A key-ready detached villa in La Reserva de Sotogrande, one of Andalusia's most established private residential estates within the municipality of San Roque. The property offers 963 m² of living space on a 2,960 m² plot, with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a heated 53 m² pool and a basement garage with car lift for four vehicles. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away as the crow flies, and Valderrama 3.1 km. The asking price is fixed at €4,250,000, with completion indicated for 2026.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in La Reserva de Sotogrande, a private urbanisation in San Roque, Cádiz. Golf is the dominant feature of the surroundings: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.8 km away in a straight line, La Cañada 2.5 km and Valderrama 3.1 km. Puerto de Sotogrande marina lies 2.7 km distant. The setting is suburban, within a 25 km² estate stretching from the Mediterranean into the Sierra Almenara foothills.
The house is arranged for multi-generational or guest use: five bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom on the upper floor, a wheelchair-friendly lift serving all levels, a study/bedroom on the ground floor, and a cinema/games room in the basement. Outdoor living centres on the 53 m² heated pool, terraces and a chill-out area with bioethanol fire pit. A laundry chute and separate laundry/pantry room reduce daily effort on the stairs.
The villa is new construction and offered key-ready, with completion indicated for 2026, a date that remains indicative. The design is described as ecological, with 24 photovoltaic panels, two 10 kW batteries, aerothermal climate control and highly insulated floors, walls and roof. Kitchen and bathroom images serve as examples; final material choices rest with the buyer, which means the finishing stage still involves client decisions.
The property does not offer direct beach access: Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km away as the crow flies. It is not within walking distance of a town centre, so daily life depends on the car. Public transport is limited, 9 lines and 8 stops serve the wider area. The asking price is fixed at €4,250,000; no price list or unit variation applies. Delivery timing is indicative and subject to construction scheduling.
This property fits households that need genuine multi-bedroom capacity rather than nominal guest rooms: five en-suite bedrooms plus a ground-floor study/bedroom, a lift and step-free ground-floor facilities make it workable for families with older relatives or owners planning to age in place. The wheelchair-friendly lift and the layout of the ground floor are concrete features, not marketing claims. It also suits buyers for whom energy autonomy matters. Twenty-four photovoltaic panels, two 10 kW batteries, an electric car charger and high insulation levels reduce dependence on grid electricity, relevant for a large house that will be cooled in summer and occasionally heated in winter. The profile matches a second home used intensively, possibly with staff or frequent guests: the basement garage with car lift, two storage rooms, cinema/games room and outside-accessible technical room all support seasonal occupation. Golf players benefit directly, three courses, including Valderrama, lie within 3.1 km as the crow flies. It fits less well for buyers seeking walkable daily life. The beach is 4.4 km away in a straight line, the marina 2.7 km, and public transport is thin. Without a car, the location is impractical. Buyers wanting an apartment lifestyle with shared pools and on-site services should look at the comparable projects in the area instead. The fixed €4,250,000 price also places it in a segment where transaction volume is limited; resale timing in this bracket is typically longer than in the mainstream market.
The technical specification is documented at component level, which is uncommon and allows direct verification. Windows use Planistar glass in a 5+5/16/4+4 configuration, a solar-control laminated glazing that reduces heat gain while maintaining light transmission, a practical choice for south-facing rooms in Cádiz. Floors inside and out are porcelain from Grespania in 600×600, 800×800 and 1200×1200 formats; bathroom walls carry Coverlam plates of 1200×2700, a large-format surface with minimal grouting that eases maintenance. The kitchen is fully installed with Coverlam fronts and aluminium-frame doors, with appliances from Bosch or AEG. Switches, sockets and dimmers come from Jung or Niessen, established German and Spanish brands in the electrical-fittings segment. The pivoting entrance door and one-metre-wide interior doors are ceiling height, which indicates a custom joinery package rather than a catalogue standard. The energy system is the most substantial technical element: 24 photovoltaic panels, two batteries of 10 kW each, aerothermal climate control providing hot and cold air conditioning, and an electric car charger in the basement garage. Floors, walls and roof are described as highly insulated. A fireplace in the living room provides supplementary heat for the mild Andalusian winter. Two caveats apply. First, kitchen and bathroom images are stated to be examples; final selection rests with the client, so the delivered finish depends on choices still to be made. Second, the completion date of 2026 is indicative. Buyers should confirm which specifications are contractual and which are indicative before signing.
This is an existing, key-ready villa with a fixed asking price of €4,250,000, not a from-price within a unit mix. The price reflects the property's scale: 963 m² of built living area, a 2,960 m² plot, five en-suite bedrooms, a heated 53 m² pool, a car lift and substantial renewable-energy installation. For context within the same area, comparable new-build projects in Sotogrande start at considerably lower figures (Altara Alcaidesa from €341,000, Atria from €423,000, Adel San Roque from €549,000), but those are apartment- or smaller-villa developments rather than completed detached villas of this size. Completion is indicatively stated as 2026; buyers should verify the exact handover date and remaining finishing decisions with the seller.
Daily life in this villa revolves around a clear separation between reception, private and service zones. The ground floor opens with a double-height entrance hall leading to a distributor with a study/bedroom overlooking a pond, a guest toilet, a laundry/pantry room and the lift. The open-plan kitchen connects through sliding walls of glass to the dining and living areas, which in turn open onto terraces, the 53 m² heated pool and the chill-out with fire pit. This layout allows the ground floor to function almost entirely at garden level during the warmer months. The first floor holds the master bedroom with dressing room, en-suite bathroom and private terrace, plus four further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom; three of these bathrooms open onto small terraces. Large windows throughout are oriented to keep the interior bright, with the building described as east, south, south-west and west facing, in practice, morning light at the front and afternoon and evening sun at the pool side. The basement adds a four-car garage entered via a car lift, two large storage rooms, a guest toilet, a games/cinema room and a technical room accessible from outside. The lift connects all three levels, so groceries, luggage and mobility needs are handled without the stairs. The setting is suburban and quiet, inside a gated estate where the nearest neighbours are villas and fairways rather than apartment blocks. Shops, schools and the marina are a short drive, not a walk, which shapes the daily rhythm: mornings at home or on the golf course, afternoons at the beach or marina in season.
Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, a 25 km² estate within the municipality of San Roque stretching from the Mediterranean back into the Sierra Almenara foothills. The immediate surroundings alternate between sea views, cork forests and green fairways, with the Rock of Gibraltar and, on clear days, Morocco visible to the south. Daily provision within 2 km is modest but sufficient: one pharmacy, two banks, one café and a dentist. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km as the crow flies, concentrates restaurants and leisure. Education is a structural strength of the area, thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools serve the wider municipality, including Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus at 3.5 km and its main site at 4.5 km. Two health centres cover routine care. The area is quiet by design. Gated urbanisations, low building density and a year-round population supported by 849 housing transactions per year mean the estate does not empty outside the summer months, though activity clearly peaks in season and around the autumn polo calendar at Santa María Polo Club, 2.3 km away. An IONITY fast-charging station at 1.8 km serves electric-car travel along the coast. A car is essential; distances are manageable but not walkable.
The map shows the villa's position within La Reserva de Sotogrande, close to the Real Club de Golf fairways and roughly midway between the marina and the Alcaidesa beach. Gibraltar's outline and the Moroccan coast frame the southern horizon, with Marbella and Algeciras marking the regional axis.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sotogrande occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in Cádiz province at the border with Málaga's coastal strip. Algeciras, 21 km away, is the working port and rail hub; Marbella, 45 km east, marks the start of the denser resort coast; Jerez de la Frontera lies 87 km to the north-west. The estate's scale, 25 km², the largest private residential development in Andalusia, gives it an identity distinct from the apartment-dominated stretches around Marbella and Estepona. Golf, polo and the international school community define its position in the regional hierarchy: lower density, larger plots, and a year-round rather than purely seasonal population.
Distances are straight-line; road distances are longer. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa lies 4.4 km away, and the gradient from the villa to the coast is a flat 0.9%, so cycling is a realistic option. Puerto de Sotogrande marina is 2.7 km distant, Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande 0.8 km, and Valderrama, one of Europe's most recognised courses, 3.1 km. Air access is a defining advantage of this western Costa del Sol corner: Gibraltar Airport is roughly 14 km away in a straight line, while Málaga-Costa del Sol sits at about 84 km, giving a choice between a short hop and a full international hub. Algeciras, with around 122,000 inhabitants, is 21 km away for rail and port connections; Marbella is 45 km and Jerez de la Frontera 87 km. Public transport exists but is limited: 9 lines and 8 stops serve the area, oriented mainly toward San Roque and Algeciras rather than intra-estate circulation. In practice, all journeys, school runs, shopping, golf, beach, are made by car, with the villa's four-car basement garage and on-site charger accommodating that reality.

The climate data indicates a temperate Mediterranean pattern: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of five months during which sea water holds at 20°C or above, roughly May through October. The villa's heated pool extends usable swimming beyond the natural season, which is the practical difference between a heated and an unheated pool at this latitude. The site sits at 39 m above sea level with a 0.9% gradient to the coast, flat terrain, without the stairs and steep access roads that characterise much of the Costa del Sol's hillside housing. The estate's position against the Sierra Almenara foothills gives the inland parts a green, cork-forested backdrop unusual for the region, while sea views remain available toward Gibraltar and Morocco. For year-round living, the combination of aerothermal climate control, a fireplace for the cooler months and solar-control glazing matches the climate: hot summers that reward insulation and Planistar glass, mild winters where supplementary heating suffices. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, leaving long dry stretches that suit outdoor living on the terraces.

The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km away as the crow flies, a short drive rather than a walk, but reachable in minutes on flat terrain. The Sotogrande coast also includes long sandy stretches and the marina beach near Puerto de Sotogrande at 2.7 km. Golf is the area's principal recreation and the villa's strongest locational card. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande sits 0.8 km away, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km, and Valderrama 3.1 km, a concentration of championship-standard courses that few Spanish locations can match. The Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km hosts high-goal polo in summer, drawing an international crowd and animating the season. Sports infrastructure in the wider area counts 66 facilities, including Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and the Piscina Loma del Rey swimming pool at 4.7 km. Sailing and water sports operate from the marina. Tourism infrastructure, 7 hotels with 1,017 beds, remains modest for the population, which keeps the area quieter than resort towns further east along the coast.

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 itself, this villa occupies a different segment from the area's newer apartment-led projects. Altara Alcaidesa starts at €341,000, Atria at €423,000 and Adel San Roque at €549,000, price points associated with apartments or smaller units aimed at second-home buyers and investors. Those projects offer shared facilities and lower running costs, but not the plot size, privacy or five-en-suite-bedroom capacity of a detached villa. This property's fixed €4,250,000 asking price reflects built area of 963 m², a 2,960 m² plot and a technical package, photovoltaics, batteries, aerothermia, car lift, that apartment developments do not carry. Set against the wider Costa del Sol, Sotogrande's western Cádiz position trades proximity to Málaga airport (about 84 km straight-line) for closeness to Gibraltar (roughly 14 km), a smaller airport with UK-oriented flights. Compared with Marbella, 45 km east, the area offers lower density, larger plots and a golf-and-polo identity rather than a resort-and-nightlife one. Compared with Algeciras, 21 km west, it is residential rather than industrial and port-driven. The estate's fundamentals support the segment: 849 housing transactions per year, thirteen primary schools, five secondary schools and an international school community give it year-round substance. The market-specific consideration is liquidity: at this price level, the buyer pool is international and limited, and resale typically takes longer than in the sub-€600,000 segment where the comparable projects operate. Buyers comparing this villa against a Valderrama-adjacent or beachfront position should also weigh the 4.4 km straight-line distance to the nearest beach against the 0.8 km proximity to Real Club de Golf.
