La Zagaleta Plot - Southwest Facing plot in Europe's most exclusive gated community

This southwest-facing building plot for sale in La Zagaleta Sector B presents a rare opportunity to develop a three-level contemporary villa of exceptional scale on a generous 6,439 m² parcel within one of Europe’s most exclusive residential estates.

The plot is offered with a ready-to-execute architectural project, allowing construction to begin immediately on a landmark residence designed with expansive volumes, refined circulation, and a clear division between living, leisure, and private zones. The proposed villa design includes approximately 2,133 m² of enclosed built space, complemented by over 500 m² of terraces, covered porches, and exterior entertainment areas distributed across three carefully planned floors.

The project envisions a substantial contemporary home where architecture and landscape are seamlessly integrated. The lower level, with around 355.61 m² of enclosed interior space, is dedicated to wellness, leisure, and operational functions. This floor has been designed to include a spa and wellness area, staff accommodation, technical and service rooms, a wine cellar, and flexible amenity spaces suitable for a gym, cinema room, or bespoke leisure facilities. Natural light has been incorporated into the design to ensure this level benefits from brightness and comfort, creating a private retreat rather than a conventional basement.

The main living floor forms the central core of the future villa. With approximately 1,383.62 m² of enclosed space and 198.76 m² of terraces, this level is conceived for both refined daily living and large-scale entertaining. The layout allows for expansive reception rooms, open-plan lounges, formal and informal dining areas, a statement kitchen, and bedroom suites, all flowing naturally toward wide terraces. These outdoor spaces are planned as true extensions of the interior, offering generous zones for dining, relaxation, and social gatherings, with direct access to the landscaped gardens and the pool area envisioned within the project.

The upper level serves as the arrival and access floor, designed to create a strong architectural first impression. This level includes approximately 394.67 m² of enclosed space, a 103.00 m² covered porch, and 207.84 m² of terraces, alongside a private garage of 89.25 m² and guest parking of 48.23 m². Beyond its functional role, this floor also offers elevated outdoor areas ideal for entertaining, enjoying open views, and maximising the southwest orientation, which is particularly valued for afternoon sun and sunset light.

La Zagaleta Sector B is known for its expansive plots, very low construction density, and a residential environment defined by privacy, security, and protected natural surroundings. The neighbourhood is characterised by a collection of high-end contemporary and classical villas set within rolling hills, cork oak forests, and private roads. Residents benefit from 24-hour gated security, two private golf courses, the Old Course and the New Course, an equestrian centre, and an exclusive clubhouse offering dining facilities and social spaces.

The setting combines tranquillity with accessibility. Beaches such as Playa de Guadalmina and Playa del Saladillo are reachable in around 15 minutes by car, providing access to well-maintained stretches of coastline and popular beach venues such as Barbillon Beach Club and Pepe’s Beach. Day-to-day services, supermarkets, and dining options are available in nearby commercial areas, while gourmet restaurants and boutique shopping can be found a short drive away. Road connections from La Zagaleta provide efficient access along the coast and towards Málaga Airport, making both daily travel and international connections convenient.

This southwest-facing plot with an approved villa project represents an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke contemporary residence in a setting defined by space, nature, and exclusivity, offering future owners the chance to build a substantial home tailored to luxury living within one of Southern Europe’s most prestigious gated communities.
