Two floors and direct garden access on the golf side of Marbella

A lower-floor porch opens directly onto the gardens, while an upper-floor terrace adds a second outdoor area above. This 4 bedroom ground floor apartment in Río Real is arranged as a duplex, combining the ground-level access of a garden flat with a two-storey layout.

A 340 m2 built area ready for renovation

Inside, the built area measures 340 square metres across two floors. That is a substantial footprint for an apartment, comparable in scale to many houses on this stretch of coast. The current configuration includes a large living room, a separate kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Because the property requires renovation, a buyer is looking at a structural shell with the floor plate to rework the room divisions, or to open the separate kitchen into the main room if preferred, without paying for someone else's recent refurbishment.

The terrace, the porch and what the community includes

Outdoor space is split between the two levels, with a 40 square metre terrace and a 40 square metre plot measurement recorded in the title details. Having an upper terrace alongside the lower porch provides outdoor space on both levels, with direct access out to the garden from the lower floor. The apartment sits within a gated community with communal gardens and a communal swimming pool, so the upkeep of the lawns and pool plant stays with the community administration rather than the owner.

Living next to the Río Real golf course

Río Real sits on the eastern side of Marbella, built around its golf course and within reach of the beaches and the town centre. Buying this 4 bedroom ground floor apartment in Río Real means taking on a project in an established residential zone where plots are already built out. On a viewing, the main things to check are which of the bedrooms and bathrooms sit on the upper versus the lower floor, which internal walls are load-bearing before planning a new layout, and the community rules regarding renovation works and noise hours.
