North-west Madrid is the reference area for buyers seeking a luxury detached home close to the city: villas with grounds, a pool and privacy, just minutes from the centre. At Horlux we give you access to property in the area, much of it off-market.
The north-west areas
Pozuelo de Alarcón and Aravaca lead demand for prime detached homes, with established gated communities such as Somosaguas, Monteclaro and La Finca. These areas are prized for their calm, their security, the quality of their plots and the proximity of Madrid's best international schools.
What you will find for sale
The area is dominated by detached villas with grounds, garden and pool, both newly built and classic homes to update. It is the ideal product for families seeking space, outdoor living and privacy without giving up proximity to Madrid. For reasons of discretion, we present detached homes by area rather than by exact address.
Why buy with Horlux
Horlux is a boutique firm, not a traditional agency: selective, discreet and well connected, with direct access to owners and opportunities that never reach the portals. We guide the buyer with honest information and judgement, and with complete confidentiality.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Pozuelo, Aravaca and the gated estates?
Aravaca belongs to the city of Madrid and offers the best connection to the centre. Pozuelo de Alarcón is its own municipality, with larger plots and a highly regarded choice of schools. Gated estates such as La Finca, Somosaguas and Monteclaro add perimeter security and privacy, and operate as a market of their own within the north west.
What should a buyer moving from an apartment look at?
The real cost of running the house (grounds, pool, climate control, security), the condition of the services and the roof, the orientation, and above all the relationship between built area and plot size. A large house on a small plot ages worse in value terms than the other way round.
Why do you not publish the exact address of the houses?
Out of respect for the owners' privacy. With a detached home, the address identifies the family living there. We work by area and give the exact location to qualified buyers at the viewing.
Is it new build or resale?
Both coexist: contemporary villa developments and resale of established houses, often on larger plots than are built today. Each suits a different buyer and we set that out openly.
How long does a house in this area take to buy or sell?
It is a slower market than the urban apartment market, with fewer buyers for each house and more considered decisions. That is precisely why access to unlisted product matters more here than in the city centre.
