Discreet refinement
It must sometimes seem to home-seekers on the Coast – sifting through property brochures and websites − that just about every second villa or penthouse is “exclusive”. In fact, so many properties are now being described as such that it’s the non-exclusive ones that have become exclusive! Okay, that’s just being pedantic – a bit of literary licence to introduce the property featured here, which does truly put the capital “E” into “Exclusive”.
La Zagaleta Country Club – in the Benahavis hills, 400 metres above sea level on the picturesque road from San Pedro to Ronda – is considered one of Europe’s most select residential areas, with a glamorous past and a privileged present. In many respects it is set in a world of its own: absolute privacy with a comprehensive range of communal amenities and services – yet conveniently situated for travelling down to Marbella or into the Andalucian hinterland.
La Zagaleta is home to two excellent golf courses with their own clubhouses, an equestrian club and private riding course, a heliport, 24-hour security service, restaurants, tennis courts, indoor sports facilities (bowling and billiards), even fishing in three private lakes − as well as a whole gamut of services for a luxury lifestyle: banking, babysitters, limousines, etc.
Which brings us to this exceptional villa. Offering stunning views, the three-level home comprises two livings rooms, two patios, five bedroom suites, kitchen breakfast area with panoramic window, sizeable apartment with living/dining area, bedroom suite and kitchen, office with separate access, garage/carport for six cars, and gardens with irrigation system.
Other special features include a home cinema for 10 people, wine cellar, billiard room, swimming pool, chiringuito barbecue area, two jacuzzis, and light and music system.
