Private gated estate on the A-397 Ronda road, 10 min above San Pedro Alcantara, set 300–450 m high among cork-oak and pine. Six numbered gates share 24 h security, CCTV and buried utilities. Originating as an old hunting reserve in the late 1980s, it is now valued for ultra-low density, sweeping sea and sunset vistas, reliable mains services, fibre optic internet and a discreet, mainly northern-European resident mix.
Housing stock is almost exclusively detached villas on 2 000–4 000 m² plots; no apartments lie within the gates. Styles range from rustic Andalusian cortijo to cutting-edge glass architecture completed after 2015. Roughly 400 homes are spread across six sectors: higher gates offer broader sea views, mid-level ones larger undeveloped lots. Current builds emphasise energy efficiency, home automation and indoor–outdoor living.
