Situated within the gated community of La Zagaleta, this building plot enjoys an exclusive location with 24-hour security. The surroundings are characterized by lush nature, offering panoramic views of both the sea and the valleys. While the plot provides tranquility and privacy, it remains close to Málaga's amenities.

This is a building plot and does not include any existing structures or finished amenities such as a swimming pool or garden. Its location within an exclusive estate may entail specific building regulations or community rules applicable to new developments.
This building plot suits developers or affluent individuals looking to create an exclusive residence in a prime location offering maximum privacy and security. It is a suitable choice for those wishing to undertake a bespoke project, leveraging an existing, approved building plan, and who value a serene environment with breathtaking views.

The plot is appropriate for those aiming for a luxurious lifestyle on the Costa del Sol post-construction, with access to golf, equestrian facilities, and proximity to exclusive amenities like Puerto Banús.
Although this is a building plot, an architectural project designed by Miguel Tobal, known for his contemporary aesthetic and integration with nature, is included. This implies potential for high-quality finishes, tailored to the architect's vision and the eventual buyer's preferences. The design's flexibility, with the possibility to expand the built area up to the maximum of 3,900 m², allows for luxury materials and advanced technical installations. The location in La Zagaleta suggests that the expected standard for the villa to be built will be very high, befitting the estate's exclusivity.

La Zagaleta is situated in the municipality of Benahavís, west of Málaga city. This location positions the project as an exclusive and tranquil haven within the vibrant Costa del Sol. It offers a stark contrast to more urban areas like Málaga itself, yet remains strategically convenient to key gateways such as Málaga Airport (9.2 km as the crow flies).

Beaches such as Playa de San Andrés are approximately 3.3 km away as the crow flies, and Playa de la Malagueta is 1.7 km away.

Public transport is limited to 1 line with 1 stop, underscoring the need for private transportation for full mobility and access to the numerous amenities in the area, such as the 354 restaurants and 99 pharmacies within a 2 km radius.

This building plot in La Zagaleta is in a league of its own compared to projects like Acqua Gardens, Aby Upper (both Estepona), and Alba Benalmádena. While these projects are offered from approximately €300,000 to €700,000, the La Zagaleta plot targets a significantly higher market segment with its €8,500,000 price tag. The lower-priced projects typically offer apartments or smaller villas in more urban or coastal areas, catering to a broader audience. La Zagaleta, conversely, is synonymous with extreme exclusivity, privacy, and space, which is reflected in the land price. Available plots in La Zagaleta are extremely scarce and offer the potential to build a mega-villa, something that is hardly feasible in the more developed coastal areas of Estepona or Benalmádena. The amenities within La Zagaleta itself, such as 24-hour security, golf courses, and its exclusive ambiance, justify the premium pricing compared to larger, yet less exclusive, residential developments elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.
