This grand villa is a refined front-line golf residence nestled in the most prestigious gated community in Spain: the exclusive enclave of La Zagaleta in Benahavís. Set within a privileged area of the estate known as “The Island,” the property offers an unparalleled level of privacy, with sweeping views over the golf course and surrounding mountains. Enveloped by nature and tranquility, it combines timeless architecture with luxurious interiors and extensive outdoor areas designed for both entertainment and serenity. Upon arrival, a long and elegant driveway framed by lush Mediterranean landscaping leads to the villa’s circular forecourt and welcoming main entrance. An underground garage with capacity for up to five vehicles ensures secure and discreet parking. Inside, the home opens to a spectacular entrance hall with soaring ceilings and clerestory windows that flood the space with natural light, immediately creating an atmosphere of grace and openness. The main living room is both spacious and warm, enhanced by a vaulted wooden ceiling and a feature fireplace that exudes the feeling of a true family home. This space flows naturally into the formal dining room, a striking circular room with conservatory-style windows offering panoramic views of the golf course and hills—a truly majestic setting for elegant dinners. Adjacent to this is a bright kitchen, which opens onto a charming breakfast room framed by glass and views of the gardens, blending indoor comfort with outdoor beauty. This floor also includes three generously sized double bedrooms, each tastefully appointed with fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort for family and guests alike. The upper level is reserved for the impressive principal suite, a serene retreat that enjoys spectacular outlooks, its own private terrace, a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious bathroom complete with hydrotherapy bath and walk-in shower. The lower level of the home continues the theme of luxury and versatility, with three further en-suite bedrooms—one of which is currently configured as a gym—and an expansive entertainment area. This includes a games room with a billiards table, a lounge-cinema zone and a fully fitted kitchen that makes it ideal for relaxed hosting. This floor also enjoys direct internal access to the garage and utility rooms. Throughout the home, each room benefits from independent air conditioning, and the property has been recently upgraded with a modern alarm system, water softening installation and a fully serviced climate control system. Outside, the villa’s south-west orientation ensures all-day sunshine across the meticulously manicured gardens, expansive terraces and the striking private pool. Multiple outdoor seating and dining areas, both shaded and open, offer ideal options for every time of day and season, all with breath-taking views of the estate’s natural surroundings. Ownership in La Zagaleta offers more than just a home—it is a lifestyle of discretion, prestige and exceptional amenities. Residents enjoy access to a private 36-hole golf course, a members-only country club, an equestrian centre, heliport and full concierge service. This villa, with its harmonious blend of classical elegance and family comfort, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark residence in one of Europe’s most exclusive communities.
