Located within the prestigious gated community of La Zagaleta, this elegant classical villa offers exceptional privacy, panoramic sea and valley views, and a rare opportunity to modernise a substantial estate in one of Europe’s most exclusive residential addresses.

Set on an expansive private plot of approximately 8,300 m², the property combines timeless Mediterranean architecture with generous interior volumes, mature landscaped gardens, and an exceptional natural setting surrounded by greenery and open views.

While the villa has been well maintained and remains fully functional, it would benefit from renovation and modernisation, offering significant potential for buyers seeking to reposition a home within one of the Costa del Sol’s most prestigious communities.

The residence is centred around elegant classical proportions and refined architectural details, beginning with an impressive double-height entrance hall that creates a strong sense of arrival and grandeur.

The main living areas are spacious and filled with natural light, connecting directly to covered terraces overlooking the gardens, heated swimming pool, and Mediterranean coastline beyond. Formal and informal reception areas are complemented by a separate dining room and a generously proportioned designer kitchen.

The villa currently offers four spacious bedrooms, including a principal suite occupying the entire upper floor. This private retreat includes a marble bathroom, dressing area, and private terrace with panoramic views across the valley and towards the sea.

Additional features include a wine cellar, sauna, and garage with space for three vehicles, alongside extensive exterior areas designed around privacy, tranquility, and outdoor living.

The mature gardens are one of the property’s defining characteristics, incorporating manicured lawns, mature trees, and peaceful shaded areas that create a highly private and serene environment. A charming gazebo further enhances the outdoor lifestyle appeal of the estate.

Residents of La Zagaleta benefit from access to one of Europe’s most exclusive country club communities, offering 24-hour gated security, two private golf courses, equestrian facilities, racquet club, concierge services, and private heliport access.

Positioned only a short drive from Marbella, Puerto Banús, and the beaches of the Costa del Sol, the property combines complete privacy and security with convenient access to international schools, restaurants, luxury shopping, and lifestyle amenities.

With its elevated setting, panoramic views, substantial plot, and strong renovation potential, this villa represents an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke luxury estate within one of Southern Europe’s most prestigious residential enclaves.
