasing a second residence that must function immediately upon arrival, furnished and technically complete. The presence of a lift, gym and en-suite layout also makes the house workable for owners planning longer stays into later life, since bedroom-level bathrooms reduce dependency on ground-floor accommodation. Buyers prioritising walking access to a full town centre will find the car-dependent pattern of this urbanisation less suitable: daily groceries and most services require a drive. Equally, purchasers comparing this property against coastal apartments at lower price points should note that the offer here is a finished townhouse with private pool, sea views and garden in an established residential setting, which is a distinct category from high-density new-build stock. The house also suits those who value quiet surroundings, given the low-rise, green character between the golf courses and the coast road, while still being roughly 6 kilometres from Marbella's centre and its marinas.
The interior finishing was carried out by JAFlores and the property is delivered fully furnished, which removes the usual gap between handover and habitability. The specification includes floor-to-ceiling glazing in the living area, fitted wardrobes throughout, en-suite bathrooms for all four bedrooms and a spa-style bathroom in the principal suite. Double glazing contributes to thermal and acoustic comfort, while the climate system provides both hot and cold air conditioning, allowing year-round temperature regulation. The principal suite combines a walk-in wardrobe with a private terrace, and the photographs show a consistent contemporary style across the living room, kitchen-dining area and a dedicated home office with a window view. Outdoor finishes include a covered terrace, a solarium and a shaded dining area adjoining the private pool, with the garden landscaped. A lift serves the levels of the house, and a utility room supports practical household management. Parking is housed in a private basement garage, which shields the vehicle from sun and includes storage potential within the basement zone. The build dates from 2024, meaning that construction standards, glazing and installations are current rather than retrofitted. As with any completed purchase, the actual condition of individual finishes can be verified during a viewing, but the documented specification, from the en-suite layout to the double glazing and dual-mode air conditioning, describes a residence delivered to a high standard of technical completeness.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,950,000. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build project with a price list, so no "from" pricing applies. For context within the wider province, the housing market records around 4,399 transactions per year, and the provincial median income of €16,450 illustrates the gap between the general market and this segment of Marbella real estate. The price reflects a finished, furnished residence of 210 m² with four en-suite bedrooms, private pool and basement garage in one of the established urbanisations east of Marbella centre. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start at considerably lower price points, but those are typically apartments in locations such as Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona, which differ in setting and specification.
Daily life in this residence revolves around the combination of indoor and outdoor space. The open-plan ground floor connects the living and dining area with the garden through expansive glazing, which makes the pool, shaded dining area and landscaped planting part of the everyday living zone rather than a separate weekend feature. Mornings can begin on the private terrace of the principal suite, which also carries sea views, while the solarium offers an elevated spot for afternoon sun. The four en-suite bedrooms mean the layout suits households that value privacy for guests or family members without sharing bathrooms. The gym and the home office visible in the property's interior photographs indicate that working from home and exercise can be absorbed within the house itself. The setting in a residential urbanisation means the immediate environment is quiet and low-rise compared with central Marbella. Río Real's position between the coast road and the green belt of golf courses gives the area a leafy character, with the elevation of about 178 metres providing a degree of overview towards the sea. With an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, outdoor use of the property extends well beyond the summer months, and the swimming season with water temperatures of at least 20°C lasts around four months. Shopping, dining beyond the immediate vicinity and most services are reached by car within minutes, which matches the pattern of most residential urbanisations in this part of Marbella.
The immediate surroundings of Río Real are residential and green, with golf courses as the dominant landscape feature. Greenlife Golf's driving range and course lie about 6.9 and 7.3 kilometres away, and Santa María Golf & Country Club about 7.7 kilometres, all reachable within a short drive. For sport beyond golf, the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima and a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion sit roughly 4.8 and 4.9 kilometres from the property. Marinas along the coast, Marina Marbella, Marina la Bajadilla and the Puerto Pesquero, are clustered between about 4.9 and 5.1 kilometres away, combining berths, dining and seaside promenades. Education is well covered in the wider area, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded, including the international options mentioned earlier. Healthcare access consists of five health centres in the region. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, 48 hotels with over 12,600 beds, which supports the seasonal economy and the range of services that remain active outside the summer months. Several viewpoints in the nearby hills, such as the Mirador de Ojén at 2.2 kilometres, offer walking and driving destinations with panoramas over the coast. Daily errands require a car: within 2 kilometres only one restaurant is recorded, so supermarkets and other retail are concentrated towards Marbella centre and the coastal road corridor.
The map shows the property's position in the Río Real urbanisation, east of Marbella centre and set back from the coast at about 178 metres elevation. Marbella lies 6 kilometres to the west, golf courses cluster to the north and east, and the marinas and beaches of the coastline sit within roughly five kilometres of the house.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Río Real occupies the eastern approach to Marbella, one of the established residential zones between the city centre and the golf valleys that continue towards Elviria and Estepona. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, functions as the local hub at 6 kilometres, while Málaga, the regional capital with about 579,000 inhabitants and the main international airport, lies 42 kilometres to the east. To the west, Algeciras at 71 kilometres marks the direction of Gibraltar and the Atlantic coast. Within the Costa del Sol, this location combines proximity to Marbella's services with the quieter, greener character of the golf belt, distinguishing it from both high-density coastal apartment zones and the more remote inland villages.
Accessibility is primarily car-based. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 34 kilometres away in a straight line, with Gibraltar Airport about 63 kilometres as an alternative for certain routes; all distances are as the crow flies, so actual road distances are longer. Marbella centre, with its full range of shops, restaurants and services, is approximately 6 kilometres distant, and Málaga city itself about 42 kilometres. Public transport in the area comprises nine lines with fifty stops, which offers basic connectivity but does not replace a private vehicle for daily use in the urbanisation. The coastal A-7 and the AP-7 toll motorway provide the main arteries along the coast, giving straightforward access towards Marbella, Fuengirola and Málaga in one direction and Estepona and Sotogrande in the other. An EV charging point, the Marbella Supercharger, is located about 8.6 kilometres away, relevant for electric vehicle owners. The property's own basement garage secures parking on site. Beaches and marinas lie within roughly five kilometres, and golf courses within seven to eight, which keeps the main leisure destinations of the Costa del Sol within a short driving radius.

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, typical of the Marbella coastline where the Mediterranean moderates both summer heat and winter cool. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, concentrated in the summer half of the year, while sea views from the property connect the house visually to that coastal environment. The elevation of 178 metres places the residence on the gentle slope between the coast and the Sierra foothills, high enough to open sightlines towards the sea from the upper levels and terraces, but low enough to avoid the winding access roads of higher inland villages. The nearby golf courses and the viewpoints in the hills, Mirador de Ojén at 2.2 kilometres and two further miradores within about 4.5 kilometres, indicate walking and hiking options close to home. The garden and pool extend living outdoors across most of the calendar, and the covered terrace and shaded dining area allow use during the hotter midday hours. With 32 local public holidays per year in the municipality, the annual rhythm includes a steady calendar of local events and traditions.

Beaches lie a short drive from the urbanisation, with the marinas at Marina Marbella, Marina la Bajadilla and the Puerto Pesquero all within roughly five kilometres, each offering access to the shoreline together with promenades and waterfront dining. Golf is the anchor recreation of this part of the coast: Greenlife Golf's driving range is about 6.9 kilometres away, the Greenlife course about 7.3 kilometres, and Santa María Golf & Country Club about 7.7 kilometres, giving several options within a ten-minute drive. For general sport, the municipal sports complex at 4.8 kilometres covers indoor and outdoor facilities. Nature-oriented recreation centres on the hills east of Marbella, where the viewpoints at 2.2 to 4.6 kilometres mark walking routes with coastal panoramas. Within the property itself, the private pool, solarium and garden provide daily recreation without leaving home, and the gym covers fitness routines year-round. The concentration of 48 hotels and over 12,600 tourist beds in the surrounding region sustains a wide offer of restaurants, beach clubs and leisure venues that remains available to residents throughout the year rather than only in peak season.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a different segment from the headline new-build projects in the region. Comparable developments listed along the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, are apartment-led projects in the eastern and western corridors of the coast, aimed largely at the volume market for second homes and holiday residences. A townhouse in Río Real at €1,950,000 instead belongs to Marbella's established residential belt, where pricing reflects the combination of proximity to Marbella centre, the golf-oriented green setting and the specification of an individual completed house rather than standardised apartment stock. Location reinforces this distinction. Torre del Mar and Mijas sit further from Marbella's service core, while Río Real lies about 6 kilometres from the city centre, within easy reach of its marinas, international schools and healthcare facilities. The surrounding infrastructure, 48 hotels and more than 12,600 beds in the tourist region, five health centres and dozens of schools, supports year-round habitability, which matters for buyers weighing permanent relocation against seasonal use. Transaction volume in the province, around 4,399 sales per year, indicates an active market with reasonable liquidity at the regional level, though the upper Marbella segment naturally moves more slowly than the volume apartment market. For buyers comparing options, the practical trade-off is clear: coastal new-build apartments elsewhere offer lower entry prices and communal amenities, whereas this residence offers space, privacy, a private pool and a finished, furnished condition in one of the coast's most established addresses. Whether that trade-off makes sense depends on intended use, permanent residence or extended stays favour the Río Real profile, while pure investment with rental rotation often aligns differently.
