This property concerns two adjoining plots of a combined 3,700 m² in Sotogrande Costa, within the municipality of San Roque in Cádiz. A villa of approximately 700 m² is partially built on the site, with the original project plans available and a licence already granted for extending the existing structure. The maximum buildability is 1,450 m², leaving around 600 m² of additional construction possible. The plots are situated in a private cul-de-sac with panoramic views over the tree line and natural surroundings of Sotogrande Costa. The asking price is fixed at €2,000,000.
Within Sotogrande itself, current comparable supply consists mainly of new-build projects. Villa Azahar at San Roque Club is listed from €2,390,000, while Adel San Roque and Serenity Golf Homes both start at €549,000. The comparison illustrates the split in the local market: finished or off-plan homes with developer specifications at one end, and raw development land at the other. This property sits apart from both categories, combining a substantial 3,700 m² land holding with an existing 700 m² structure, granted extension licence and 1,450 m² of buildability, a package that rarely reaches the open market in an estate where plots of this scale are scarce. Against the €549,000 entry-level projects, the €2,000,000 fixed asking price reflects land value and development scope rather than a finished product; against Villa Azahar, it offers roughly twice the plot area and the freedom to determine the architecture. Regionally, Sotogrande prices tend to sit above the Cádiz coastal average but with a different profile from Marbella, 45 km east, where density, retail and nightlife drive a separate market segment. With 849 housing transactions per year recorded in the area and a provincial median income of €15,750, local demand is driven largely by international and second-home buyers rather than domestic income levels. Buyers weighing this plot against finished villas should compare the total cost of land plus completion, including construction at current regional rates, before concluding which route offers better value.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plots lie in Sotogrande Costa, part of the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, in the municipality of San Roque. The Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is approximately 0.8 km away as the crow flies, Puerto de Sotogrande 2.7 km, and the beach of La Alcaidesa 4.4 km. Gibraltar airport is roughly 14 km away in a straight line.
The land is intended for a bespoke residential project: either completing one large villa of up to 1,450 m² or developing two individual homes. A structure of around 700 m² already exists and requires completion and renovation. Plans include a private tennis or padel court. South-facing orientation, private garden, private pool and private parking are listed features of the intended configuration.
This is not a turn-key new-build development. The site contains a partially built villa dating from a project registered in 1970, and completion works are required. An extension licence for the existing structure has been granted, and the original architectural plans are available. Delivery and completion dates are indicative and depend on the buyer's own construction programme.
The property is offered as land with an unfinished structure, not as a habitable home. There are no bedrooms or bathrooms in usable condition. Renovation and completion are required before any residential use. No developer, warranty scheme or standard finishing package applies. Buyers must arrange their own construction contractor, and actual costs and timelines for completion fall outside the asking price.
This property suits a buyer with the budget and appetite to manage a construction project rather than move into a finished home. Recognisable situations include: an international household wanting to create a large family villa to its own specification in an established golf setting; a buyer with architectural plans of their own who values the granted extension licence and the original documentation as a head start; and a developer or private investor considering the two-plot split into individual homes. It also fits buyers specifically drawn to Sotogrande Costa for its mature setting, its proximity to Valderrama, La Cañada and Real Club de Golf, and its position 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. It does not suit buyers seeking immediate occupation, a turn-key finish, or a managed new-build purchase with developer warranties. The need to complete and renovate the existing structure means the realistic timeline runs through design, construction and licensing phases. Families may weigh the presence of Sotogrande International School's two campuses within about 4.5 km, while all buyers should budget separately for completion costs and confirm the current status of the granted licence with their legal representative.
Because this is land with an unfinished structure, there is no finishing level to assess in the conventional sense. The existing villa shell of around 700 m² dates from a project registered in 1970 and is partially built; photographic material shows unfinished interiors and a building that has been exposed to the elements, which has practical implications for what can be retained versus rebuilt. The condition is listed as requiring renovation. What the property does offer is documentary substance: the original architectural plans, a maximum buildability of 1,450 m² across the 3,700 m² of land, and a licence for extending the existing structure that has already been granted. Around 600 m² of additional construction remains available. Plans also exist for a private tennis or padel court. For a buyer, the technical assessment should focus on the structural state of the existing shell, the validity and scope of the extension licence, and the cost difference between completing the original design and starting largely anew. These questions are better answered through a surveyor and a local architect than through marketing material. No developer specification, materials package or warranty applies; every finish, system and installation would be determined by the buyer's own project.
The asking price is fixed at €2,000,000 for the two adjoining plots together, including the partially built structure of around 700 m² and the granted extension licence. This is an existing property transaction, not a price-list new-build project, so no unit variation or from-pricing applies. What varies is the buyer's development choice: completing a single villa using the remaining buildability of roughly 600 m², or pursuing two separate homes, subject to the applicable permissions. Additional costs for construction, professional fees and taxes sit outside the asking price and should be established with local advisers before any commitment.
Sotogrande Costa is the low-density, leafy western section of the wider Sotogrande estate, characterised by wide plots, mature trees and quiet cul-de-sacs rather than apartment blocks. Daily life here is oriented around private space: gardens, pools and sports facilities at home, with the golf courses, marina and beach as nearby destinations. The plots occupy a private position at the end of a no-through road, which limits traffic to residents. The immediate surroundings consist of the tree line and green belt of Sotogrande Costa, with mountain and country views rather than a built-up streetscape. For a buyer completing a villa, the daily rhythm would be unhurried: mornings in a south-facing garden, rounds or practice at one of the three golf clubs within about 3 km, and trips to Puerto de Sotogrande for waterside cafés and shops. Everyday services are close at hand; within 2 km there is a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, and the wider San Roque area counts thirteen primary schools, five secondary schools and two health centres. The area remains residential year-round rather than seasonal, which affects how the neighbourhood feels outside the summer months.
The plots sit at approximately 39 m above sea level on terrain with a gradient to the beach of 0.9 per cent, meaning the surroundings are essentially flat and easy to navigate on foot or by bicycle. Puerto de Sotogrande lies 2.7 km away as the crow flies and functions as the social hub of the estate, with marina-side dining and shops. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.4 km in a straight line, with actual road distances somewhat longer. Golf is the defining amenity: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.8 km away, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km, and the Valderrama course 3.1 km. Sports options include Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km and Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km. Within 2 km of the plots there is a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, covering basic daily needs without leaving the immediate area. Public transport exists in the wider area with nine lines and eight stops, but as in most of Sotogrande, daily life is structured around the car.
The map shows the plots in their cul-de-sac setting in Sotogrande Costa. Useful reference points include Real Club de Golf at under a kilometre, the marina and polo club within about 3 km, and Playa de La Alcaidesa on the coast. All distances shown are straight-line measurements; road distances are somewhat longer.

Sotogrande occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, about 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. Its position places it closer to the Atlantic-influenced Strait than to the marquee resorts around Marbella, 45 km away, which shows in its greener, quieter and lower-density character. Algeciras at 21 km is the nearest large working town, while Jerez de la Frontera lies 87 km to the northwest. For buyers comparing the coast east and west of Gibraltar, Sotogrande trades Marbella's retail and nightlife for estate living, golf and polo.
By car, Gibraltar airport is roughly 14 km away in a straight line, making it the closest international gateway, while Malaga-Costa del Sol airport lies about 84 km away and serves a far wider range of routes. Algeciras, with approximately 122,000 inhabitants, is 21 km away as the crow flies, and Marbella about 45 km. Within the estate itself, the marina (2.7 km), the beach (4.4 km) and three golf clubs (0.8 to 3.1 km) cover most leisure needs. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is 1.8 km away. Public transport is limited to nine lines with eight stops in the area, so a car is effectively necessary for daily errands, school runs and airport transfers. Road access to the A-7 and AP-7 corridor connects Sotogrande eastwards to the Costa del Sol and westwards to Cádiz province.

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 18.5 °C and a swimming season of five months during which sea water reaches at least 20 °C. The plots stand at 39 m elevation with a slope towards the beach of under one per cent, so the terrain is flat. Sotogrande itself stretches some 25 square kilometres from the Mediterranean back into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, giving the area its mix of cork forests, green fairways and sea views, with the Rock of Gibraltar and, on clear days, the Moroccan coast visible in the distance. The immediate outlook from the site is over the tree line and natural belt of Sotogrande Costa, with mountain and country views recorded as features. Building works on a project of this scale would benefit from the long dry season typical of the western Costa del Sol, though summer heat is a factor to account for in construction planning.

The nearest beach is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.4 km away as the crow flies. The recreational identity of the area, however, centres on golf: three clubs lie within about 3 km of the plots, including Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km and the internationally known Valderrama course at 3.1 km. Santa María Polo Club, 2.3 km away, hosts high-goal polo during the summer season and is one of the estate's social anchors. Other sports facilities include Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte (2.1 km) and the Piscina Loma del Rey swimming pool (4.7 km). In total the area records 66 sports facilities, reflecting how strongly the local lifestyle is organised around active leisure. Puerto de Sotogrande at 2.7 km adds sailing and waterside recreation, with 7 hotels and just over 1,000 beds in the area indicating modest tourism pressure compared with the busier stretches of the Costa del Sol further east.
