What is La Zagaleta?
The secluded urbanisation of La Zagaleta is one of the most exclusive and prestigious gated communities in Europe, and has become a staple of the Marbella luxury lifestyle. In 1991, it started its development as a private hunting estate, covering 900 hectares of protected wooded groves and green valleys.
Currently, there are 230 properties within the gated community, but there are still plots available that can increase the total number by 190. This means that La Zagaleta has the potential of having 420 properties within its gates, much like the vision dictated by one of its investors, Enrique Perez Flores, in the 90s.
Today, this sophisticated residential estate combines independence, privacy and tranquillity with a fascinating setting, luxurious facilities and services brought to an unprecedented level. Residents have private access to 50 km of internal roads spread throughout its valleys, leisure and sports amenities, such as two golf courses, two clubhouses, an equestrian centre, a tennis club, and a concierge service. Not to mention a helipad for private arrivals. La Zagaleta is not only a place; it has become a lifestyle.
When was La Zagaleta founded?
In 1990, Enrique Perez Flores and a group of investors purchased the 900 hectares plot in Benahavis, privately owned by Saudi multi-millionaire Adnan Khashoggi, then known as La Baraka, his private hunting estate. Mr Perez had the vision to create a private estate nestled in nature with 420 homes embedded within the foothills of the Serranía de Ronda. In 1992, construction of the first golf course, the first internal roads and homes began. In 1994, the old clubhouse was inaugurated.
What is the history of La Zagaleta?
La Zagaleta, along with other hectares of land, was originally part of the land initially owned by Thierry Roussel, the french multi-millionaire. Roussel left the land to his family, which encompassed what is currently known as El Madroñal, La Zagaleta and La Reserva de Alcuzcuz, meaning that the family owned 1,500 hectares of land. The land began to break into three zones when Saudi multi-millionaire Adnan Khashoggi fell in love with the estate and offered to buy land off the Roussel.
Khashoggi then designated the northern zone of the estate La Baraka, where he built many extravagant villas and would throw private events and parties that mirrored the glitz and glamour of Marbella in the 80s.
In 1991, a group of investors led by Enrique Perez Flores acquired Khashoggi's property and renamed it La Zagaleta. This is what commenced the culmination of the gated community and private plots on 900 hectares of land. Khashoggi's old house was then converted into what is now the clubhouse and restaurant of the La Zagaleta Golf Club.

In fact, Drumelia had it listed exclusively and successfully sold. Amongst other examples, Drumelia have also succesfully sold the famous Heaven 11 Villa Cristal, Villa Salucci and Villa Cipres, both priced over €10,000,000.
How much does it cost to buy a plot in La Zagaleta?
The land prices start at just under €1,200,000, and prices can go up to €13,500,000 or more. The value comes mainly from the views, orientation, and the final flat garden, not just the price per m². As La Zagaleta was founded on a mountainous range with steep land surfaces, you sometimes find a 4,000 m² plot with a flat garden or one large property set on an 8,000 m² plot. The land sizes vary from 3.000 m² up to approximately 15.000 m². There have been cases where land owners combine multiple plots to create one vast plot.

Maintaining such residences usually costs around €70,000 a year, and the community fee is around €1,000 per month. So, it is safe to say that La Zagaleta cannot get any more exclusive than this! To be able to live in La Zagaleta, their investment must represent 10% of their fortune.
How much would it cost to build a house in La Zagaleta?
Many clients have enquired about whether it was better to buy a house or build one from scratch. We are speaking from experience, as Drumelia had the pleasure of developing Villa Arcadio, which won the prize as the Best Villa in Europe in 2016. It was challenging work but very gratifying. Drumelia was responsible for the project management, and the team members were at the building site every week for two years. The building process can be stressful, and the result depends on you.
As an approximation, you are looking at spending €2,000-€3,000 per m² of land. Here is an example of a calculation to give an approximation of how much it would cost to build a 1.200 m² house on 4.000 m² plot in La Zagaleta:
If you take the minimum per m², you are looking at €2,000/m² x 1,200m² = €2,400,000. Building is much more complicated in Zagaleta because of its terrain, so a good retaining wall would be needed, which costs around €300,000. Then, you can factor in €100,000 for a fully fitted kitchen and another €100,000 for the landscaping of the garden. Adding these costs together, you are now looking at €2,900,000. However, this figure does not consider architect fees, project management fees, licenses, geological studies, technical reports, building permits and taxes. As an estimation, let's say this is all an extra €600,000, which brings your total to €3,500,000.
That price is for the property itself, you must also factor in the price of the plot itself and the taxes on top of the price. For the sake of the example, let's say the plot costs €3,000,000 without purchase taxes. You would be looking at €3,000,000 + €3,500,000 + purchase taxes, which brings you to a final price of approximately €7,000,000.
Please note that this price does not include the amount needed to furnish the house, as, at the end of the day, the price depends on the quality of the furniture and personal preference.
How long does it take to get a construction license in La Zagaleta?
In Spain, you need to obtain what is referred to as a Major Construction License (Licencia de Obra Mayor) when building a property, as the project affects structural nature. This license is what allows you to build a property legally and must be issued prior to work commencing. This license allows 12 months for building to begin and then 6-24 months to complete the build, depending on the scale of the project.
When it comes to the amount of time it takes to obtain one, every province in Spain has their own set of rules and timeframes that are subject to the type of construction project taking place. In Málaga, each municipality also has their set rules, regulations and timeframe. La Zagaleta falls under the municipality of Benahavis, and the Major Construction License is requested at the Benahavis Town Hall. In Benahavis' case, there have been instances where the license was obtained in just 15 days, but on average the time it takes to obtain a license is 3 months. However, the time differs depending on many factors, such as the scale of the project and the location of the project.
