La Zagaleta is a unique and wonderful country-estate-come-luxury-resort in the Andalucían countryside, just a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean coast of Marbella. The resort is tailored to the tastes of the wealthy, with two golf courses, tennis courts, fishing lakes and an equestrian centre making up the activities to be pursued within the grounds.
The resort is home to only a few hundred properties, and only a handful of those ever become available. This, because the resort is renowned and highly sought after, ensures properties have held their value during the downturn.
Currently there are about 30-40 La Zagaleta properties for sale, and only about 3 of those are priced below the 5 million euro mark -- that is the quality of La Zagaleta. Below are the 3 most expensive properties for sale in La Zagaleta at the time of press:
1: La Roca Del Ray: 30 MILLION EUROS
La Roca Del Ray is a luxury mansion being built atop a hillside enjoying the most spectacular views of the resort, and out across the Mediterranean. The plot sits directly overlooking one of the golf courses, which adds a great deal of value in itself. The villa is to have marble floors, 10 bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, an entire floor dedicated to the master bedroom suite, and don't get me started on the kitchen and dining room. Of course the grounds will be host to an exquisite pool and poolside area.
2: 10 Bedroom 10 Bathroom Villa in the Best Position of the Resort: 11,500,000.00 EUROS
This massive luxury villa carries such a price tag, not only because it offers the ultimate in luxury, including, (on top of the 10 bedrooms and bathrooms) a gym, Jacuzzi, office, under floor heating and an elevator, but also because of its incredible location. The villa is 1850 square meters, and within a plot of 18,000 meters giving it substantial gardens, but most spectacular of all, is that the plot is right on the edge of a sheer drop, which gives the property some of the best views in La Zagaleta (just look at the pictures).
3: 7 Bedroom Villa with Amazing Gardens: 8,950,000.00 EUROS
Now this really is a special property. As you can see from the images the pool and stepped gardens are absolutely to die for, and just about justify the price tag alone. For anyone in need of further wowing, the villa has a Home Cinema, Sauna, Turkish Bath, Gazebo & Pool Bar and a large garage, as well as staff accommodation -- this is how the other half live.
