This semi-detached house stands in the Sotogolf urbanisation within Sotogrande Alto, in the province of Cádiz. Completed in 2003, the property offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 445 m² of living space on a plot of 1,478 m². The asking price is fixed at €1,249,000. The house includes a private pool and garden, a basement with space for four cars, marble flooring, central heating and air conditioning. Golf courses, international schools and the marina of Sotogrande are all within a short distance, and Gibraltar Airport lies roughly 14 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in Sotogrande Alto, a residential area in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz. Three golf courses lie within 1.8 km as the crow flies, including Club de Golf Valderrama at 1.6 km. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.7 km away in a straight line, while Puerto de Sotogrande marina is 3.9 km distant. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km away by direct distance.
The house provides five bedrooms and four bathrooms across two storeys plus a loft, suiting larger households or households needing guest and study space. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, a dressing room and a terrace. A south and east orientation, covered terraces and a private pool with garden support outdoor living. A utility room, storage room and internal access to a four-car basement add practical capacity.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2003 and the property is key-ready, described as being in excellent condition. Any purchase concerns an occupied or completed resale asset rather than an off-plan commitment, so no construction-phase risk or delivery schedule applies. Completion dates for viewings and transfer are arranged through the normal resale process.
The property is a semi-detached house, not a detached villa, which affects privacy relative to free-standing homes. It was built in 2003, so installations pre-date current new-build standards. Daily amenities within 2 km are limited: two restaurants, one pharmacy, one café and two dentists, meaning a car is needed for most shopping. The beach is 4.7 km away, and Malaga Airport is roughly 85 km distant by direct line.

This property fits households that need substantial space and prefer an established, move-in-ready home over a new-build waiting period. A family with children attending Sotogrande International School, the San Roque campus 2.5 km away and the main school 3.1 km away, would find the school run short and the secure urbanisation a settled environment. Golf players are another obvious match: Valderrama, the San Roque New Course and La Cañada all lie within 1.8 km as the crow flies. Buyers seeking a full-year residence benefit from central heating by radiators, a fireplace and hot/cold air conditioning, which cover the cooler Andalusian winter months. The four-car basement suits households with multiple vehicles, a golf buggy or storage needs. It is less suitable for buyers wanting walkable urban facilities on the doorstep: the immediate area offers only a handful of restaurants and services, so daily errands require driving. Nor does it suit those wanting a sea view or direct beach access, since the coastline is 4.7 km away in a straight line. Buyers focused exclusively on new-build specifications and warranties should also note the 2003 construction date. In short, the property addresses space, privacy within a gated setting, golf proximity and family capacity, not urban convenience or frontline coastal living.
The house dates from 2003 and is presented in excellent condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring throughout, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a master suite with en suite bathroom and dressing room. Photographs show contemporary bathrooms with blue tiling and an outdoor living area furnished in rattan, indicating a maintained and updated presentation rather than a dated interior. Climate systems are comprehensive for a home of this age: central heating by radiators, a fireplace and cold/hot air conditioning cover both seasons. The south and east orientation supports passive solar gain in winter while the covered terrace offers shade in summer. The property stands two storeys tall with a loft and a basement level. The basement accommodates four cars with internal access, a practical feature for security and convenience in rain or heat. Outside, the private pool and garden are bordered by a natural cork oak fence, which contributes both privacy and a native landscape character typical of the Sotogrande area. As with any resale built in the early 2000s, buyers should verify the current state of installations, boiler, electrics, pool equipment, through an independent technical survey during the purchase process. The community facilities of Sotogolf include a communal pool and a paddle tennis court, supplementing what the private plot provides. Overall, the specification is solid for its era, with generous space standards and systems that support year-round occupation rather than seasonal use only.
The asking price is fixed at €1,249,000 for this existing, key-ready home. Unlike new-build developments in the area, which publish from-prices (comparable projects in Sotogrande start from roughly €341,000 to €549,000), this figure applies to one specific completed property with 445 m² of living space, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private pool and a four-car basement on a 1,478 m² plot. The house was completed in 2003 and is available for viewing and purchase through the standard resale process. Price and availability are confirmed through the estate agent at the time of enquiry.
Sotogolf is a low-density, security-controlled urbanisation on the elevated western side of Sotogrande, characterised by mature gardens, golf frontage and quiet streets. Daily life here revolves around the house and its grounds rather than around urban bustle. The 1,478 m² plot holds a private pool and garden bordered by a natural cork oak fence, which gives the outdoor space a green, enclosed character. With a south and east orientation, the terraces receive morning and midday sun, making breakfast outdoors realistic for much of the year. Inside, the layout spreads over two floors plus a loft, with the master bedroom opening onto a large terrace with panoramic and mountain views. The basement, accessible from inside the house, fits four cars, an unusually generous provision that removes parking from the list of daily concerns. Amenities within walking or short driving distance are modest: two restaurants, a café, a pharmacy and two dentists within 2 km. Full shopping, dining and services concentrate around Sotogrande port and the commercial areas beyond, all reachable by car in minutes. The rhythm of the area is seasonal: quiet in winter, active in summer around the golf courses, the polo club and the beach clubs. For residents, this means a settled, residential base rather than a resort-style hub, one where the pool, garden and terraces carry much of the day-to-day living, with the coast and facilities a short drive away.
Life in Sotogrande Alto is defined by green space and low density rather than by urban intensity. The area sits at 65 m above sea level on gently rolling terrain; the gradient to the beach is about 1.4%, effectively flat, which makes walking and cycling in the vicinity straightforward. Within 2 km there are two restaurants, a café, a pharmacy and two dentists, enough for occasional needs but not for a full weekly shop, which residents typically do at the commercial centres near Sotogrande port or in Algeciras, 20 km away in a straight line. Public transport is available with seven lines and 32 stops in the wider area, though the residential layout means a car remains the practical choice. Sports facilities cluster nearby: Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.3 km, Santa María Polo Club at 3.0 km and a public swimming pool at 4.9 km. For families, the two Sotogrande International School campuses at 2.5 km and 3.1 km are the anchor educational facilities. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles sits 0.9 km away, a relevant detail for EV owners. The area is quiet outside the summer months, when golf, polo and beach activity raise traffic and occupancy levels noticeably. For year-round residents, this seasonal swing is the main characteristic to factor into expectations about the neighbourhood's rhythm.
The map shows the property's position in Sotogrande Alto, surrounded by three golf courses within two kilometres and set back roughly 4.7 km from the coast at Playa de La Alcaidesa. The border with Gibraltar lies about 14 km to the south, and Marbella 46 km to the east, illustrating the property's place at the western gateway of the Costa del Sol, a quiet, green corner of Andalusia within reach of both coasts.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sotogrande Alto occupies the northern, elevated part of Sotogrande, one of Spain's most established resort residential areas, developed from the 1960s onward around golf and polo. Politically it belongs to San Roque in Cádiz province, at the western end of the Costa del Sol where it meets the Costa de la Luz. Marbella lies 46 km east; Algeciras and its port 20 km west; Gibraltar's border roughly 15 km south. This positions the property closer to Gibraltar and Cádiz than to the Marbella-centred market, which shapes both flight options and buyer profile. The immediate surroundings are defined by golf courses and low-density villas rather than by hotel tourism.
Key distances, measured in a straight line: the beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.7 km away, Puerto de Sotogrande marina 3.9 km, and three golf courses, Valderrama, San Roque New Course and La Cañada, between 1.6 km and 1.8 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km away, a significant advantage for flights to the United Kingdom; Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 85 km away by direct distance, with a longer road journey in practice. Algeciras, with about 122,000 inhabitants, is 20 km distant; Marbella is 46 km and Jerez de la Frontera 86 km away as the crow flies. By car, most daily destinations in Sotogrande are within ten to fifteen minutes. Public transport exists, seven lines and 32 stops, but coverage of the residential pockets is limited, so a car is effectively required. The flat terrain and the four-car basement make vehicle ownership here straightforward to manage.

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, in line with the western Costa del Sol's mild Mediterranean regime. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, typically late May to early October, which fits with the private pool extending usable outdoor months further. At 65 m elevation the property sits slightly above the coast, giving views toward mountains and countryside without the access challenges of a hillside site; the 1.4% gradient to the beach confirms the terrain is flat. The natural cork oak fencing mentioned in the property details reflects the wider landscape: this part of Cádiz borders the Alcornocales natural park area, known for its native cork oak woodland. Sun exposure is strong, as expected for southern Spain, and the south and east orientation of the terraces captures morning and midday light. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, with dry, settled summers, the pattern that supports both the golf season and outdoor living for most of the year.

The nearest beach is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.7 km away in a straight line, a long, open stretch of coast west of Sotogrande that remains less developed than the Marbella shoreline. Puerto de Sotogrande, 3.9 km away, combines marina facilities with a restaurant and chiringuito scene around the harbour. Recreation in the immediate area is dominated by golf: 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 La Cañada at 1.8 km, three courses within five minutes' drive. Santa María Polo Club, 3.0 km distant, hosts international polo tournaments each summer, one of the seasonal highlights of the Sotogrande calendar. For everyday sport, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte is 2.3 km away and a public swimming pool 4.9 km. The Sotogolf community itself adds a communal pool and paddle tennis court. The property's private pool and garden complete the recreational offer at home, meaning beach trips are a choice rather than a daily necessity.

Within Sotogrande and its surroundings, this property occupies the upper end of the price spectrum. New-build comparable projects in the wider area publish from-prices between roughly €341,000 and €549,000, Altara Alcaidesa at €341,000, Atria at €423,000 and Adel San Roque at €549,000, but those figures typically apply to apartments or smaller units at the entry level of each development. At a fixed €1,249,000, Casa Olivo competes in a different segment: established villas and large townhouses in the Sotogrande golf belt, where plot size, mature gardens and proximity to Valderrama drive value. The 1,478 m² plot and four-car basement are features rarely found in new-build offerings at this price point, where developers tend to maximise density. Against other Sotogrande zones, Sotogrande Alto is quieter and greener than the port-side areas around Puerto de Sotogrande, trading waterfront vibrancy for seclusion and golf proximity. Compared with the La Alcaidesa area nearer the coast, it sits further from the beach (4.7 km) but closer to the golf courses and polo club. Regionally, Sotogrande as a whole differs from the Marbella-centred Costa del Sol market 46 km east: building volumes are lower, tourism pressure is smaller and the buyer base skews toward golf, polo and families using the international schools. The trade-off for buyers is service density, Marbella offers more restaurants, shops and year-round activity, while Sotogrande offers space, security and a slower rhythm. For a buyer comparing this property with a new-build alternative, the calculation is essentially established space and land against modern specification and warranties; the 2003 construction date places the inspection and maintenance review at the centre of that decision.
