La Zagaleta Villas For Sale: June 2010

We have just listed a plot with seriously impressive views that reach to the beaches of Elviria, right down to the rock of Gibraltar. This La Zagaleta plot of land for sale is also very flat, an unusual thing within this mountainous terrain, this will obviously mitigate your construction costs, particularly for the initial remedial work, such as retaining walls, that are generally a massive expense for prospective house constructors here.

The plot is on ther market for €3,500,000 and covers nearly 8000m2, allowing a total of 15% total build density for the home that will fill the site. We do have the topographic plans for the land and many, many images taken from all angles, all of this can be obtained by following the link above and registering with us.

There were only ever 415 plots offered for sale within this 900 Hectare estate and there are some 245-ish houses already contrsucted. The majority of the new plots are still not available for sale, as they are in the area surrounding the Los Barrancos Golf Course in the North Easterly section of the estate. Most of these plots, when they do come on the market, will not offer this level of views and the terrain won´t be as forgiving. This makes this type of plot a really finite commodity when it comes to investment too.

This La Zagaleta house has faces south west ensuring you can enjoy all the afternoon sun around the pool area. You are also furnished with great views to the golf course, mountains and mediterranean sea and betond to Africa and Gibraltar. The property consists of two villas joined by glass walled gallery, including a marble fountain styled similar to the Alhambra palace . The original wing was designed by the famous archictect Miguel Tobal.

The property has a living room and split level dining area, there is a library and excellent terraced areas. There is a very well appointed kitchen, a guest cloakroom and 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a wine cellar, gym, a cinema, laundry room and 3 storage rooms. The house has 8 bedrooms distributed over 1109 m² on a piece of land measuring 5755 m².

The flooring of this house is finished in terracotta tiles that have inlays of marble, the bathrooms have a grade of marble named travertine. The newest wing has a beautiful patio area and a big open plan living and dining area complete with a fireplace. The property has a great garden with a big swimming pool with jacuzzi close by, all of which take advantage of the excellent views.

The property is kitted out with underfloor heating, hot and cold air-con. There is also a wireless internet connection, music system, satellite television and electric sun blinds.

We have just listed a 3200m2 La Zagaleta Plot of Land For Sale . The plot is one of the few remaining "level" pieces of land currently on the market, benefitting the prospective purchaser, because of a reduction in retaining wall costs. The plot has country views across the Andalucian countryside and will offer a good level of privacy to the new owner.

This does represent a good investment, as there were only ever 415 plots made available for sale, bear in mind 245 of them have now been built on and there will never be any more zoned within the development. To put things into perspective, in terms of build density, La Zagaleta covers 900 Hectares, so the total number of houses within will still enjoy an unsurpassed level of privacy. This philiosophy won its current owners the Ford Award for conservation of nature.

Build costs can vary, dependent on the quality of construction and fininsh you require. If you work to €2000 per m2, you will have an excellent specifiction property. It is also worth knowing that from when you purchase the plot, you will then need to submit plans to the local town hall, in this case Benahavis and can take up yo 2 years for approval. La Zagaleta also have a strict criteria when it comes to what you can build, but this is a massive positive, as all the houses demonstrate a great sympathy to the surrounding areas.
