This detached villa is situated in Sotogrande Alto, within the C-Zone of one of Spain's most established residential estates in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz. The property provides approximately 1,240 m² of constructed space across three floors, including around 862 m² of interior area, on a plot of roughly 3,300 m². The residence contains seven en-suite bedrooms, a private lift serving all levels up to a rooftop chill-out area, a private pool with planned solar heating, and a paddle tennis court. Sotogrande Alto sits inland of the coast at about 142 metres above sea level, within two kilometres of three golf clubs, including Valderrama.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Sotogrande Alto, the elevated northern section of the Sotogrande estate, at roughly 142 metres above sea level. Three golf clubs, Valderrama, La Cañada and Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, lie within two kilometres. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.7 km away, while the supermarket is 1.7 km and the airport approximately 14 km by straight line.
The residence accommodates large households or buyers seeking substantial multi-generational space: seven en-suite bedrooms across three floors, a four-person lift to the rooftop, multiple reception areas, underfloor heating, air conditioning, home automation, a private pool, paddle court and private parking. Daily needs are met within a 1.7 km radius, with pharmacy (1.3 km), restaurants, cafés and banks within two kilometres.
The property is listed as completed and in new-construction condition, with delivery indicated as completed (the cadastral record notes 1970 as an original build date, indicative only). The residence is fully built and equipped, including its lift, pool installations, home automation and climate systems. No further construction phases apply. Purchase therefore concerns a finished, turn-key property rather than an off-plan commitment.
The property is not directly on the coastline; the nearest beach lies 4.7 km away, reached by car. There is no sea frontage and no marina within walking distance (Puerto de Sotogrande is 3.9 km). Public transport is limited, with a single bus stop recorded in the area, so a car is practical for most trips beyond daily amenities. The plot of 3,300 m² is substantial but not agricultural or rural land; it sits within a planned residential zone.
This property fits buyers seeking a substantial, finished villa in a low-density residential setting where golf, privacy and space take priority over beachfront access. Recognisable situations include: a multi-generational family needing seven en-suite bedrooms and lift access across three floors; a buyer relocating permanently who wants international schooling (Sotogrande International School at 2.5 km) and hospital access (9.5 km) within reach; an owner planning extended seasonal residence who values a solar-heated pool extending the swimming season from Easter to autumn; and households that entertain, given the multiple reception areas, rooftop chill-out space and paddle court. The property is less suited to buyers who want to walk to the beach, who depend on public transport, or who prefer the buzz of a town centre, the nearest beach is 4.7 km away and only one bus stop serves the area. Buyers prioritising hotel-style communal facilities ( spas, concierge, managed pools) will not find them here; the property operates as a private residence with private amenities. The quiet character outside the summer and polo seasons suits those seeking calm, and may underwhelm those wanting year-round activity at the doorstep.
The residence is delivered with a contemporary specification aimed at year-round occupation. Climate control is layered: hot and cold air conditioning throughout, underfloor heating, and a fireplace for seasonal use. A comprehensive home automation (domotics) system manages the main functions of the property, and the garage is equipped with technical systems consistent with modern villa standards. The pool is planned to be heated by solar energy, extending the usable swimming season from Easter through autumn while reducing running costs, a practical consideration at this elevation, where average temperatures range from 11°C in winter months to 26°C in summer. Interior distribution provides seven en-suite bathrooms, all with modern fittings, as evidenced by the photographic record of dual-vanity bathrooms with bathtubs and views. The kitchen features a central island with designer fixtures. Vertical circulation is handled by a private four-person lift serving all three floors plus the rooftop, which removes the practical limitation that stair-only villas impose on older occupants or guests. External works include a 36 m² pool house, 74 m² of covered terraces and 268 m² of open terraces, together with a paddle tennis court and landscaped private garden on the 3,300 m² plot. Parking is private. The overall package combines volume (1,240 m² constructed) with a technical specification, underfloor heating, domotics, solar pool heating, lift, that supports full-time residence rather than purely seasonal use.
The property is listed at €5,500,000 as a completed, single-ownership detached villa. Pricing at this level reflects the scale of the asset: approximately 1,240 m² of constructed area on a 3,300 m² plot, with seven en-suite bedrooms, lift access, private pool, paddle court and rooftop terrace. This positions the property well above the surrounding new-build apartment stock in Sotogrande, where comparable projects start from approximately €341,000 (Altara Alcaidesa), €423,000 (Atria) and €551,000 (Adel San Roque). Pricing is presented as an asking figure; actual transaction terms depend on negotiation and notary process.
Sotogrande Alto is the elevated, residential inland portion of the wider Sotogrande estate, characterised by low-density villa plots, tree-lined roads and direct proximity to golf courses rather than to the beach. Daily life here is organised around the villa and its grounds: morning use of the pool or paddle court, gardening and outdoor living on the combined 342 m² of covered and open terraces, and evenings on the rooftop chill-out area, which the lift makes accessible from every floor. The surrounding municipality of San Roque records around 11,741 residents, and the immediate two-kilometre radius offers a modest but functional service layer, three restaurants, six cafés, two pharmacies, two banks and two dentists, which covers routine needs without requiring a longer trip. The nearest supermarket at 1.7 km and pharmacy at 1.3 km are short drives. The rhythm of the area is quiet and seasonal: the Sotogrande estate fills noticeably during summer and during the October polo season at Santa María Polo Club (3.0 km), and is considerably calmer outside those periods. Golf is the structuring activity of the zone; Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup, is 1.6 km away, with La Cañada and Real Club de Golf Sotogrande also within two kilometres. The elevation of 142 metres means the property sits above the coastal humidity line, with views over the surrounding hills and, from the rooftop, across the estate. An EV charging station (IONITY Sotogrande) is 909 metres away, reflecting the area's steady adoption of electric mobility. International schooling is available at Sotogrande International School (2.5–3.0 km), which matters for families considering extended stays.
Daily life in Sotogrande Alto is car-assisted but not car-dependent for essentials. The nearest supermarket sits 1.7 km away and the pharmacy 1.3 km, both a few minutes' drive; the two-kilometre radius adds three restaurants, six cafés, two banks and two dentists, enough for routine errands and casual dining without leaving the estate. Healthcare beyond the pharmacy requires a 9.5 km trip to the hospital. The area records only one public transport stop, so commuting by public transport is not practical; an EV charging point at IONITY Sotogrande (909 m) supports electric vehicle use. Recreation is concentrated on golf and polo: Valderrama (1.6 km), La Cañada (1.8 km) and Real Club de Golf Sotogrande (2.0 km) form one of the densest clusters of championship golf in southern Spain, while Santa María Polo Club (3.0 km) hosts the international polo season each summer. Other sports facilities include Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte (2.3 km) and Piscina Loma del Rey (4.9 km). The tone of the area is residential and quiet for most of the year, with pronounced seasonal peaks in summer and during the polo season.
The map shows the property within Sotogrande Alto, C-Zone, at the elevated northern edge of the estate. Golf clubs cluster to the south and west within two kilometres; the coastline and Playa de La Alcaidesa lie 4.7 km south-east; Puerto de Sotogrande and the marina sit 3.9 km away. The road network connects the estate to the A-7 coastal corridor towards Estepona and Gibraltar.

Sotogrande Alto occupies the elevated northern section of the Sotogrande estate, within the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, on the western edge of the Costa del Sol where it meets the Campo de Gibraltar. The position is closer to Gibraltar than to Málaga: Gibraltar airport is roughly 14 km straight-line, while Málaga-Costa del Sol lies approximately 809 km by straight-line measure, though around 110 km by road via the A-7. Regional cities, Sevilla, Córdoba, Madrid, lie at considerable distance, confirming that the immediate frame of reference is the Gibraltar, Estepona coastal corridor rather than inland Andalusia. Within this corridor, Sotogrande Alto is positioned as the quiet, golf-adjacent, villa-based counterpart to the more marina-oriented lower sections of the estate.
Straight-line distances from the property: beaches at Playa de La Alcaidesa 4.7 km, Playa de La Atunara 8.2 km and Playa de la Chullera 9.3 km; the nearest airport approximately 14 km (Gibraltar airport is the closest by road, while Málaga-Costa del Sol is roughly 809 km straight-line and serves most international routes); supermarket 1.7 km; hospital 9.5 km; pharmacy 1.3 km. Golf access is exceptional: Valderrama at 1.6 km, La Cañada at 1.8 km and Real Club de Golf Sotogrande at 2.0 km. Puerto de Sotogrande marina lies 3.9 km away. An EV charging station is 909 m from the property. A car is convenient though not required for every trip within the estate.

The property sits at 142 metres above sea level on gently elevated terrain inland of the coast. The climate is Mediterranean with maritime moderation: average temperatures range from 11°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with a recorded annual mean of 13.4°C for the wider area. Historical sunshine totals reach approximately 3,230 hours per year, among the higher figures for southern Europe, supporting year-round terrace and pool use. The solar-heated pool extends the swimming season from Easter through autumn. The elevation places the villa above the immediate coastal strip, which typically means slightly cooler evenings and broader views over the wooded estate and surrounding hills. The eastern orientation of the property provides morning sun on the main terraces. The gently sloping topography of Sotogrande Alto, combined with its mature tree cover, contributes to the quiet, green character of the zone.

The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.7 km away, a short drive rather than a walk, with Playa de La Atunara (8.2 km) and Playa de la Chullera (9.3 km) as alternatives along the Strait of Gibraltar coastline. Recreation in the immediate area is dominated by golf: Valderrama (1.6 km), one of Europe's most recognised courses and host of the 1997 Ryder Cup, La Cañada (1.8 km) and Real Club de Golf Sotogrande (2.0 km) together place three courses within a five-minute drive. Santa María Polo Club (3.0 km) hosts an international polo season each summer. Additional facilities include Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte (2.3 km) and Piscina Loma del Rey (4.9 km). The property itself carries its own recreational layer: private pool with solar heating, pool house, paddle tennis court and rooftop chill-out terrace with lift access. Puerto de Sotogrande (3.9 km) provides marina services and waterfront dining.

Within the Sotogrande catchment, this villa occupies a different market segment from the surrounding new-build stock. Current comparable projects, Altara Alcaidesa (from approx. €341,000), Atria (from €423,000) and Adel San Roque (from €551,000), consist of apartment-format new construction aimed at the entry and mid-market. At €5,500,000, this property sits roughly ten times above those entry points, reflecting its format: a completed detached villa of 1,240 m² on 3,300 m² of land with seven en-suite bedrooms, a lift and private sporting facilities. The practical comparison for a buyer is therefore not with those apartment developments but with the resale villa market of Sotogrande Alto and neighbouring zones such as La Alcaidesa, Sotogrande Costa and the cork-oak landscapes towards Pinar del Rey. Within Sotogrande Alto specifically, the C-Zone is among the zones closest to Valderrama and La Cañada, which is reflected in plot values across the estate. Relative to lower Sotogrande and the marina area, Alto trades beach proximity for elevation, larger plots and quieter surroundings, the beach is a drive rather than a stroll. Relative to the wider Costa del Sol corridor towards Estepona and Marbella, Sotogrande offers a lower-density, estate-managed environment with a strong golf and polo identity, and a position that is closer to Gibraltar airport (approx. 14 km) than to Málaga. For buyers comparing Mediterranean sunshine destinations, the area's 3,230 annual sunshine hours and golf infrastructure place it alongside the best-established resort estates in southern Spain, while its Cádiz location gives it a distinct Atlantic-influenced character at the Strait of Gibraltar.
