This detached villa in Sotogrande, in the municipality of San Roque (Cádiz), is offered key-ready with a fixed asking price of €2,350,000. The property has a built area of 557 m² on a plot of 1,370 m², with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private pool and a private garden. The villa sits in the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, roughly 25 km northeast of Gibraltar, where sea views, cork forests and some of Spain's most established golf courses meet. The original construction dates from 1970, and the property is presented in a renovated, contemporary condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Sotogrande forms part of San Roque and stretches from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away as the crow flies, with La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama at 3.1 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km away in a straight line; the beach at La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km.
The villa offers four bedrooms, five bathrooms and 557 m² of living space across a 1,370 m² plot. Outdoor facilities include a private pool, a landscaped garden, covered and uncovered terraces and a central courtyard with an olive tree. Air conditioning and a garage are present. The kitchen is partially fitted; the property is sold unfurnished.
This is an existing home, not a new-build development. The original construction was completed in 1970 and the property is currently key-ready. The asking price of €2,350,000 is a fixed price, not a starting price. Delivery dates for the transaction itself are indicative and depend on the purchase process and notarial scheduling.
The property is offered without furniture. The kitchen is only partially fitted. The documentation lists no information about community fees, annual property tax (IBI) or waste collection charges; these running costs must be confirmed with the seller. Details such as terrace measurements, pool dimensions and parking capacity require verification before purchase.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the area permanently benefits from the four bedrooms, five bathrooms and the proximity of two international school campuses within 4.5 km, plus thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools in the wider region. Buyers seeking a second home with generous space for family and guests will find the 557 m² built area and the multiple outdoor zones, courtyard, garden, covered terrace and pool, suited to extended stays and entertaining. Golf players form an obvious group: three courses, including Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande and Valderrama, lie within 3.1 km as the crow flies. Buyers who value privacy and low-density surroundings over direct seafront living will recognise the character of Sotogrande: an estate of large plots, cork oaks and green fairways rather than apartment blocks. The flat terrain and the presence of two health centres in the municipality also make the location workable for older buyers who want a walkable environment. Less suitable is the property for buyers who want furnished moving-in readiness, the home is sold unfurnished with a partially fitted kitchen, or for those dependent on public transport, since the estate is primarily geared to car use despite nine bus lines and eight stops in the area. Buyers focused on new-build guarantees should note the 1970 origin of the construction and have the current condition assessed technically.
The interior finish is contemporary and consistent throughout. Floors are laid in light-coloured tiling, walls are white, and warm wooden accents provide contrast in joinery and detail. Large-format wall and floor tiles appear in the bathrooms, where walk-in showers with glass screens, modern vanity units and illuminated mirrors are fitted. The aesthetic is minimalist, with neutral colours and integrated details rather than decorative excess. Glazing plays a structural role in the design: large windows bring daylight deep into the plan and create a visual link between living spaces, the courtyard, the garden and the pool. The kitchen is partially fitted, meaning appliances and worktops are present to a degree that must be verified on viewing; buyers intending intensive cooking use should check exactly which equipment is included. The condition of the property is listed as excellent, which in the context of a 1970 construction implies that renovation work has been carried out. Technical systems such as the air conditioning, electrical installation, plumbing and insulation are not documented in detail in the listing data, so an independent technical survey remains advisable before purchase. Outdoor areas are landscaped and paved, with the olive-tree courtyard as the central element, and a garage is included on the plot. Running costs for pool maintenance, garden upkeep and utilities depend on usage and are not specified in the available data.
The asking price is €2,350,000, fixed, for the villa in its current key-ready state. This concerns an existing property; there is no price list with unit variation, as would be the case with a new-build project. Within Sotogrande, comparable offerings show a wide price range: apartments and smaller homes start from around €549,000, while new-build villas such as Villa Azahar San Roque Club are listed from €2,390,000. This villa therefore sits at the upper end of the local market, which corresponds with its built area, plot size and location relative to the golf courses. The price excludes purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and registry fees.
Daily life in this villa revolves around space, both inside and out. With 557 m² built and a plot of 1,370 m², the house allows separate zones for living, sleeping and receiving guests without the rooms overlapping functionally. The south-facing orientation means the main living areas and terraces receive sun throughout the day, while large glazed openings connect the interior with the garden, pool and courtyard. The centre of the home is formed by the courtyard with its olive tree, a sheltered outdoor room that works in summer as well as in the milder months. The immediate surroundings are defined by Sotogrande itself: a private residential estate of some 25 km² with a mix of permanent residents and seasonal visitors. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is within walking distance at 0.8 km as the crow flies, and the marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km away, provides restaurants and moorings. Everyday amenities are close by: within 2 km there is a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist. Two international school campuses lie 3.5 and 4.5 km away, relevant for families considering year-round residence. The rhythm of the area changes with the seasons. The polo season at Santa María Polo Club (2.3 km) and the golf calendar bring activity in the warmer months, while winter remains quiet and mild, with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C. A car is practical for most errands, although the immediate neighbourhood is walkable. The beach at La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km as the crow flies, and the terrain between the house and the coast is flat, with an average gradient of 0.9%.
Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, located in the municipality of San Roque in the province of Cádiz. The estate stretches some 25 km² from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, which gives the area its characteristic mixture of sea views, hills, cork forests and fairways, with the Rock of Gibraltar and, on clear days, Morocco visible in the distance. Within 2 km of the property, daily amenities include a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, a practical base for routine errands. Puerto de Sotogrande, the marina 2.7 km away as the crow flies, functions as the social centre of the estate with its restaurants, shops and moorings. For sport, the density of facilities is high: 66 sports facilities are registered in the area, including Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and a public pool at 4.7 km. The municipality counts some 34,310 inhabitants (INE, 2025), with 849 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated property market. The area receives a modest volume of tourism, seven hotels with 1,017 beds, which keeps the seasonal pressure limited compared with mass-resort towns further east along the coast. Healthcare is covered by two health centres, and education options within the estate's orbit include the two international school campuses mentioned above.

Sotogrande occupies the westernmost end of the Costa del Sol, in the province of Cádiz, where the coast transitions into the Campo de Gibraltar region. Marbella lies 45 km to the east and Algeciras 21 km to the west, with Gibraltar roughly 25 km southwest of the estate. This position places the area closer to Gibraltar Airport than to Málaga, which shapes both the buyer profile, traditionally strong British representation, and the travel logistics. Within the region, Sotogrande competes primarily on low density, golf and polo facilities and large plots, rather than on beachfront entertainment, distinguishing it from the apartment-dominated stretches around Marbella and Estepona.
The villa is reachable primarily by car, which is the standard mode of transport in Sotogrande. Gibraltar Airport lies approximately 14 km away in a straight line, making it the closest option for flights to and from the United Kingdom. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 84 km away as the crow flies and offers a much wider route network; the road journey along the A-7/AP-7 corridor is considerably longer than the straight-line figure suggests. Public transport exists in the form of nine bus lines with eight stops in the area, but frequencies are limited and geared to local demand rather than commuter timetables. Key distances, measured in a straight line: the beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km, Puerto de Sotogrande 2.7 km, Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande 0.8 km, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km and Valderrama 3.1 km. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is 1.8 km away, which is relevant for EV owners. Larger towns in the region are Algeciras (21 km, about 122,000 inhabitants), Marbella (45 km, about 148,000) and Jerez de la Frontera (87 km, about 213,000). The terrain towards the beach is flat, with an average gradient of 0.9%, which benefits cycling as an alternative for local trips.

The climate data for the area shows an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, consistent with the western Costa del Sol and the Campo de Gibraltar. The swimming season, the period in which sea water reaches at least 20°C, lasts about five months, roughly from late May to early October. This places the area between the cooler Atlantic-influenced Costa de la Luz to the west and the warmer eastern Costa del Sol around Málaga and Marbella. The property stands at approximately 39 m above sea level on flat terrain, so no steep access roads or stair climbs are involved in reaching the house or the coast. The natural surroundings are a defining feature: the estate borders cork forests and the Sierra Almenara foothills, and the green of the golf courses forms part of the everyday view. For residents, this means a landscape of mature trees and open fairways rather than dense coastal construction. The microclimate is maritime, with the proximity of both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic moderating summer heat; the listing data does not include specific sun-hour figures for this location, so no precise numbers are stated here.

The nearest beach is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.4 km away as the crow flies, a long open stretch of coast between Sotogrande and the village of La Alcaidesa. Puerto de Sotogrande, at 2.7 km, offers the nearest marina with direct access to the water and a small sailing community. No Blue Flag designation for the specific beaches is included in the available data, so this is not stated. Golf is the dominant recreation in the immediate vicinity. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, one of Spain's older championship courses, is 0.8 km away; Club de Golf La Cañada is 2.5 km; and Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup, lies 3.1 km from the property. This concentration of courses within a three-kilometre radius is exceptional along the Spanish coast and defines much of the estate's identity. Other sporting options include Santa María Polo Club (2.3 km), whose summer high-goal season is a fixed point in the social calendar, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte (2.1 km) for general training, and Piscina Loma del Rey (4.7 km) as a public swimming option. In total, 66 sports facilities are registered in the area, covering everything from padel to equestrian activities.

Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, Spain. It is a private community in the municipality of San Roque. Located 25 km (16 mi) northeast of Gibraltar, Sotogrande is composed of a 25-square-kilometre (9.7 sq mi) stretch from the Mediterranean Sea back into the foothills of Sierra Almenara, providing contrasting views of sea, hills, cork forests and green fairways, including the Rock of Gibraltar and Morocco.

Within Sotogrande and the wider San Roque area, the supply side of the market is broad. Comparable listings include Adel San Roque and Serenity Golf Homes, both starting from €549,000, and Villa Azahar San Roque Club, a new-build villa project listed from €2,390,000. Against this background, the fixed asking price of €2,350,000 for this villa places it directly alongside the new-build villa segment, while offering a substantially larger built area, 557 m², than what typically enters the market at the €549,000 entry level, where apartments and smaller townhouses dominate. The relevant trade-off for buyers is between an existing property with a 1970 construction origin and modern new-build projects with current building standards and developer warranties. The counterweight is land and location: a 1,370 m² plot within walking distance (0.8 km as the crow flies) of Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is scarce in an estate where most golf-adjacent land was developed decades ago. Regionally, Sotogrande differs from the Marbella, Estepona corridor 45 to 60 km east. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, offers a denser commercial and nightlife infrastructure, higher transaction volumes and a broader luxury apartment market. Sotogrande, by contrast, is structured around large plots, private residential roads, golf, polo and the marina, with a permanent population that keeps the area liveable year-round. Algeciras, 21 km west, functions as the practical working town of the region, port, industry and shopping, but plays little role in the residential appeal of the estate itself. Gibraltar, roughly 25 km away, adds an economic dimension through its employment base and airport. For buyers comparing the western Costa del Sol, the choice between Sotogrande and Marbella generally comes down to density preference: space and quiet against variety and services.
