You enter on the ground floor into a generous, light-filled living space where the sitting room flows naturally into the kitchen. Marble flooring runs throughout, and a fireplace anchors the room - the kind of detail that makes a house feel like a home rather than a showpiece. With direct access to the outdoor kitchen, covered terrace and garden beyond, the ground floor is designed around the way people actually live in Marbella: indoors and outdoors, seamlessly connected.
The indoor kitchen integrates with the living space on the ground floor, while the real centrepiece for anyone who loves to entertain is the fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Fitted with a barbecue, oven, laundry area, kitchen, guest toilet and a 200-litre water heater, this is a proper outdoor room rather than a summer afterthought. Whether it's a long Sunday lunch with family or an evening barbecue as the sun drops behind the mountains, this space earns its place every day of the year.
The villa offers five bedrooms across two floors, each with its own character. On the ground floor, two bedrooms feature parquet flooring, built-in wardrobes and air conditioning - practical, comfortable and well-finished.
Upstairs, the three remaining bedrooms make the most of the villa's elevated position. The master suite is genuinely generous, with enough space for a sitting area, and benefits from a private en suite with both bathtub and shower. A second bedroom opens onto its own private balcony with mountain views. The third looks out towards the sea. Two very different outlooks, both worth waking up to.
Four bathrooms serve the five bedrooms comfortably. The ground floor bathroom features a shower, while the master en suite upstairs offers the option of both bathtub and shower. Recent renovations on the upper floor mean the bathrooms, along with the floors and windows, have been refreshed to a modern standard while retaining the warmth of the original villa.
This is where the property really distinguishes itself. The 58 m² pool is one of the largest on a private residential plot in the area, surrounded by mature planting that ensures complete privacy. The garden wraps around the villa with the kind of established vegetation that simply cannot be bought new - it takes decades to create and adds a quality of seclusion that is increasingly rare.
The fruit garden is extraordinary by any standard. Fully productive and thoughtfully planted, it includes two avocado trees, four fig trees, two mango trees, two orange trees, two grapevines, a lemon tree, a papaya, a loquat and a peach tree. An automatic electric irrigation system keeps everything in excellent condition year-round, including when the owners are away. Fresh seasonal fruit from your own garden for much of the year is one of those simple pleasures that quickly becomes non-negotiable.
Solar panels reduce energy consumption and running costs. The 39 m² garage and 33 m² storage room add practical value. A further 69 m² outdoor area encompasses a 9 m² covered terrace and patio, outdoor kitchen, laundry area and WC — a fully functional outdoor living zone that works hard all year.
A Personal Note
Properties like this are becoming genuinely hard to find. It has the space, the plot and the views that buyers come to Marbella looking for. But what sets it apart is the garden - mature, private, productive and completely its own world.
You can sit by the pool surrounded by mango and avocado trees, with sea views in one direction and mountains in the other, and feel entirely removed from everything. And yet Marbella centre is five minutes away.
The solar panels, recent renovations and outdoor kitchen tell you this is a home that has been maintained with care and thought. It is ready to be lived in, not worked on.
For a family looking to put down roots in Rio Real, or an investor seeking a property with serious holiday rental potential, this is one to see in person. It is the kind of home that makes much more sense once you are standing in it.
