A contemporary four-bedroom detached villa is under construction in Sotogrande Alto, in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz. The property stands on a 1,545 m² plot framed by mature cork oaks, with 717 m² of living space arranged over two levels, six bathrooms, a private pool and a south orientation. Completion is indicatively scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The asking price is fixed at €3,200,000. The location sits within an established residential estate at 65 metres above sea level, roughly 1.6 km as the crow flies from Valderrama Golf Club and about 14 km straight-line from Gibraltar Airport.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Sotogrande Alto forms the elevated, inland part of the Sotogrande estate, characterised by quiet residential streets and golf courses rather than beachfront activity. Three golf clubs lie within 1.8 km as the crow flies, including Valderrama. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.7 km away in a straight line, and Puerto de Sotogrande marina 3.9 km.
The villa provides four bedrooms and six bathrooms across 717 m², with en-suite facilities throughout and a separate guest cloakroom. A principal suite occupies the upper floor alongside a further bedroom and a study space. Outside, a central swimming pool is flanked by a private garden and an independent annex building with its own bedroom and bathroom.
The villa is a new-build project currently under construction, with delivery indicatively planned for the first quarter of 2027. The design includes underfloor heating, air conditioning and modern sustainable energy solutions. As with all completion dates in Spain, the stated timeline remains indicative and may shift during the build phase.
The property offers no sea view; documented views cover garden, pool and street. It is not a frontline-beach residence, with the coast roughly 4.7 km away straight-line. No on-site supermarket or medical centre is recorded within walking distance, and daily life here depends on private transport rather than the seven public transport lines serving the wider area.

The profile suits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the area permanently benefits from three international school campuses within roughly 3 km straight-line, Sotogrande International School San Roque Campus at 2.5 km and the main campus at 3.1 km, combined with four bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms and a study. Buyers seeking a golf-base residence will note Valderrama, San Roque New Course and La Cañada within 1.8 km. Households that regularly host guests can use the ground-floor en-suite bedrooms and the poolside annex independently. Remote workers gain a dedicated study plus the option of converting the annex into an office. Frequent travellers value Gibraltar Airport at approximately 14 km straight-line, with Málaga-Costa del Sol around 85 km as an alternative. The property fits less well for buyers wanting walkable beach access, a sea view, or a lively year-round town centre within walking distance; the setting is residential and car-dependent, and the 2027 delivery date requires a buyer comfortable purchasing before completion.
The specification list points to a fully climate-controlled home: underfloor heating throughout alongside ducted air conditioning, which is the standard pairing for comfort across Andalusian seasons. As a new-build project, the developer states that modern sustainable energy solutions and current building technologies will be incorporated, intended to improve efficiency and long-term performance; the exact systems and their certification should be confirmed in the purchase documentation. All four bedrooms carry en-suite or adjacent bathrooms, six in total, which reduces morning congestion in a full household. The architectural programme shows attention to circulation and light: a double-height entrance hall, open-plan living and dining, and a kitchen island arrangement visible in the project imagery. Interior finishes shown include contemporary joinery, a fireplace in the living room and large glazing opening onto the garden and pool terrace. Externally, the centrally positioned pool anchors the garden layout, with the independent annex adding a bedroom and bathroom in a separate structure. Private parking is included. As construction is still in progress, finishes remain developer-confirmed rather than inspected on site; buyers should verify material samples, appliance brands and warranty terms contractually.
This is a single existing-home listing with a fixed asking price of €3,200,000, not a price-list development, so the amount does not function as a from-price. The price reflects a substantial 717 m² villa on a 1,545 m² plot with six bathrooms, a private pool, an annex building, private parking and a full climate-control installation including underfloor heating. Within Sotogrande's market, this positions the property in the upper segment: comparable new-build projects in the same estate start from roughly €549,000 for apartments and from around €1,109,000 for higher-specification homes. Availability follows the construction timeline, with completion indicatively in the first quarter of 2027, meaning the buyer acquires a property off-plan rather than a finished home.
Daily life at this villa is shaped by the rhythm of Sotogrande Alto: quiet, leafy and organised around golf, outdoor living and short car journeys. The house itself is laid out for a household that separates reception and private zones. A double-height entrance hall opens the ground floor, where open-plan living and dining areas connect to the kitchen, with two en-suite double bedrooms, a guest cloakroom and a family room placed on the same level. This arrangement suits households with guests or older children who value ground-floor independence. The upper floor holds the principal suite, a further bedroom and bathroom, and a study space suitable for remote work. The plot, at 1,545 m² and planted with mature cork oaks, gives separation from neighbouring properties; the south orientation supports afternoon and evening sun on the pool terrace. The independent building beside the pool can function as a gym, office or guest annexe, adding flexible capacity beyond the four bedrooms. Practically, residents drive for most errands: two restaurants, a pharmacy, a café and two dentists are recorded within 2 km, while broader shopping lies in Sotogrande port or along the coast road. Beach trips involve a short drive to La Alcaidesa. Evenings tend to be spent at home or at nearby golf and polo facilities, not in a busy town centre, which reflects the character of the area rather than any shortcoming.
Sotogrande Alto sits at about 65 metres above sea level on gently rolling terrain, the gradient to the beach measures a flat 1.4%, so cycling and walking within the estate are undemanding, though distances to the coast make the car the practical mode. Amenities within 2 km are modest but present: two restaurants, one café, one pharmacy and two dentists, covering basic daily needs without leaving the estate. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 3.9 km away as the crow flies, concentrates waterside restaurants, shops and moorings, functioning as the social centre of the wider estate. Sports infrastructure is unusually dense: three golf courses within 1.8 km, Santa María Polo Club at 3 km, a municipal sports complex at 2.3 km and a public swimming pool at 4.9 km. Public transport exists, seven lines and 32 stops serve the area, but frequency is oriented towards local demand, and most residents rely on private vehicles. The nearest larger towns are Algeciras at 20 km straight-line and Marbella at 46 km, both reachable for shopping, hospitals and services beyond what the estate itself provides.
The map shows the villa in its wooded Sotogrande Alto setting, roughly equidistant between three golf courses and a short drive from the Mediterranean. Puerto de Sotogrande, La Alcaidesa beach and the international schools all fall within a five-kilometre radius, while Gibraltar's coastline lies clearly visible to the south-east across the bay.

Sotogrande occupies the westernmost edge of the Costa del Sol, at the border with Cádiz province, closer to Gibraltar and Algeciras than to Marbella (46 km straight-line). The Alto district is the estate's inland, elevated residential quarter, removed from the port and the beaches but embedded in its golf landscape. Within the region's property market it functions as a discreet, low-density alternative to the Marbella, Estepona corridor, with larger plots and a reputation built on golf and polo rather than nightlife.
The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa lies 4.7 km away in a straight line, so a car journey of under ten minutes is realistic. Puerto de Sotogrande marina is closer at 3.9 km straight-line. Airport access is a distinguishing feature of this location: Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km as the crow flies, among the shortest airport distances on the entire Andalusian coast, while Málaga-Costa del Sol sits roughly 85 km straight-line to the east, with Alicante-Elche a distant 476 km. Road access runs via the A-7 and AP-7 coastal corridors, connecting Algeciras (20 km straight-line), Marbella (46 km) and Jerez de la Frontera (86 km). An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles sits 0.9 km away. As throughout, straight-line distances understate road distances, and buyers should expect actual driving times to be somewhat longer than the map suggests.

The climate data points to a temperate Mediterranean regime: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of five months during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C, typically late May through October. At 65 metres elevation on flat terrain, the villa avoids both coastal humidity pooling and steep hillside access, a practical balance for year-round residence. The mature cork oaks on the plot are characteristic of the surrounding countryside, where established woodland separates properties and moderates summer heat. The south orientation of the house maximises solar gain in winter, when daytime temperatures remain mild, while the pool area functions as the outdoor heart of the property during the long warm season. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, keeping the summer months dry and reliable for outdoor living.

Recreation in this corner of Cádiz is defined less by beaches and more by sport infrastructure, though the coast remains close at hand. Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.7 km straight-line, is a long open beach backed by the coast road. Golf is the dominant draw: Club de Golf Valderrama, former host of the Ryder Cup, lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with San Roque New Course at 1.7 km and La Cañada at 1.8 km, giving residents three courses effectively on the doorstep. Santa María Polo Club, 3 km away, hosts high-goal tournaments each summer. For conventional sport, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte sits 2.3 km from the villa and a public swimming pool 4.9 km. Sailing and mooring options centre on Puerto de Sotogrande. This density of golf, polo and marine leisure within a five-kilometre radius is unusual even by Costa del Sol standards.

Within Sotogrande's own supply, this villa occupies the top of the price range. Comparable new-build projects in the estate start from €549,000, Adel San Roque and Serenity Golf Homes, both apartment-style offerings, while Sphere enters at €1,109,000 for higher-specification homes. Against those figures, the €3,200,000 fixed asking price buys substantially more: 717 m² of built area, a 1,545 m² private plot, six bathrooms and a detached layout with an annex building, rather than communal-living formats. Viewed regionally, Sotogrande Alto competes with the upper Marbella and Benahavís markets, where villas of this scale typically command comparable or higher figures, but with a different character: quieter, golf-centred and lower-density, without Marbella's restaurant and nightlife infrastructure. The location also shifts the practical geography, Gibraltar Airport at roughly 14 km straight-line shortens UK-linked travel considerably compared with Marbella, which relies on Málaga Airport about 85 km from here. Buyers weighing this villa against alternatives should note the trade-off explicitly: the western Costa del Sol's busiest commercial and social life centres 45–60 km east, whilst the immediate surroundings offer golf, polo, schools and marina life within a tight radius. Plot sizes in Sotogrande Alto, supported by the mature cork-oak woodland typical of the estate, tend to exceed those of newer developments further east, which is a measurable differentiator rather than a marketing claim. The 2027 delivery also distinguishes it from the comparables: it is a single off-plan villa, so the buyer carries construction-timeline risk in exchange for a fixed price on a completed specification.
