This four-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment is situated in the Valgrande development in Sotogrande Alto, Cádiz, and is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,425,000. The residence has a registered constructed area of 445.66 m², including the terrace, and was completed in 2006. The building contains only three apartments in total. The property includes two private parking spaces, a storage room, and lift access from the garage. Valgrande is a gated community of approximately 11 hectares with landscaped gardens, three outdoor swimming pools, a heated indoor pool and spa, a gym, and padel courts, located roughly 1.6 km from Valderrama Golf Club.
Within Sotogrande and its immediate surroundings, the market splits between new-build apartment projects and established resale properties in gated communities. New developments such as Altara Alcaidesa (from €341,000), Atria in Sotogrande (from €423,000) and Adel San Roque (from €549,000) offer modern construction, contemporary specifications and communal facilities at price points well below this residence. This property occupies a different segment: it is an existing home from 2006, but one with 445.66 m² of constructed area, four en-suite bedrooms and a position inside Valgrande, a community of roughly 11 hectares with five hectares of gardens, three outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool with spa, gym and padel courts. The comparison is therefore not per square metre of new build, but between density profiles: new projects in the area typically deliver two- and three-bedroom apartments of 90–140 m² in buildings with dozens of units, whereas this building holds three apartments in total. The €1,425,000 asking price positions the property against resale villas in Sotogrande Alto as much as against apartments, the selling proposition being villa-scale accommodation without standalone maintenance obligations. Geographically, the location also differs from the newer projects in La Alcaidesa: Sotogrande Alto sits inland among the golf courses at 65 m elevation, 4.7 km from the beach, while several new-build developments sit closer to the coast. Buyers weighing this property against new builds are effectively choosing between space, established grounds and low building density on one side, and newer construction, lower entry price and coastal proximity on the other.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Sotogrande Alto is a residential area in the municipality of San Roque, in the province of Cádiz, at approximately 65 metres above sea level. The location sits within one of the main golf enclaves of the western Costa del Sol, with Valderrama Golf Club 1.6 km away as the crow flies and two further courses within 1.8 km. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.7 km away in a straight line over flat terrain.
The residence offers a single-level layout with an entrance hall, separate kitchen with laundry and pantry, living and dining areas, and four bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom and dressing area. The terrace allows outdoor dining and relaxation overlooking the gardens. Within the community, residents have access to three outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, spa facilities, a gym, and padel courts, supported by 24-hour gated security and concierge services.
This is an existing home completed in 2006, currently key-ready and described as being in excellent condition. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule involved; the property can be transferred upon completion of the standard purchase process. Any dates relating to handover depend on the transaction itself rather than on a building programme.
The property is an apartment within a community, not a detached villa, and has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. There is no private garden; outdoor space consists of a covered terrace. The immediate surroundings offer a limited number of amenities within 2 km: two restaurants, one café, one pharmacy and two dentists, meaning daily shopping and services require short journeys by car.
This residence fits a buyer seeking villa-scale space in a managed, secure apartment setting. A household wanting four en-suite bedrooms, extensive interior volume and a large terrace, without the maintenance obligations of a standalone property, matches the core proposition. It also suits buyers who place value on community facilities, heated indoor pool, spa, gym, padel, as part of everyday life rather than as external memberships. Families with school-age children form a second group: Sotogrande International School operates two campuses within about 3 km. Golf and polo players benefit from the concentration of courses and the polo club in the immediate area. Buyers who need to be within short reach of an airport may weigh the 14 km straight-line distance to Gibraltar Airport against the approximately 85 km to Malaga-Costa del Sol, which determines flight options for international travel. The property is less obvious for buyers seeking walkable urban life, beachfront proximity, or a lock-up unit in a higher-density complex, the nearest beach is 4.7 km away as the crow flies, and the immediate area is residential with limited amenities within 2 km. Buyers focused primarily on rental yield should also note that this segment of the market trades on space, privacy and community rather than on occupancy-driven returns.
The residence was completed in 2006 and is presented in excellent condition. The specification, as listed, includes air conditioning for both hot and cold operation, underfloor heating with underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a fireplace in the living area, a combination that covers climate control across seasons. Interior features include fitted wardrobes, a covered terrace, private terrace space, WiFi capability and lift access. The layout comprises an entrance hall, living and dining rooms, a separate kitchen with adjoining laundry room and pantry, and four bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and dressing area. One bedroom is currently arranged as a chill-out and music room, which illustrates the flexibility of the floor plan; it can be returned to bedroom use without structural work. The terrace is substantial and oriented towards the gardens, with images showing a covered dining and lounge area. Practical infrastructure includes two private parking spaces, a large storage room, and lift access from garage level to the apartment floor. Guest parking with direct access to the apartment simplifies deliveries and unloading. The building itself contains only three apartments, which affects both privacy and the character of shared spaces. Communal facilities are extensive: three outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool with jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath, a gym, padel courts, golf putting greens, and walking paths through the gardens, with 24-hour security, controlled access, concierge and on-site maintenance.
The property is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €1,425,000. This is not a price-list project, so there is no variation by unit type or orientation. The asking price reflects the built area of 445.66 m² including terrace, four en-suite bedrooms, two parking spaces, a storage room, and access to the community facilities of Valgrande. For comparison, new-build apartments elsewhere in Sotogrande currently start from roughly €341,000, though those projects differ in size, specification and location. Availability depends on the seller's position; the residence is key-ready and completed in 2006, so no waiting period for construction applies.
Daily life at this residence is shaped by the character of Sotogrande Alto: a low-density, green residential area organised around golf courses and gated communities rather than around town-centre facilities. Mornings can begin with a walk through the approximately five hectares of landscaped gardens within Valgrande, a swim in one of the three outdoor pools, or a session in the gym. The terrace, given the size of the property, functions as an outdoor room for much of the year thanks to the regional climate, with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C. Errands are typically done by car. The nearest pharmacy is within 2 km, while broader shopping is available in Sotogrande port and the surrounding towns of San Roque, Algeciras (20 km straight-line) and Marbella (46 km straight-line). The area is quiet by nature. With 32 public transport stops on seven lines in the wider area, some connections exist, but the layout of the region makes a car the practical mode of transport for most residents. For households with children, Sotogrande International School has two campuses at 2.5 km and 3.1 km respectively. The single-level layout of the apartment, combined with lift access from the garage and direct guest parking near the entrance, reduces the practical frictions of daily arrivals, deliveries and unloading. Evenings and weekends revolve around the polo season at Santa María Polo Club (3.0 km), golf, and the marina environment of Puerto de Sotogrande (3.9 km), where dining and social life concentrate.
Sotogrande Alto sits at the western end of the Costa del Sol, in Cádiz province near the border with Málaga province. The area is characterised by low-rise residential development set among golf courses, with Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup, 1.6 km away, San Roque New Course at 1.7 km and La Cañada at 1.8 km, all measured in straight-line distance. Daily amenities close to the property are limited: two restaurants, a café, a pharmacy and two dentists within 2 km. This means residents typically drive for groceries and services, with Puerto de Sotogrande (3.9 km) and the towns of San Roque and Algeciras (20 km) providing the nearest fuller offering. Sports facilities beyond golf include Santa María Polo Club at 3.0 km, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.3 km and a public pool at 4.9 km. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is 0.9 km away. The setting is quiet year-round, with population density concentrated in the port and beach areas rather than in the Alto zone. Public transport exists, seven lines and 32 stops in the surrounding area, but service frequency suits occasional use rather than daily commuting.
The map shows the property's position in Sotogrande Alto, with the golf courses of Valderrama, San Roque and La Cañada immediately to the south and east, the coast at 4.7 km, and Gibraltar visible roughly 14 km to the south-west across the bay. All distances shown are straight-line; road distances are longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, Sotogrande occupies the westernmost position, in Cádiz province rather than Málaga. The profile of the area differs from the Marbella, Estepona corridor: density is lower, development is governed by large plots and golf estates, and the social calendar centres on golf, polo and sailing rather than on nightlife and beach clubs. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, lies 46 km away in a straight line; Algeciras, at 20 km, is the nearest large town and industrial port. This position makes Sotogrande quieter than the central Costa del Sol while retaining motorway access to both provinces.
By car, the property connects to the A-7 coastal motorway, placing Algeciras (20 km straight-line) and Marbella (46 km straight-line) within practical driving range. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km away as the crow flies, offering a limited network of mainly UK routes; Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport, at roughly 85 km straight-line, provides the broadest selection of international flights, with Jerez de la Frontera (86 km) as a third option. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.7 km in a straight line, with a gradient of 1.4%, effectively flat terrain between the property and the coast, though the actual road distance is longer. Puerto de Sotogrande, at 3.9 km, functions as the local hub for dining, marina life and services. Within the immediate 2 km radius, amenities consist of two restaurants, one café, one pharmacy and two dentists. A car is therefore the practical baseline for daily life; the 32 public transport stops in the area serve mainly the connections between Sotogrande, San Roque, La Línea and Algeciras.

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, in line with the mild Mediterranean conditions of the western Costa del Sol and Campo de Gibraltar. The swimming season, the period with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts around five months, which frames how outdoor living on the terrace and use of the community pools is distributed across the year: the heated indoor pool and spa extend this window beyond the natural season. The property sits at 65 metres above sea level on terrain with a 1.4% gradient towards the sea, meaning flat, easy walking conditions within the neighbourhood. The setting is green rather than arid: the golf courses and the five hectares of landscaped gardens within Valgrande define the immediate landscape. Local public holidays number 32 per year, reflecting both national and Andalusian observances plus municipal fiestas in San Roque, a detail that affects shop opening hours and the rhythm of local life, particularly in summer.

Beach life requires a short drive: Playa de La Alcaidesa, the nearest beach, is 4.7 km away in a straight line. The coastline between Sotogrande and Alcaidesa consists of long, open sandy beaches with dunes, less built-up than the beachfronts further east. Recreation in this area is instead dominated by sport. Three golf courses lie within 1.8 km: Valderrama (1.6 km), San Roque New Course (1.7 km) and La Cañada (1.8 km), the latter being a public-access option. Santa María Polo Club, at 3.0 km, hosts international tournament play in summer, one of the seasonal anchors of the Sotogrande social calendar. Within Valgrande itself, residents use three outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, gym and padel courts. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande (3.9 km) adds sailing and water-sport options. Walking and running take place on the community's paths and on the trails surrounding the golf courses, at an elevation of 65 m on flat terrain.
