La Zagaleta

Entry is roughly €10M for a smaller resale on a standard plot, with most active listings sitting in the €15-30M range. Trophy villas with full La Concha views or recent architect renovations cross €40M. Plot-only transactions are rare; almost everything sold is built.

Two perimeter gates (Marbella-side and Benahavís-side) with 24/7 manned security, mandatory ID for every entry, and helicopter pad on-site. Owners pay annual community fees in the €15-25k range covering security, road maintenance, and common areas. Construction inside is governed by a strict design committee — no glass towers, no flat-roof modernism without approval.

No — La Zagaleta is owner-occupier and long-term tenant only. The community statutes explicitly prohibit holiday rentals, and the security gate enforces this. If you want rental yield, look at Sierra Blanca or Cascada de Camoján instead; if you want absolute privacy and no neighbour churn, this is why people pay the premium.

Two private 18-hole courses (Old and New) reserved exclusively for owners and their guests. Membership is included with property ownership — you can't buy in without owning. Tee times are effectively always available; this is the polar opposite of a public-access golf club.

Yes — the community is roughly 60% international, with strong British, Scandinavian, Middle Eastern, and (historically) Russian representation. There's no formal invitation gate, but the seller's broker will run a soft KYC before accepting a viewing. Spanish residency is not required; non-residents pay the same 7-10% ITP transfer tax.

Turnover is low — roughly 15-25 active resales out of ~250 built plots at any given time, and many trade off-market. A focused search for a specific spec (e.g. south-facing, sea view, modern) usually takes 12-18 months of patient hunting. We hold a private list of off-market opportunities — contact Max directly.
