Your guide to buying property in La Zagaleta

Set in the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja Mountains, La Zagaleta is one of the most sought-after residential addresses on the Costa del Sol.

If you’re considering buying a property in this area, then congratulations on already making an excellent choice. Villas here are second-to-none and – coupled with the local expertise of Bromley Estates Marbella and our impressive property portfolio – you could be poolside in your dream home sooner than you think.

Why La Zagaleta?

La Zagaleta is perfect if you’re seeking luxury and exclusivity. From its privileged position, looking out over the Mediterranean coastline, this gated countryside estate covers over 900 hectares of secure, private land.

Homes here benefit from world-class on-site amenities. They include:

• 24-hour concierge service
• 24-hour surveillance system
• Two 18 hole golf courses – La Zagaleta and Los Barrancos
• Clubhouse
• Tennis club
• ‘The Riding Club’ equestrian centre
• Nature reserve

With all this at your fingertips, there’s little need to venture far. But, if you fancy upping the tempo, La Zagaleta is just a short drive from the glitz and glamour of Marbella and Puerto Banús.

Types of property available

La Zagaleta predominately offers luxury villas, although there are also a selection of contemporary apartments to choose from.

Villas here rank among the best in Marbella, all set within the manicured grounds of large plots that ensure space, privacy and uninterrupted views.

Typical property features include spas, gyms, wine cellars, home cinemas, entertainment rooms and, in some cases, even helipads.

Exclusivity is key to La Zagelata’s appeal, so further development is intentionally kept to a minimum. That said, we do have a number of plots available, for those who prefer to be involved in the design and building process from the outset.

Property prices

Homes in this area are hugely sought after and have consistently retained their high retail value. As a guide, prices start at several million euros and can rise well beyond that.

The buying process

You’ve decided La Zagaleta is the place for you, but what happens next?

Once you find the perfect property, the next step is to draw up a reservation contract. This is standard procedure in Spain, allowing you to reserve a property for a period of time during which your lawyer conducts a thorough investigation of the property.

Once this ‘due diligence’ has been carried out, your lawyer will inform you of their findings. You can then move the buying process forward to a private purchase contract. This is the formal contract between consumer and vendor setting out the terms and conditions of the purchase.
