Villa for sale in La Zagaleta

Villa Tilo is a Mediterranean-style villa for sale in La Zagaleta that combines a 983 m² interior with a west-facing 4,418 m² plot and a high degree of privacy. The house looks across landscaped gardens and the surrounding hills, while its traditional exterior opens to more contemporary interiors finished with wood, marble and carefully planned lighting.

The main living level is organised around an open lounge, dining areas and a fitted kitchen, with direct connections to the terraces and garden. Six bedrooms and six bathrooms provide accommodation for family and guests, and the generous floor area allows the principal rooms to retain their scale without crowding the sleeping areas. Multiple indoor and outdoor dining spaces make it possible to use different parts of the house through the day.

Leisure facilities are integrated into the residence rather than added as an afterthought. They include a cinema room, gym, sauna, spa and heated pool, supported by underfloor heating and security systems. Outside, the garden follows the contours of the plot, with a private swimming area and open views towards the mountains and countryside. A garage accommodates three cars.

La Zagaleta is a private gated estate in the hills of Benahavís, reached from the A-397 road between San Pedro de Alcántara and Ronda. The community covers a former country estate and is known for controlled access, low-density villas and large plots set among wooded hills. Residents have access to two private golf courses, clubhouses and equestrian facilities within the estate. San Pedro, Puerto Banús and Marbella are reached by car, while Benahavís village lies inland in the same municipality.

The privacy and internal facilities reduce the need to leave the estate for day-to-day leisure. The corresponding trade-off is that every trip to shops, schools or the coast is car-dependent, and the large plot and extensive building require a higher level of ongoing maintenance.
