Plot & Build Potential

Positioned on elevated terrain, the plots enjoy open south-facing views across wooded hillsides, golf fairways and the Mediterranean coastline. Each site offers full privacy while remaining conveniently close to the main north entrance of La ​ Zagaleta, which simplifies access for owners, guests and construction teams. The generous combined size allows for a striking build concept: one grand landmark villa with extensive landscaped grounds or two independent residences, each with its own driveway, pool and gardens. Moreover, paved access roads, mains utilities and fibre-optic connections are already in place, which helps streamline future construction. A preliminary architectural project exists for two luxury villas; although the original building licences have expired, renewal is typically straightforward under current planning procedures. In addition, La ​ Zagaleta’s architectural committee favours sustainable, low-density designs, which supports long-term value and harmony across the estate.

La Zagaleta Lifestyle & Community

Owning land in La ​ Zagaleta means joining one of the most private residential communities in Europe. The estate covers nearly 900 hectares of protected countryside and offers two private golf courses, an equestrian centre, helipad, tennis courts and elegant clubhouses with fine dining and social spaces. Furthermore, 24-hour staffed security at all entrances, CCTV and on-site patrols ensure a discreet, secure living environment. Residents enjoy a lifestyle defined by peace, nature and discretion, yet Marbella’s Golden Mile and Puerto Banús are only around fifteen minutes away. International schools such as Atalaya International College and Laude San Pedro are within comfortable driving distance, while Málaga Airport lies roughly 50 minutes away by car.

FAQs

• Can two villas be built?
  Yes. The plots are independent and allow either one large villa spanning both parcels or two separate homes, subject to La ​ Zagaleta’s planning and design guidelines.
• Are utilities connected?
  Both plots benefit from paved road access, mains electricity, water and fibre-optic connections, which helps simplify the development process.
• Is the building licence active?
  Previous permits associated with a basic project for two villas have expired, but renewal is generally straightforward under current procedures. We’ll outline the steps and timings.
• How secure is the community?
  La ​ Zagaleta offers 24-hour staffed gates, CCTV and private patrols throughout the estate, providing one of the highest levels of residential security in Europe.
• How much are the total purchase costs?
  As a guide on a resale land purchase in Andalucía, allow roughly 10% in total (7% ITP plus around 3% for notary, registry and legal fees). On a price of €8,000,000, this suggests approximately €800,000 in costs and an indicative total budget of about €8,800,000 including taxes and fees. We’ll confirm exact figures for your case and can provide a personalised cost breakdown.
