The List Rio Real
Project lifecycle
The List Rio Real, in context.
The List Rio Real is a gated community of 27 semi-detached townhouses set in the leafy, golf-lined district of east Marbella, conceived for buyers who want privacy within minutes of the town's centre. Completed in 2024, the homes are built across staggered levels to follow the slope of the land, a design decision that gives every residence open views towards the Mediterranean.
Interiors run from 217 to 320 m² across four and five bedrooms, arranged over basement, ground and first floors, with a rooftop solarium and private pool crowning each home. Every unit includes an underground garage. Prices currently range from €1,890,000 to €4,950,000.
With 23 of the 27 homes already sold, only four remain. For a completed, move-in-ready scheme in this corridor, that scarcity is the defining fact for anyone still considering an entry.

Live data refreshed nightly from our multiple independent sources.
The off-plan discount, stage by stage
Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. The List Rio Real currently sits in the Completed band.
This is not off-plan but a completed 2024 scheme, which removes the usual construction and delivery risk — the homes are finished and can be viewed. With 23 of 27 sold, only four remain, so choice of orientation and floor level is limited. Against a local median of roughly €3,836/m², these townhouses sit at the premium end, reflecting the private pools, sea views and gated amenities rather than the district's resale average.
Why buyers reserve at this stage
Personalisation window
Reserving during the Completed phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.
Scarcity and specification
4 of 27 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.
Risk-managed entry
Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.
The premium, contextualised
Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.
The List Rio Real is not priced against average Marbella resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €8,710 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €3,859/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Marbella
Rio Real sits on Marbella's quieter eastern flank, threading golf fairways and coastline. The nearest beach is around 1.5 km — roughly three minutes by car — with Playa de la Bajadilla and El Alicate close behind. Marina Marbella and the town's restaurants, cafés and bars cluster about 2 km away, while everyday needs are covered by Aldi, Mercadona and Alcampo within four to five minutes.
Two major hospitals, Costa del Sol and Quironsalud, are under five minutes' drive, and Rio Real Golf lies roughly 10 minutes away. Málaga airport is around 35 to 45 minutes by road. The climate is temperate year-round, with average highs of 21°C and lows near 15°C, favouring the indoor-outdoor living the homes are built around.

Understand the full picture
Spanish purchases involve taxes and fees that catch first-time international buyers off-guard. We surface every figure that matters.
Typical off-plan payment schedule
Spanish new-build purchases are typically paid in three staged instalments, with every euro held under bank guarantee until completion.
Total cost of ownership
Spanish mortgage scenario
Indicative non-resident mortgage on the slider price above. Spanish banks typically lend 60–70% LTV to non-residents over 20–25 years.
Investment outlook
Three scenarios our analysts model on every Costa del Sol off-plan deal.
Residency planning for non-EU buyers
Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.
