A detached villa of 509 m² on a 1,125 m² private plot in Zona B of Sotogrande Costa, Cádiz. The property offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private garden with swimming pool, a carport and air conditioning, and was completed in 2003 in a classic Andalusian architectural style. The asking price is fixed at €1,350,000. The villa stands in an established residential area 0.3 km from Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, with the marina, beaches and international schools of the Sotogrande area within short reach. Gibraltar Airport lies roughly 15 km away as the crow flies.
Within the Sotogrande area, this villa occupies a different segment from the current new-build supply. Altara Alcaidesa starts from €341,000, Atria from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from €549,000, all considerably lower entry points, but these are new apartment-style developments rather than detached villas on private land. At a fixed €1,350,000, this property competes in the established-villa segment, where the value proposition is space, plot and location rather than contemporary specification. Compared with newer developments, buyers receive roughly 509 m² of living area, a 1,125 m² private plot, a private pool and immediate availability, in exchange for a 2003 build standard and the modernisation that entails. Regionally, Sotogrande stands apart from the Marbella belt 45 km to the east: property here is organised around golf, polo and the marina rather than beachfront density, with 8 hotels and 1,719 beds keeping tourism pressure comparatively low. The western position shortens the distance to Gibraltar Airport to about 15 km in a straight line, while Malaga-Costa del Sol remains reachable at roughly 84 km for wider flight connections. Local market activity of around 1,018 transactions per year indicates steady turnover, and the presence of 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools, including two international school campuses, supports year-round family occupation rather than seasonal use. For buyers weighing this villa against new build, the trade-off is clear: newer projects deliver modern finishes and lower entry prices in multi-unit formats, while this property delivers land, privacy and an established residential setting that new apartment developments cannot replicate. Buyers prioritising a turnkey contemporary finish may find the new-build route simpler; those prioritising space and plot will find little direct competition at this price point in the immediate area.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located in Zona B, an established part of Sotogrande Costa in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.3 km away in a direct line, Puerto de Sotogrande 2.2 km, and Playa de La Alcaidesa 4.8 km. The terrain between the house and the coast is flat, with an elevation of about 27 metres above sea level.
With 509 m² of living space spread over three levels, the villa accommodates five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The main level holds three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the first floor is dedicated to a master suite with ensuite bathroom and two terraces, and the lower level contains a further bedroom plus a large adaptable open space suitable as a gym, cinema or entertainment room.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2003 and the property is key-ready and described as being in good condition. The interior finish is dated to that period in places, and the source material notes that modernisation would raise the standard of the house. Completion dates of this kind are historical and factual rather than indicative.
The property is a completed 2003 villa, so buyers should not expect new-build specifications or a developer warranty. Public transport in the immediate area is limited to a single stop, making a car necessary for most daily errands. The nearest beach is 4.8 km away as the crow flies, so this is not a walk-to-the-sea location. The sea view from the first-floor terrace is partial rather than full.
This property fits buyers seeking a detached villa with space for a large or multi-generational family, given five bedrooms across three levels and a lower floor that can absorb specific wishes such as a home gym, cinema or guest suite. It also suits households relocating to the area for the long term: there are 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools in the wider area, including Sotogrande International School campuses at 4.1 and 4.8 km, and two health centres nearby. Golf players form an obvious category, three courses within 3.4 km, including Valderrama, as do polo followers, with Santa María Polo Club 1.8 km away. The house is less obvious for buyers wanting a lock-and-leave apartment with communal services, for those who want to walk to the beach each morning, or for anyone dependent on public transport, since only one stop serves the area. Buyers expecting a turnkey contemporary finish should note the 2003 construction date and factor modernisation into their planning. Finally, the plot of 1,125 m² requires ongoing garden maintenance, which is a recurring cost and practical commitment rather than a detail.
The villa was built in 2003 in a classic Andalusian architectural style, combining traditional detailing with a residential layout. The entrance hall is bright, with notable ceiling height and marble flooring throughout the main level, which sets the tone for the rest of the interior. The source description lists the condition as good, with air conditioning installed and a practical kitchen in place. The first-floor master suite has its own bathroom and two terraces; the lower level is a large unfinished-in-function open space, deliberately flexible rather than fitted out for one purpose. Externally, the property includes a private swimming pool, a mature planted garden across multiple levels, shaded dining and lounge areas, and a carport for parking. Image analysis confirms an open-plan living-dining area, a kitchen with light wood cabinetry, a sunny terrace with lounge furniture and a two-storey villa with pool. What the house does not offer is contemporary new-build specification: no developer warranty applies, no information is available about the insulation standard or current energy systems beyond the air conditioning, and the 2003 finish means kitchens and bathrooms may not match current expectations in every respect. Buyers planning a refurbishment should treat the lower level and kitchen as the most likely candidates for works. A technical survey before purchase is the standard instrument to establish the exact condition of the structure, installations and pool.
The villa is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €1,350,000, this is not a from-price and there is no price list of unit types. At that price the property delivers 509 m² of built living space on a 1,125 m² plot, equivalent to roughly €2,650 per m² of living area. For context within the same area, new-build projects nearby start considerably lower: Altara Alcaidesa from €341,000, Atria from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from €549,000, though those are apartment-style developments rather than detached villas on private land. Buyers should budget separately for the modernisation the property may require, plus the usual purchase costs in Andalusia. Availability is immediate, as the house is key-ready.
Daily life in this villa revolves around its layered layout and the garden. The entrance level works as the family floor: a bright hall with high ceilings and marble flooring leads to an open-plan living and dining area, a practical kitchen and three bedrooms with two bathrooms. Large sliding doors open onto a terrace that runs along the pool and the mature garden, which in practice functions as an outdoor dining and lounge room for much of the year given the regional climate. The first floor is reserved for the master suite, with an ensuite bathroom and access to two separate terraces, one of which carries a partial view towards the sea. The lower level adds a bedroom and a large open-plan space that can be configured as a cinema, gym, spa or games room, with stairs leading directly down to the lower garden and pool area, where shaded dining and lounge corners provide relief during the warmest hours. The rhythm of the area is quiet and residential. Zona B is a low-density part of Sotogrande with villas on private plots, and the immediate surroundings include a handful of restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks and a dentist within 2 km. Golf plays a central role locally: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande sits 0.3 km away as the crow flies, with Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama at 3.4 km. Santa María Polo Club is 1.8 km away. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood stays inhabited year-round, which distinguishes it from purely seasonal resorts.
The immediate surroundings are those of an established, low-density residential zone. Within 2 km the area offers 3 restaurants, 6 cafés, 2 pharmacies, 2 banks and 2 dentists, enough for daily needs without leaving the neighbourhood, though a car remains the practical mode of transport for shopping and larger errands. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.2 km away in a direct line, adds waterfront restaurants and boutique shopping. Two international school campuses sit at 4.1 and 4.8 km, and the area counts 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools in total, plus two health centres. Tourism infrastructure is moderate, 8 hotels with 1,719 beds, which keeps the area quieter than resort towns further east along the coast. Annual housing transactions in the area number around 1,018, indicating an active but not hyper-liquid market. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is 2.0 km away. Algeciras, with roughly 122,000 inhabitants, lies 21 km away in a straight line; Marbella is 45 km and Jerez de la Frontera 87 km. The practical consequence is a location that feels residential and self-contained, with larger urban services reachable by car within the hour.
The map shows the villa's position in Zona B of Sotogrande Costa, with Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande immediately adjacent, the marina to the south-west, and the coast at Playa de La Alcaidesa beyond. All marked distances are straight-line measurements; road distances will be longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sotogrande Costa sits at the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the province of Cádiz, close to the border with Gibraltar's hinterland. Within the regional geography, it is 45 km in a straight line from Marbella, 21 km from Algeciras and 87 km from Jerez de la Frontera. This positions the villa in one of Spain's most established luxury residential enclaves, known for golf, polo and the marina, while remaining outside the high-density hotel strips further east. Access is anchored by Gibraltar Airport at roughly 15 km in a straight line and Malaga-Costa del Sol at about 84 km.
The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.8 km away as the crow flies, with a flat gradient of 0.6% between the villa and the coast, so the route by road is easy cycling or a short drive. Puerto de Sotogrande is 2.2 km in a direct line. For air travel, Gibraltar Airport is approximately 15 km away in a straight line, the source description gives roughly 25 minutes by car, while Malaga-Costa del Sol lies about 84 km away in a direct line and Alicante-Elche about 474 km. Public transport is minimal, with a single stop registered in the area; a car is effectively required. Golf is the strongest proximity feature: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.3 km, La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama at 3.4 km, all measured in straight lines, with actual road distances somewhat longer. Santa María Polo Club and the Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte sports centre are both 1.8 km away. All distances are straight-line figures unless stated otherwise.

The villa sits at roughly 27 metres above sea level on flat terrain, with a gradient to the beach of only 0.6%, which makes walking and cycling around the neighbourhood undemanding. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, typical of the western Costa del Sol and Cádiz coast, with mild winters and warm summers moderated by Atlantic influence. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C. The Mediterranean lifestyle here leans on long outdoor seasons: the pool, terraces and shaded garden areas of this property are usable for most of the year rather than a few summer weeks. Sunshine hours in the region support outdoor living across spring, summer and autumn, while the nearby golf courses and polo grounds remain in play through the winter months. The flat coastal strip between Sotogrande and La Alcaidesa gives the area an open, green character shaped by fairways and mature planting rather than dense construction.

The nearest beach is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.8 km away in a direct line, a broad sandy stretch on the stretch of coast between Sotogrande and Gibraltar. The Sotogrande marina, 2.2 km away, provides sailing opportunities, waterfront dining and a working harbour atmosphere. Recreation in the area is strongly oriented towards sport: three golf clubs within 3.4 km, including the internationally known Valderrama and the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande practically next door at 0.3 km, plus La Cañada as a more accessible municipal option. Santa María Polo Club, 1.8 km away, hosts high-goal polo during the summer season and is one of the defining institutions of the area. The Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 1.8 km covers general sports facilities. Horse riding, tennis and paddle are available in the wider Sotogrande area. The villa's own private pool and garden cover day-to-day recreation, meaning beach trips are a choice rather than a daily necessity.
