Property Description

Modern Villa with Great Views near the South Gate in La Zagaleta - Benahavís

Positioned close to the South Gate of La Zagaleta, this contemporary villa combines substantial proportions, extensive private grounds and panoramic views across the Mediterranean, surrounding valleys and mountains. Set on a 5,394 m² plot, the residence offers 1,448 m² of built space, including 958 m² of interiors and 490 m² of terraces, creating a property defined as much by its scale and setting as by its architecture.

Built in 2021, the villa is approached via a private driveway leading to an impressive double-height entrance with a glass façade. From the moment of arrival, the architecture establishes a strong connection with the landscape, with the views becoming an integral part of the experience. The main level follows an open-plan configuration, bringing together a formal living area, dining room and fully equipped kitchen with central island and adjoining pantry. These principal spaces open directly onto the terraces, landscaped gardens and pool, creating a seamless transition between the interior and exterior.

Additional accommodation and living spaces on this level include a separate TV room, an office positioned to take advantage of the mountain views, an en-suite guest bedroom and a guest toilet. The layout provides considerable flexibility for both family life and entertaining while maintaining clear separation between the different functions of the home.

The upper floor is arranged across two distinct wings. The principal suite occupies one side of the residence and is generously proportioned, with panoramic views, dual bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes. On the opposite wing, additional en-suite guest suites provide privacy and separation, with some benefiting from their own private terraces. This arrangement allows the bedroom areas to retain a sense of independence while remaining connected to the wider home.

The lower level is dedicated to leisure, wellness and entertainment. A private indoor spa incorporates a heated swimming pool, sauna and steam room, complemented by a fully equipped gym. Elsewhere, an entertainment area with bar and lounge provides a dedicated setting for socialising, while a temperature-controlled wine cellar adds a more intimate element to the entertaining spaces. A self-contained guest apartment provides additional accommodation and privacy for visitors or extended stays.

The connection with the outdoors continues across the property's substantial terraces. Covered and open-air areas create multiple settings for dining, lounging and entertaining, while a fully fitted outdoor kitchen extends the functionality of the interior kitchen into the garden. The private swimming pool sits within landscaped grounds, surrounded by the natural setting of La Zagaleta and framed by the property's open views.

A rooftop solarium provides an additional vantage point from which to appreciate the surrounding landscape. The property also benefits from a private garage, extensive parking and integrated home automation systems, adding convenience to the considerable scale of the residence.

La Zagaleta is one of the most established low-density residential estates in the Benahavís hills, known for its privacy, extensive natural surroundings, high level of security and golf-oriented lifestyle. The estate benefits from 24-hour security and its own equestrian centre and clubhouse, while this villa's position close to the South Gate provides particularly convenient access in and out of the development.

The wider Benahavís area offers access to renowned golf courses, international schools, restaurants and the wider Costa del Sol, while Marbella and Puerto Banús can be reached by road. The coastline and Mediterranean beaches are also accessible within a short drive, with the AP-7 providing connections towards Estepona, Marbella and Málaga International Airport.

With its substantial plot, 1,448 m² of built space, extensive terraces and panoramic outlook, this residence offers a rare combination of scale and privacy within La Zagaleta. The combination of generous family accommodation, dedicated wellness and entertainment facilities, extensive outdoor living and proximity to the estate's main amenities makes it particularly suited to those seeking a private contemporary residence in the Benahavís hills, while its setting and specification provide enduring appeal within one of the Costa del Sol's most sought-after residential communities.
