Interior Description
This offering is a residential plot rather than a finished home, giving you the freedom to shape the architecture, layout and finishes to your own specification. You can work with an architect experienced in La Zagaleta’s design principles to create a contemporary villa, a more classical residence or a blended style that suits the surroundings. Meanwhile, the generous plot size supports a substantial main house, guest accommodation, wellness areas and staff quarters if required, always subject to community regulations and local planning rules. As a result, you are not adapting someone else’s design; instead, you are starting with a blank canvas in one of the most desirable private estates in Benahavís.
Terrace & Views
The west-facing orientation of this plot means that any future terraces, pool decks and garden seating areas can be positioned to capture afternoon sun and beautiful sunset light over the surrounding hills. From the site you enjoy tranquil views across lush green nature and towards dramatic mountains, with no sense of being overlooked. Moreover, careful villa design can maximise indoor-outdoor living, with large panoramic windows, covered terraces and rooftop chill-out spaces that all take advantage of the estate’s peaceful, natural setting.
Community & Amenities
La Zagaleta is renowned for combining ultimate privacy with outstanding on-site amenities. The estate offers 24-hour armed security, gated entrances and strictly controlled access, which together create a uniquely discreet environment. Additionally, residents and members enjoy two private 18-hole golf courses, an exclusive equestrian club, tennis facilities and a helipad, alongside a stylish clubhouse and concierge-style services. The low-density planning ensures that each home sits within generous grounds, surrounded by nature rather than high-rise buildings. At the same time, you remain within driving distance of Benahavís village, Marbella, Puerto Banús and the coastline, so everyday services, fine dining and international schools are still comfortably accessible.

FAQs
- What can I build on this plot in La Zagaleta? You can usually develop a substantial single-family villa with pool and landscaped gardens, always subject to La Zagaleta’s community regulations and the prevailing Benahavís planning rules; we will connect you with local architects for precise guidance.
- Is the plot mainly flat or sloping? The land follows the natural contours of the estate and offers a mix of gentle levels, which helps to create interesting architecture and tiered outdoor spaces; a topographical survey will confirm exact gradients before you finalise your villa design.
- How secure and private is La Zagaleta? La Zagaleta is regarded as one of the most secure estates in Europe, with 24-hour armed security, monitored entrances and low-density planning that ensures significant space between properties, so you enjoy both privacy and peace of mind.
- Which amenities and services are nearby? Within the estate you have private golf, equestrian and sports facilities, while Marbella, Puerto Banús, Benahavís village and the coast are all reachable by car, offering fine dining, shopping, marinas and international schools.
- How much should I allow for purchase costs on this residential plot? As a guide in Andalucía, many second-hand residential plots attract around 7% ITP plus approximately 3% for legal, notary and registry fees, totalling roughly 10%. On a price of €1,200,000, that suggests around €120,000 in taxes and costs and a total budget of approximately €1,320,000; however, VAT and AJD can apply instead in some cases, so we will confirm the exact structure for your purchase.
