Exceptional Plot For Sale in La Zagaleta Benahavis

Plot & Build Potential

This is more than an undeveloped parcel of land. A significant part of the preparation required for a major residence has already been undertaken, including the building platform and substantial retaining walls. The investment in these works exceeds €2.5 million, which may considerably reduce the preliminary construction work required by the eventual owner.

The approved scheme allows for construction of up to approximately 3,900 m², creating scope for a residence on an exceptional scale. The architectural project has been designed by Miguel Tobal and accompanies the plot together with a fully paid building licence.

These elements are particularly important for a project of this size. Rather than starting with an untouched site, a buyer acquires land where substantial groundwork, design work and planning steps have already been completed. Any purchaser should nevertheless have their architect and legal team review the current project, licence and construction documentation before proceeding.

Terrace & Views at this Plot for sale in La Zagaleta Benahavis

The 15,643 m² plot occupies an elevated position with panoramic views towards the Mediterranean and across the surrounding La Zagaleta landscape. Its scale gives the approved residence considerable scope for landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and leisure spaces around the future villa.

The prepared platform has been positioned to take advantage of the open outlook. Therefore, the eventual residence can make the panoramic setting a central part of its architecture and outdoor living spaces.

Community & Location

La Zagaleta is one of the Costa del Sol's most private residential estates, with controlled access and 24-hour security. Large plots and extensive natural surroundings give its homes a level of seclusion that is difficult to replicate closer to the coast.

Residents have access to two private golf courses, an equestrian centre, tennis and padel facilities, a helipad and private residents' amenities. This combination of privacy, security and leisure infrastructure has established La Zagaleta as one of the area's most distinctive residential environments.

Despite the secluded hillside setting, Marbella, Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara and the coast remain accessible by car. The location therefore allows a future owner to combine substantial privacy with access to the wider Marbella and Benahavis lifestyle.

• How much can be built on the plot?

• Does the plot already have a building licence?
  Yes. The property is offered with an approved architectural project and a fully paid building licence. The licence and accompanying technical documentation should form part of the buyer's legal and architectural due diligence.
