Description

Grupo Ibercosta is proud to present a truly unique investment opportunity in the heart of Southern Spain. Nestled in the hills of Estepona, this sprawling estate offers a level of privacy and natural beauty that is increasingly rare on the Costa del Sol. Recently reduced from €4,995,000 to €4,500,000, this property represents an extraordinary value for visionary investors or those seeking the ultimate private retreat. Spanning a massive 452,000 square meters, this estate provides a canvas for luxury living, rural tourism, or large-scale development in one of Europe’s most sought-after climates.

Prime Location and Unmatched Accessibility

Located just 6 kilometers from the prestigious Hotel Kempinski and the main Carretera de Cádiz, the estate is a mere 7-minute drive from the shoreline of Estepona. Despite its profound sense of isolation and tranquility, the property remains exceptionally accessible via a fully asphalted road that leads directly to the front door of the main residence. This strategic location allows residents to enjoy the high-end amenities, beaches, and golf courses of Estepona and Marbella while retreating to a mountain sanctuary that feels worlds away from the bustle of the coast. For those arriving from further afield, the estate features its own private helipad, ensuring swift and discreet access.

A Landscape of Natural Wonder

The topography of this estate is its most defining feature. Because of its unique elevation and orientation, the property offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the Rock of Gibraltar, and the North African coastline—views that have remained unchanged for centuries. The land is bordered by the Rio Velerín, which flows year-round through the property, creating a lush environment filled with natural waterfalls and rock swimming pools. The estate also boasts its own private forest, home to wild boar, partridge, and deer, offering a true connection with nature. Within the center of the plot lies 100,000 square meters of perfectly flat land, once used for wheat and mango plantations, which offers the potential for a private aircraft runway or extensive equestrian facilities.

Refurbished Farmhouse and Guest Accommodations

The primary residence is a beautifully refurbished farmhouse that retains all the rustic charm and character of traditional Andalusian architecture. The main house features four spacious bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, a dressing room, and a double drawing room designed for elegant entertaining. A large kitchen and breakfast room serve as the heart of the home. Outside, the property is equipped with sun-drenched terraces, a private swimming pool, four garages, and a manicured vegetable garden. In addition to the main house, a separate guest cottage provides a double bedroom, kitchen, lounge, and shower room, ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors. Several out-houses and a historic hamlet with a traditional kiln add further character and utility to the grounds.

Development Potential and Strategic Zoning

This estate shares the same historical planning restrictions that once governed "La Zagaleta" before it became one of the most exclusive residential enclaves in the world. Currently, the zoning allows for a wide variety of high-impact uses including the construction of luxury hotels, rural tourism complexes, sports facilities, schools, universities, hospitals, and clinics. It is also suitable for agricultural ventures, cattle farming, or eco-camping. With numerous ruins scattered across the estate ready for rebuilding, the potential for expansion is immense. The infrastructure is already robust, featuring 5 kilometers of internal roads, mains electricity, a private well, and access to 40,000 cubic meters of free river water per year.

Expansion Opportunities in Estepona

For those looking to extend their domain, Grupo Ibercosta offers the possibility of purchasing two adjacent plots. The first, known as "The Eagle’s Nest," comprises 95,000 square meters of protected land for an additional €995,000. The second, "The Amphitheatre," covers 72,000 square meters and is available for €700,000. Combined, these plots offer a level of control and privacy that is unparalleled in the Estepona region. This is more than just a property; it is a legacy estate in Southern Spain, offering water security, modern amenities like digital TV and air conditioning, and a future of limitless possibilities.
