A renovated three-bedroom villa in Ricmar, a small, quiet urbanisation in El Rosario, east Marbella, with its own pool and garden on a 646 m² plot. The build quality is the point here. The house was renovated throughout in 2018 to German standards: underfloor heating across the whole property, new pipework and new electrics, electric shutters on every window, and a large open-plan kitchen with Miele appliances. Buying a 1980s-era Marbella villa usually means inheriting someone else's plumbing; here that work is already done and documented. The entrance level holds the kitchen, a spacious living and dining room spread over two levels with a fireplace and access to the terrace, overlooking the pool and garden, plus two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Upstairs is the master with a walk-in wardrobe and a large family bathroom, together with a big flexible room that becomes a second living room, a fourth bedroom, a gym or a cinema. Below there is gated parking for two cars, several storerooms, a laundry, a man cave and a small bodega — the practical infrastructure that most villas at this level simply do not have. Position: surrounded by greenery with the mountains behind, quiet, and good for cycling, dog walking and hiking. Despite that, Costabella beach is about 1.5 km away on a flat, easy walk — you can genuinely leave the car. The English International College is within walking distance and several other international schools are close, which makes this a year-round family address rather than a summer one. The east Marbella golf courses are a few minutes away. 186 m² built on a 646 m² plot. Three bedrooms, four bathrooms, private pool and garden, underfloor heating, Miele kitchen, gated parking for two cars, storage, laundry and bodega. Renovated 2018.
