Karl Lagerfeld Villas, Marbella

Each of the five villas is sold whole, one house with its own plot, garden and basement garage. The two villas offered publicly in 2025 and 2026 sat on plots of 1,499 sq m and about 2,016 sq m. The site is enclosed and guarded, with a shared entrance and landscaped grounds, so a buyer takes the villa and, where the estate is constituted that way, a share of the common parts through a community of owners. The title form, the plot boundary and the community deed are confirmed for the specific villa before you commit.

Year round use, and no rental programme run by the developer. Letting is the owner's own decision and Spanish rules apply. A home let to tourists in Andalucía must file a declaración responsable and appear in the Registro de Turismo de Andalucía, and since 1 July 2025 a number from the national rental registry is needed before a short let can be advertised on a platform. Since 3 April 2025 a new tourist let inside a community of owners also needs the community's prior express approval, carried by three fifths of owners. Stays Avory arranges in a completed owner villa are subject to availability.

No service charge is published. The estate is enclosed and serviced, so a community charge for security, the entrance, the grounds and the water and lighting of the common parts is expected, and the figure and how it is assessed are confirmed for the specific villa before you commit. On top sit Marbella's annual IBI property tax, which Spanish councils set within a band of 0.4% to 1.1% of rateable value on urban property, the council's refuse charge, utilities, and the villa's own staff where you employ any.

Each villa carries its own spa, gym, cinema, wine cellar and two pools rather than sharing resort facilities, and the estate provides the gate, the grounds and the security. Both houses released so far are energy rated A for consumption and A for emissions. The list below is what the developer and the selling agents describe for those villas.

Five detached villas on a site of 9,670 sq m at Jardines del Río, drawn by The One Atelier under its head of design Andrea Boschetti, with Sierra Blanca Estates as developer and the Karl Lagerfeld brand directing the design. Each house runs over four levels: basement, ground floor, first floor and a rooftop solarium. Built areas are 1,045 to 1,385 sq m. Finishes are black and white terrazzo, dark wood, brushed and matt black steel and glass. A watercourse crosses the plot, and 300 to 350 trees of more than 15 species were planted.

The address is Urb. Jardines del Río, 4, on the Golden Mile, the stretch between Marbella town and Puerto Banús, with the Penibaetic mountains behind and the sea in front. The Marbella Club, Puente Romano and the beach clubs along the Golden Mile are a few minutes by car, and Puerto Banús a little further. Málaga airport is about 40 minutes by car and Gibraltar airport is 80 km west, both with direct flights across Europe and beyond. The coast runs year round rather than to a season.

Spain sets the cost of buying by the type of sale, not the buyer's nationality. A first sale from the developer carries VAT at the 10% rate Spain applies to dwellings, plus stamp duty in Andalucía of 1.2% on the deed. A resale instead pays transfer tax at 7% in Andalucía. Notary, registry and legal fees sit on top, and your Spanish lawyer checks the title and the community position before you sign. Buying no longer brings residence: the investor visa was repealed by Ley Orgánica 1/2025 and closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025.

Avory deals with the Sierra Blanca Estates sales office in Marbella and, on a resale, with the seller's own agent. After you enquire we ask for that villa's plan and specification, the plot boundary, the community deed and charge, the energy certificate and the handover date, then arrange a site visit. Stays in a completed owner villa are arranged with the owner, subject to availability. Nothing here is priced publicly and there are only five houses. Request access.
