Estates for sale in La Zagaleta.
Continental Europe's most exclusive private estate — by membership only.
2 residences on the market · €3M – €3.3M.
Estate prices in La Zagaleta currently range from €5 million to over €40 million, with the zone average at €14,800 per built square metre based on 2025 closed transactions — the highest of any residential zone on the Costa del Sol (June 2026). The estate category at this address refers to residential compounds that go beyond a single main villa: properties with a principal residence, one or more guest houses or staff quarters, equestrian facilities, private tennis courts, or multi-building configurations on plots of 3,000 to 50,000 square metres.
La Zagaleta is a 900-hectare private mountain estate above the municipality of Benahavís, approximately 12 kilometres inland from Marbella. It opened in 1991 on former Adnan Khashoggi hunting grounds and has operated on an approval-only membership model since its inception. Approximately 230 residential plots exist within the perimeter; all new acquisitions require membership approval from the La Zagaleta management. The estate is closed to non-members and day visitors — there are no hotel facilities and no public access road.
Amenities within the estate are entirely private: two 18-hole championship golf courses (the Old and the New Course, both designed for member exclusivity rather than public play), a private heliport (the only private helipad in southern Spain with regular IFR capability), an equestrian club, a clubhouse, and a tennis and padel complex. The infrastructure is maintained by the estate management to a standard closer to a private club than a residential development.
Approximately 62% of La Zagaleta transactions complete off-market — fewer than 12 to 15 estates change hands in a typical year. Muse Selection maintains established relationships with the current membership and the estate management, providing access to inventory that does not enter open portals.
