Occupying a privileged position within La Zagaleta, one of Europe’s most exclusive private estates, this remarkable frontline plot offers the rare opportunity to create a signature residence in a setting of complete privacy and exceptional beauty. Located at the end of a quiet cul de sac, it enjoys sweeping 270 degree views over the new golf course, manicured fairways, and the surrounding mountain landscape, all within an estate renowned for its discretion, security, and outstanding amenities, including two private golf courses, an equestrian centre, helipad, tennis and padel club, elegant clubhouses, and scenic walking and cycling trails.
Ready for construction, the plot includes a long private driveway and a fully levelled building platform, carefully positioned to maximise views and southern light. The approved architectural concept by Marco van Veldhuizen brings together timeless minimalism, refined proportions, and a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces, creating the foundation for an exceptional contemporary home.
