Residential Plot for Sale in La Zagaleta Benahavis – €5,500,000

Plot & Build Potential in La Zagaleta Benahavis

This exceptional plot offers the opportunity to design and build a bespoke luxury residence in one of the most prestigious residential estates in Europe.

With a total plot size of 12,563 m², the land provides ample space for an impressive villa project surrounded by landscaped gardens, terraces and private leisure facilities.

The elevated setting ensures wide uninterrupted views while also maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties. Combined with its favourable south and south-west orientation, the plot enjoys abundant natural light and spectacular sunsets throughout the year.

For buyers seeking to create a fully customised home, this plot offers a rare chance to secure land in La Zagaleta where available building opportunities are increasingly scarce.

Views & Orientation

Thanks to its privileged hillside position, the plot enjoys expansive views across the surrounding natural landscape and towards the Mediterranean coastline.

The panorama stretches from the Ronda mountains across the golf course and towards the Strait of Gibraltar. On clear days, the views extend across the sea towards North Africa, creating a remarkable visual backdrop for a future residence.

The south to south-west orientation ensures sunlight throughout the day and particularly beautiful evening sunsets over the mountains.

Community & Location

La Zagaleta is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive residential communities in Europe. The estate covers approximately 900 hectares of protected countryside in the hills above Marbella and Benahavis.

Residents enjoy a unique level of privacy and security thanks to two controlled access gates and a dedicated 24-hour security service.

Within the estate there are two private championship golf courses, an exclusive clubhouse with restaurant facilities, tennis and paddle courts, extensive hiking trails and horse riding routes. The estate also features its own helipad, further enhancing accessibility and convenience.

Despite its secluded setting, La Zagaleta remains within easy reach of Marbella, Puerto Banús and the Costa del Sol’s beaches, offering a balance between privacy and lifestyle.
