This four-bedroom, four-bathroom townhouse is located in the Almenara area of Sotogrande Alto, in the province of Cádiz. The property has a built area of 320 m² on a 90 m² plot and sits in a frontline golf position with views over the golf course, countryside and mountains. The house forms part of a gated community with 24-hour security and includes a private garage, several terraces and a guest apartment. The asking price is fixed at €850,000. The property was completed in 1970 and is offered in key-ready condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The townhouse stands in Sotogrande Alto, an established residential area in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz. It lies directly on the golf course, with Valderrama Golf Club 1.6 km away as the crow flies and La Cañada 1.8 km. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.7 km in a straight line, while Puerto de Sotogrande marina is 3.9 km distant.
The house offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a guest toilet and a separate guest apartment across 320 m² of built space. Living areas include a living room with fireplace, a dining room and an office. The kitchen is fitted and equipped, and there is a utility and laundry room. Fitted wardrobes, underfloor heating, air conditioning and gas heating are present throughout.
This is an existing home, originally completed in 1970, and is available in key-ready condition. The property is described as being in excellent condition and can optionally be purchased furnished. There is no construction phase or delivery waiting period; purchase and occupation can follow the standard notarial process once the sale completes.
The plot is 90 m², which limits private outdoor space to terraces, a patio and a balcony rather than a large garden. The house dates from 1970 and is not a new build. Distances to the beach and marina require a short drive. No information is available regarding a private swimming pool on the plot; pool views refer to communal facilities within the urbanisation.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the area for the international schools would find four bedrooms, a guest apartment and a study, with Sotogrande International School within roughly 2.5 km. Golf players place Valderrama, San Roque New Course and La Cañada all within about 2 km, making the house a practical base for regular play across three courses. Buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home benefit from the gated community with 24-hour security, meaning the property can stand empty between visits with less concern than in an open urbanisation. Households that regularly receive guests can use the separate guest apartment independently of the main bedrooms. Those working remotely have a dedicated office and fibre optic connectivity. The property is less obviously suited to buyers prioritising walking access to the beach or the marina; at 4.7 km and 3.9 km straight-line respectively, both require a car. Nor does it suit buyers wanting a large private garden on an individual plot, given the 90 m² plot size and the terrace-based outdoor layout. It also does not suit buyers specifically seeking new construction, as the house was completed in 1970. Owners of electric vehicles, by contrast, will find fast charging under 1 km away.
The house is finished to the standard of a well-maintained upper-end Sotogrande property. Floors are marble throughout, which is consistent with the property's era and its position within the original Almenara urbanisation. Climate control is layered: underfloor heating runs across the house, complemented by gas central heating, air conditioning and a fireplace in the living room, giving year-round temperature control for both winter months and the height of summer. The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped with an open-plan layout and a separate utility room and laundry room. Bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. Glazing runs in the form of glass doors connects the interior with the terraces and admits substantial natural light. Technical installations include satellite television, high-speed fibre optic internet, Wi-Fi coverage and an automatic irrigation system for the garden areas. The property is described as being in excellent condition and is offered fully furnished, with furniture optionally included in the purchase, which reduces the practical work involved in moving in. As with any property from 1970, buyers typically commission a technical survey to independently verify the condition of installations such as wiring, plumbing and the underfloor heating system; this is standard practice for resale homes in Spain and provides documentation for negotiation and planning. A private garage is included on the plot. Pets are permitted within the community, subject to the normal community rules. The overall picture is a house that has been maintained and updated rather than a project requiring renovation, though the level of any refurbishment over the years is best verified during viewing.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €850,000. This is an existing home, so the price applies to the specific house rather than to a range of units in a development. The asking price reflects the built area of 320 m², the four-bedroom layout with four bathrooms and guest apartment, and the frontline golf position within a gated community. For comparison, new-build apartments and townhouses in the wider Sotogrande area currently start from approximately €341,000 at Altara Alcaidesa and from €423,000 at Atria, while Adel San Roque starts from €549,000; those are from-prices for off-plan or new construction and are not directly comparable to a completed resale property. Furniture is optionally negotiable. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life in this property revolves around the indoor-outdoor layout typical of Sotogrande townhouses. The ground floor contains the main living room with its fireplace, a separate dining room and an open-plan kitchen with utility and laundry rooms behind it. A patio at ground level brings light into the interior and serves as a sheltered spot for morning coffee. Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged across the floors, with two en-suite bathrooms, a family bathroom and a guest toilet, plus a self-contained guest apartment that can accommodate visitors or independent use. The office room allows for working from home, supported by high-speed fibre optic internet. Outdoors, the property has a private terrace with covered and uncovered sections, a barbecue area and a balcony, with the south-west orientation bringing afternoon and evening sun to these spaces. Views extend over the golf course, the garden areas, the communal pool and the surrounding countryside toward the mountains. The gated community provides 24-hour security and a video entrance system, which means the house can be left unoccupied for extended periods with a degree of supervision. Practical errands are manageable on foot or by short drive: within 2 km there are two restaurants, a pharmacy, a café and two dentists. The IONITY fast-charging station 0.9 km away serves electric vehicles. For families, Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus is 2.5 km away as the crow flies. The rhythm of the area is quiet and residential, shaped by the golf calendar and the seasonal activity around the polo club and the marina.
Sotogrande Alto forms the elevated, inland part of the Sotogrande estate, characterised by golf courses, low-rise residential urbanisations and tree-lined roads. The immediate surroundings are quiet, particularly outside the summer months, when activity shifts toward the coast. Within 2 km of the property there are two restaurants, one café, one pharmacy and two dentists, which covers basic daily needs, though larger shopping is done at the Sotogrande commercial centre or in San Roque and Algeciras. The area sits at about 65 m above sea level with a gentle average gradient of 1.4% toward the sea, meaning the terrain is effectively flat for cycling and walking within the estate. Public transport is limited but present, with 7 lines and 32 stops recorded in the area; in practice, most residents rely on a car. The position relative to golf is the defining feature: three courses lie within 2 km, and the Santa María Polo Club is 3 km away. The nearest beach is 4.7 km away in a straight line at Playa de La Alcaidesa, an open sandy beach backed by the La Alcaidesa development. Algeciras, with around 122,000 inhabitants and full urban services, is 20 km away as the crow flies, while Marbella lies 46 km east along the coast.
The map shows the property's position in Sotogrande Alto, directly on the golf course.

Sotogrande Alto occupies the northern, elevated section of the Sotogrande estate, which itself sits at the western end of the Costa del Sol on the Cádiz side of the provincial border with Málaga. Algeciras, 20 km west, is the working port city of the Campo de Gibraltar. Marbella lies 46 km east, roughly forty minutes by car along the coast road. Jerez de la Frontera is about 86 km away inland. The location is therefore quieter and more residential than the central Costa del Sol, closer in character to a country-club estate than to a resort town.
The property is reachable by car via the A-7 and the regional road network that connects Sotogrande with the Costa del Sol to the east and the Campo de Gibraltar to the west. Gibraltar Airport is the closest air link at approximately 14 km in a straight line, offering a limited but useful range of UK flights; Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 85 km away as the crow flies and carries the widest selection of European routes. Jerez de la Frontera airport region lies about 86 km distant by air. Within the immediate area, the IONITY Sotogrande fast-charging station for electric vehicles is 0.9 km away, which is relevant for EV owners. Distances to key destinations, measured in straight lines: Playa de La Alcaidesa beach 4.7 km, Puerto de Sotogrande marina 3.9 km, Valderrama Golf 1.6 km, and the international school campus 2.5 km. Actual road distances are longer than straight-line figures. Public transport exists with 32 stops across 7 lines, but service frequency in residential Sotogrande Alto is limited and a car is the practical mode of transport for most daily trips.

The climate in this part of Cádiz is Mediterranean with Atlantic influence, giving an average annual temperature of 18.5 °C. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20 °C or above, roughly May through September. At 65 m elevation the property sits slightly above the coastal strip, which softens summer heat somewhat compared with the waterfront while retaining sea views toward the horizon on clear days. The terrain slopes at an average of 1.4% toward the coast, effectively flat, so walking and cycling within the estate involve no significant climbs. The frontline golf setting means the outlook is green rather than built-up: fairways, cork oak trees typical of the area and the hills further inland frame the view, with mountains visible in the distance. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, and summers are dry, which keeps the golf season and outdoor living season long. The south-west orientation of the house places the terraces in the sun through the afternoon and evening, warm in summer and sheltered in the cooler months.

The nearest beach is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.7 km away in a straight line, a long open sandy beach that stretches toward Gibraltar and is backed by a beachfront promenade with chiringuitos in the season. Torreguadiaro beach near the marina is a short drive further. Puerto de Sotogrande, at 3.9 km, is a working marina with a quay-side concentration of restaurants, bars and water-based activity, and it serves as the social hub of the estate. Golf is the principal recreation at the doorstep: Club de Golf Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup, lies 1.6 km away, with the San Roque New Course at 1.7 km and Club de Golf La Cañada at 1.8 km, all within a five-minute drive. Santa María Polo Club, 3.0 km away, hosts international polo tournaments in summer. Other sports facilities include Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.3 km and the Piscina Loma del Rey swimming pool at 4.9 km. The combination of three golf courses, a polo club and the marina within a five-kilometre radius defines the recreational profile of the area.

Within the Sotogrande market, this property occupies a distinct segment compared with current new-build offerings. Altara Alcaidesa, further along the coast toward La Alcaidesa, starts from approximately €341,000 for new apartments, while Atria in Sotogrande starts from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from around €549,000. These are off-plan or newly completed units with modern specifications but generally smaller footprints and, in most cases, positions on new urbanisations rather than established frontline golf plots. This townhouse, at €850,000 with a fixed asking price, offers instead what new build in this location cannot easily replicate: a 320 m² built area, a separate guest apartment, four bathrooms and a mature setting directly on the golf course within one of Sotogrande's original gated communities. Measured per square metre of built space, the asking price works out at roughly €2,650/m², which is in line with established resale stock in Sotogrande Alto and below typical pricing in central Marbella, 46 km east. Geographically, the position trades the beach immediacy of La Alcaidesa for the quiet, green environment of the Alto, with the beach at 4.7 km. Access-wise, Gibraltar Airport at roughly 14 km straight-line is closer than any Marbella property has to its airport, which matters for buyers travelling from the United Kingdom. Against Algeciras, 20 km west, Sotogrande Alto commands a clear premium justified by the estate's infrastructure: golf, polo, the marina and the international schools. Buyers comparing options should weigh the age of a 1970 property, and the associated survey considerations, against the space, plot position and maturity of the setting that newer, smaller units do not provide.
