This detached villa stands in a gated urbanisation in Sotogrande, in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, close to the fairways of the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande. The house was completed in 2016 and has since been fully renovated, offering 642 m² of living space on a plot of 1,452 m². It comprises five bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, plus a guest toilet, a private heated pool and a garage for three cars. A built-in lift connects all floors. The asking price is fixed at €2,195,000. The location combines a frontline-golf setting with proximity to the marina, beaches and international schools.
Within Sotogrande, the villa competes in a segment defined by size and golf proximity rather than by price per square metre alone. Comparable new-build projects in the same area illustrate the spread: Villa Azahar San Roque Club lists from €2,390,000 for newly constructed villas, while Adel San Roque and Serenity Golf Homes start from roughly €551,000 and €549,000 respectively, the latter clearly aimed at a different product type, likely apartments or smaller homes. At a fixed €2,195,000, this property undercuts the new-build villa alternative while offering more built area (642 m²) and an established, landscaped plot. Against Marbella, 45 km to the east along the coast, Sotogrande generally offers larger plots, lower density and a quieter winter season; Marbella compensates with a broader year-round service economy and a larger resale market of 147,958 inhabitants against San Roque's 34,310. The villa's western position also changes the airport calculation: Gibraltar at 14 km is far closer than Málaga at 84 km, which suits buyers who travel via the UK or charter routes but matters to those dependent on Málaga's long-haul connections. Housing transactions in the municipality number around 849 per year, indicating an active but not fast-turnover market; buyers should expect longer marketing periods than on the central Costa del Sol, and price formation that rests on scarcity of large frontline-golf plots rather than on volume. Median income in the province of €15,750 underlines the gap between the local general economy and this estate's resident profile, which is reflected in the level of services, schools and sports infrastructure concentrated in the area.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa lies within Sotogrande, the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, near the border of Cádiz and Málaga provinces. The Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is roughly 800 metres away as the crow flies, with Valderrama at about 3.1 km. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande sits 2.7 km away, and the nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.4 km in a direct line. Gibraltar Airport is 14 km distant.
The property is arranged for family living across three floors plus a semi-basement. Five en-suite bedrooms, a study, a double-height hallway and a living room with full-width glass doors onto a chill-out terrace support both permanent residence and holiday use. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning, a private heated pool and a south to south-east orientation address year-round comfort, while the lift removes the barrier of stairs between levels.
This is not a new-build project but an existing, key-ready home, completed in 2016 and subsequently renovated to a contemporary standard. There is no construction phase or waiting period: the buyer can take possession directly after completion of the purchase. Architectural plans exist to convert part of the basement garage level into a separate guest apartment, which would be a later modification at the new owner's initiative and cost.
The property does not offer direct beach access; the nearest beach lies 4.4 km away as the crow flies. There is no separate guest apartment at present, only the plans for one. A garage for three cars is included, but no additional covered parking beyond that is documented. Public transport exists in the wider area with nine lines and eight stops, yet a car remains the practical mode for most daily trips. No cadastral or energy-certification details are stated here.
This house fits a household that needs genuine space and separation: five en-suite bedrooms suit a family with teenage children, a multigenerational arrangement, or owners who regularly receive guests for extended stays. It also matches buyers who want a property that works outside the high season, the heated pool, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, hot and cold air conditioning and a lift make the villa liveable in winter, not only in July and August. Golf players will value the position: the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies about 800 metres away in a direct line, with La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama at 3.1 km. Families relocating longer term can reach Sotogrande International School's two campuses at 3.5 and 4.5 km, and the municipality counts thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools. The house is less suited to buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave apartment or direct beach-front living; the beach is 4.4 km away and the property is a substantial detached home that benefits from regular occupancy or management. Buyers who arrive by air will note that Gibraltar Airport is 14 km away in a straight line, while Málaga-Costa del Sol lies 84 km, which affects transfer planning for international arrivals.
The villa was built in 2016 and has since undergone a full renovation, which in practice means current installations rather than age-related systems. The climate installation combines hot and cold air conditioning with underfloor heating, the latter at least in the bathrooms, allowing zoned comfort across seasons. The interior layout reflects a considered plan: a double-height entrance hall, a ground-floor salon with a modern fireplace, a fitted kitchen with an island and contemporary lighting, and a dining area connected to the lounge. Full-width glass doors in the living room open onto the chill-out terrace, extending the principal living space outdoors. The five bedrooms each have their own bathroom, supplemented by a guest toilet on the ground floor. Vertical circulation is handled by an internal lift and a modern staircase, which serves all floors including the semi-basement garage level. The garage measures approximately 80 m² and holds three cars, with access directly from the street. The existing architectural plans to convert part of the basement into a separate guest apartment indicate that the structure allows further adaptation, though any such work would require the usual permits and verification by the buyer. The outdoor areas include a large swimming pool, a solarium and gardens oriented to the south and south-east, with views over the golf course and mountains. The condition is described as fully renovated and key-ready, so no finishing works are anticipated before occupation.
The asking price is fixed at €2,195,000 for the villa as a whole; this is a single existing home, not a project with a price list. The price covers a key-ready property with 642 m² of living space, a 1,452 m² plot, five en-suite bedrooms, a heated private pool, a garage for three cars and a lift. Within Sotogrande itself, the market shows a wide spread: comparable new-build projects in the area start from roughly €549,000 for smaller homes, while villa projects such as Villa Azahar San Roque Club list from €2,390,000. This villa therefore sits in the upper segment of the local market, consistent with its size, frontline-golf setting and finished condition. Ongoing costs such as community fees, IBI and waste collection are not specified in the available data and should be confirmed before purchase.
Daily life at this villa revolves around a quiet, gated setting with golf as the immediate backdrop. Mornings can begin on the south-east facing terrace or by the pool, which is heated and therefore usable beyond the summer months. The kitchen with its island opens onto a dining area and lounge, so cooking, eating and relaxing flow together; full-width glass doors in the living room connect the interior to the terrace and garden without interruption. With five en-suite bedrooms, the house accommodates a large family or a household that regularly hosts guests, and the study on the top floor provides a workable space for remote work. The lift serves all floors, which matters in a three-storey house with a semi-basement garage. Practical errands are short: a supermarket lies 1.7 km away, a pharmacy 1.2 km, and a hospital 10 km, all in straight-line terms. The area around Sotogrande is flat towards the coast, with a gradient of under one per cent to the beach, so cycling and walking are realistic options for recreation. Evenings can be spent at the marina in Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km away, where restaurants and nightlife concentrate, or at the Santa María Polo Club 2.3 km from the house. The climate supports outdoor use of the property for most of the year: the average annual temperature is 18.5°C and the swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts five months.
Sotogrande occupies a 25-square-kilometre stretch of the coast between the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, producing a landscape of sea, hills, cork forests and fairways with views towards Gibraltar and, on clear days, Morocco. The community is private and gated, which shapes daily life: through-traffic is limited and the streets are primarily residential. Daily provisions are close at hand, with a supermarket 1.7 km away and a pharmacy 1.2 km, while two banks, a cafe and a dentist sit within a two-kilometre radius. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the municipality and a hospital 10 km away in a direct line. The municipality of San Roque counts 34,310 inhabitants, and tourism infrastructure remains modest at seven hotels with around 1,017 beds, meaning the area does not take on the density of a mass resort in summer. Public transport exists with nine lines and eight stops, but for most residents a car is the practical tool, and one is useful though not strictly necessary for everything. Sports provision is extensive for the size of the area: 66 sports facilities are recorded, including the Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km, the Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km and a public swimming pool 4.7 km away.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sotogrande sits at the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, about 25 km north-east of Gibraltar. Within the regional hierarchy it is closer to Algeciras (21 km) than to Marbella (45 km), and Jerez de la Frontera lies 87 km away, all measured in a straight line. This positions the villa nearer to Gibraltar Airport (14 km) than to Málaga (84 km), which distinguishes it from most Costa del Sol locations further east. The area functions as a low-density residential enclave with golf, polo and marina facilities rather than as a resort town, and its character is shaped by the gated urbanisations that make up the estate.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies, so actual road distances will be longer. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km away, with Playa de la Chullera at 8.1 km and Playa de La Atunara at 8.5 km. Puerto de Sotogrande marina is 2.7 km from the villa. Gibraltar Airport is the closest at 14 km, which makes short-haul arrivals straightforward; Málaga-Costa del Sol lies 84 km and serves a far wider range of routes. Golf is the most immediate amenity: the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at roughly 0.8 km, La Cañada at 2.5 km, the San Roque New Course at 3.4 km and Valderrama at 3.1 km. For daily needs, an electric-vehicle charging point (IONITY) sits 1.8 km away, the supermarket 1.7 km and the pharmacy 1.2 km. By car, the source material indicates roughly five minutes' drive to the beach, the marina and the polo ground. Larger towns within reach are Algeciras at 21 km, Marbella at 45 km and Jerez de la Frontera at 87 km, all in a direct line.

The villa stands at about 39 metres above sea level on terrain that slopes less than one per cent towards the coast, effectively flat, which makes walking and cycling to nearby amenities realistic. The regional climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, and the swimming season, defined by sea water of 20°C or warmer, runs about five months. Winters are mild enough that the combination of underfloor heating in the bathrooms, hot and cold air conditioning and a heated pool keeps the property comfortable year-round. The natural setting is distinctive: Sotogrande stretches from the sea back into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, with cork forests around the residential areas and mountain views from the plot. The south to south-east orientation of the villa means the principal terrace and pool areas receive morning and midday sun, while the evening light falls over the golf course and hills to the west. This orientation also matters for energy use, as the main living spaces gain solar warmth in the cooler months.

The beaches of the western Costa del Sol and Cádiz coastline lie within a short drive. Playa de La Alcaidesa, the closest at 4.4 km in a direct line, is a long open beach backed by the Alcaidesa development; Playa de la Chullera at 8.1 km sits near the river mouth of the same name, and Playa de La Atunara at 8.5 km borders the working fishing quarter of La Línea. Golf, however, is the defining recreation here: the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, one of the region's founding courses, lies roughly 800 metres from the villa, with Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km, Club de Golf Valderrama, host of historic professional tournaments, at 3.1 km, and the San Roque New Course at 3.4 km. Polo players and spectators can reach the Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, which hosts high-goal matches each summer. Further sports infrastructure includes the Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and a municipal pool at 4.7 km. In total, 66 sports facilities are recorded in the area, an unusually high figure for a community of this size and a fair measure of how sport-oriented the local calendar is.
