Plot for sale in La Zagaleta, Benahavis

This west-facing 6.400m2 plot-plus 1,150m2 villa building project is set within one of the most exclusive residential gated estates in the world.

The La Zagaleta residential estate is set in stunningly wild Andalucian countryside high in the hills high overloking the coast, just a few kilometres inland from Puerto Banús.

It’s one of the most secure, private communities money can buy and is home to only a select few residents.

Amenities within the vast mountainside complex include private golf courses, an equestrian centre, an exclusive clubhouse and restaurant, bars, chill out lounges, tennis and padel courts, meeting rooms and a private night club.

For those that have the means, there’s even also a helipad and – as the estate is effectively a vast private nature reserve – an abundance of Andalucian flora and fauna at its stunning best – cork oaks, conifers, olive trees, madroñas, dogwoods and rockrose brushes, deer, buck mouflon, hispanic goat and pheasant.

The plot itself is offers 270º (N/W&S) views across the estate and is completely ready for construction – the purchaser can start building immediately as the earth movement and all the retaining walls of the plot have already been completed.

The building licence is in place.

The architectural project can be adapted according to the purchaser’s needs and full plans are available.

The architectural plans are for a villa offering all the features of a mansion, yet retaining the warmth of a family home.

Accessed via its own private driveway, the property boasts a split-level garden completed with a split-level cascading swimming pool.

As an interesting note for potential investors – a smaller villa built to inferior quality specifications on an adjacent smaller plot to this one was sold in August 2009 for €4.2M.
