A 300 m² apartment in the Kings and Queens area of Sotogrande Costa, Cádiz, offered at a fixed asking price of €1,195,000. The property comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms and several terraces with open green views towards the river. Completed in 2002 and now key-ready, it forms part of an established residential setting with communal pool and gardens. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.3 km away as the crow flies, and Puerto de Sotogrande is 2.2 km from the door. The interior would benefit from comprehensive renovation, which gives a buyer scope to adapt the layout to individual requirements.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the Kings and Queens quarter of Sotogrande Costa, close to the river, at 27 metres above sea level on flat terrain. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.3 km away in a straight line, with Valderrama 3.4 km and the marina 2.2 km. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 15 km distant. The setting is quiet and residential, with mature trees and palms.
The 300 m² layout provides a spacious living and dining area with fireplace, an enclosed beamed terrace used as a second sitting room, a separate kitchen with breakfast bar, three bedrooms set apart from the living zones, and a home office with vaulted wooden ceiling. Several terraces, a communal pool, communal gardens, air conditioning and paddle tennis cover everyday practical needs.
This is an existing home, completed in 2002, not a new-build development. It is key-ready and available for immediate transfer. The current interior would benefit from a comprehensive renovation; the existing layout and structure provide a starting point for buyers intending to carry out their own works after purchase.
The property does not offer a private pool or private garden; both are communal. Only one public transport stop is registered nearby, so daily life depends on a car. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa lies 4.8 km away in a straight line. The interior requires renovation, which adds cost and lead time before the home is fully updated.

This apartment suits a buyer who wants generous space in a quiet, established address and is prepared to renovate. Recognisable situations include: a household relocating to the Sotogrande area for the international schools, Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus is 4.1 km away and the main campus 4.8 km, and needing a family home near the golf and polo facilities; a second-home buyer seeking a mature neighbourhood that does not empty out outside the summer months; and a buyer with a renovation budget who values the character of the 2002 construction, the vaulted wooden ceilings and the enclosed beamed terrace, and wants to modernise rather than purchase turn-key. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a private pool or private garden, since both are communal, and less suited to those without a car, given the single registered public transport stop and the 4.8 km straight-line distance to the nearest beach. The layout, with an office and multiple living spaces, also works for buyers who work partly from home and need a distinct workspace with natural light on several sides.
The apartment dates from 2002 and retains a number of period features that give it character: exposed wooden beams on the enclosed terrace, a vaulted wooden ceiling in the office, a working fireplace with built-in shelving in the main living area, and marble flooring throughout. The staircase shown in the photographs is timber, leading towards the lake view. In technical terms, the home includes air conditioning for climate control and benefits from a communal pool, communal gardens and paddle tennis facilities within the urbanisation. The property also has access to a gym on site. The vendor's own description states clearly that the interior would benefit from a comprehensive renovation. In practical terms this means that kitchen, bathrooms, finishes and possibly services should be assessed and updated by the buyer after purchase. Buyers should treat the €1,195,000 asking price as the price of the property in its current condition and plan renovation costs separately, with a survey to establish the condition of installations built in 2002. The versatile layout, separate kitchen, enclosed terrace, office, bedrooms set apart, reduces the need for structural changes; the renovation is largely a matter of finishes and fittings rather than reconfiguration.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,195,000. This is an existing home rather than a new-build price list, so the price applies to the specific apartment as it stands. At 300 m² of living area with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the asking price equates to roughly €3,983 per square metre. Buyers should budget additionally for the comprehensive renovation the interior currently requires, plus standard purchase costs. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere in Sotogrande start from €341,000, though those are smaller units at different specifications. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Kings and Queens is one of the most established residential quarters of Sotogrande Costa, and daily life here reflects that maturity. The apartment sits close to the river in a flat, low-rise setting where palms and mature trees frame open green views from the terraces. The rhythm of the day is quiet rather than resort-like: mornings on the terraces overlooking the greenery, rounds of golf at Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande just 300 metres away, and evenings on the larger covered terrace arranged for outdoor dining. Inside, the layout separates living and sleeping zones. The main living and dining area has a fireplace and built-in shelving, and connects through sliding doors to an enclosed terrace with exposed wooden beams, currently used as a second sitting room. The kitchen is separate, with a breakfast bar and direct terrace access. The additional room with its vaulted wooden ceiling serves as a home office. The 300 m² floor area is generous for three bedrooms, meaning the extra space is distributed across living areas, terraces and the office. Amenities within two kilometres include three restaurants, two pharmacies, two banks, six cafés and two dentists, which covers routine needs without leaving the immediate area. The quarter remains quiet year-round, and the character of the neighbourhood shifts little between seasons compared with busier stretches of the coast.
The immediate surroundings are residential and green. The river runs close by, and the apartment's terraces look out over mature trees and palms rather than roads or construction. Within two kilometres, daily provisions are covered: three restaurants, six cafés, two pharmacies, two banks and two dentists. Healthcare is available at two health centres in the area, and education is well represented with thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools recorded locally, plus two international school campuses within five kilometres. Sports facilities are unusually close: Santa María Polo Club and a municipal sports complex both lie 1.8 km away, and the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is effectively next door at 0.3 km. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is 2.0 km away, which matters for buyers running an EV. Puerto de Sotogrande, at 2.2 km, functions as the social hub of the area with its marina, restaurants and shops. Tourism pressure is moderate, eight hotels with 1,719 beds in the area, so the neighbourhood does not swell dramatically in high season. Housing activity is steady at 1,018 transactions per year in the local market, indicating a liquid, established resale market rather than a speculative one.
The map shows the apartment's position in the Kings and Queens quarter, close to the river and the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande. Also marked are Puerto de Sotogrande, the international schools, Valderrama and La Cañada golf courses, the polo club and Playa de La Alcaidesa. All distances shown are straight-line.

Sotogrande occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the province of Cádiz rather than Málaga, close to the Gibraltar border. The position is distinct from the Marbella, Estepona corridor 45-plus kilometres to the east: lower density, more golf and polo, fewer high-rise blocks. Algeciras, 21 km away, is the working port city that supplies rail and ferry connections. Gibraltar Airport 15 km away and Malaga Airport roughly 84 km away give the area two air options, which few Spanish coastal locations can offer. Median income in the province of €15,750 reflects the broader Cádiz economy, while Sotogrande itself functions as an international enclave within it.
The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.8 km away in a straight line, actual road distance will be longer. The terrain is essentially flat, with a gradient of just 0.6% towards the coast, so cycling is realistic. Puerto de Sotogrande is 2.2 km straight-line from the property, and golf is closer still: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.3 km, La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama at 3.4 km. Airport access is a distinguishing feature of this location: Gibraltar Airport is roughly 15 km away in a straight line, making short flights to the UK practical, while Malaga-Costa del Sol lies about 84 km straight-line and serves the wider European network. Algeciras, with around 122,000 inhabitants, is 21 km away. Public transport is limited to one registered stop, so a car is necessary for daily life; the flat terrain and the charging point 2.0 km away make an electric car a workable option. Marbella is 45 km and Jerez de la Frontera 87 km away in straight-line terms.

The climate data points to a mild Mediterranean-Atlantic regime: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. The Atlantic influence at this western end of the Costa del Sol moderates summer heat compared with areas further east. The elevation of 27 metres above sea level, combined with the flat gradient towards the beach, means no steep walks or stairs between home and coast, a practical point for older residents and for everyday cycling. The green setting close to the river, with mature trees and palms visible from the terraces, adds shade and a sheltered feel. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, leaving long dry summers suited to outdoor living on the multiple terraces, and the covered terrace allows outdoor dining even in the cooler months. The lake visible from the wooden staircase adds a further natural element to the immediate outlook.

Beach life here requires a short drive: Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.8 km away as the crow flies, an long, open stretch of coast rather than an urban sand beach at the doorstep. The compensation lies in the concentration of sporting facilities within a five-kilometre radius. Three golf courses are within reach, Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.3 km, La Cañada at 2.5 km and the renowned Valderrama at 3.4 km, placing the apartment in one of the densest golf environments in southern Spain. Santa María Polo Club, host of high-goal summer polo, is 1.8 km away, alongside a municipal sports complex at the same distance. Within the urbanisation itself, residents use the communal pool, communal gardens, paddle tennis courts and a gym. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.2 km away, adds sailing, waterside dining and seasonal events to the recreation mix. For buyers whose leisure pattern centres on golf, padel and polo rather than daily beach visits, the balance of distances here works in favour of the sporting facilities.

Within Sotogrande itself, the new-build supply currently on offer sits at noticeably lower entry prices than this apartment: Altara Alcaidesa from €341,000, Atria from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from €549,000. Those projects, however, sell smaller units at modern specifications, whereas this property is a resale of 300 m² in one of the area's established quarters. The comparison is therefore not like-for-like: a buyer choosing this apartment is paying for floor area, a mature green setting beside the river and immediate proximity to the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, while accepting a renovation project; a buyer choosing the new-build alternatives gets turn-key finishes and warranties but considerably less space per euro at the top end of those ranges. Regionally, Sotogrande occupies a different market segment from the Marbella corridor 45 km to the east. Marbella, with around 148,000 inhabitants, offers density, nightlife and a broader resale market; Sotogrande offers low-rise residential areas, three golf courses within 3.4 km of this property, high-goal polo at Santa María Polo Club and a quieter year-round character. The local market records about 1,018 housing transactions per year, modest in volume compared with Marbella, which affects resale liquidity and time on market. Algeciras, 21 km west, is a larger city of roughly 122,000 inhabitants with port and rail connections, but its housing market operates at a different price level; the median provincial income of €15,750 illustrates how far Sotogrande sits above its provincial context. For golf-focused buyers, few locations on the Costa del Sol place a buyer within 3.4 km of Valderrama, Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande and La Cañada simultaneously, and that concentration, rather than price per square metre, is the distinguishing feature of this position.
