A five-bedroom Mediterranean-style villa of 509 m² on a 2,093 m² plot in Sotogrande, San Roque, offered as a completed, key-ready home with a fixed asking price of €3,390,000. The property was built in 1970, is in good condition, and includes four bathrooms, a private pool, a games room, sea views and fully furnished accommodation. Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, stretching from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, with golf courses, marina access and international schools within a short radius.
Within Sotogrande, this property occupies the established resale segment rather than the new-build market. Comparable listings in the area illustrate the spread: Adel San Roque and Serenity Golf Homes both start from €549,000, while Villa Azahar San Roque Club opens at €2,390,000. Those figures are from-prices on new projects, where the final cost of an equivalent specification typically rises; the €3,390,000 asked here is a fixed price for a completed, furnished property with established gardens and a pool. The distinction matters when comparing budgets: a new-build from-price buys an unfinished base unit, whereas this asking price covers a finished home. Regionally, Sotogrande differs from the Marbella market 45 km east. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, offers a denser mix of beach clubs, retail and nightlife, and generally higher price points in its prime zones. Sotogrande, part of a municipality of about 34,000 inhabitants, keeps a lower profile: private roads, cork forests, golf and polo rather than resort tourism, with only seven hotels and 1,017 beds in the area. The western location brings Gibraltar Airport within roughly 14 km straight-line, an advantage for UK-based buyers that Marbella cannot match, though Malaga Airport (about 84 km) remains the main hub for broader European routes. Property in this corner of the coast tends to trade on space, privacy and greenery rather than beachfront proximity, and this house, 4.4 km from the sea but adjacent to three golf courses, is a clear example of that pattern. Annual housing transactions in the area number around 849, indicating an active but not high-volume market, which typically means longer selling times and steadier prices than in the busier eastern Costa del Sol. Buyers should treat all delivery and transaction dates as indicative and verify community rules, since Sotogrande operates as a private development with its own regulations.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in Sotogrande, a private community within the municipality of San Roque, 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away as the crow flies, with Valderrama at 3.1 km and Puerto de Sotogrande marina at 2.7 km. Daily amenities within 2 km include a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist.
With five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 509 m² of living space, the house suits households that need generous accommodation and separate zones. A dedicated office, games room, storage room and walk-in wardrobe are present. Outdoor living centres on a private pool, covered terraces and a solarium with sea views.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1970 and is available key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Features such as air conditioning, double glazing and a fireplace are already installed, and the property is sold fully furnished.
The property is a semi-detached house, not a detached villa, and shares at least one wall with a neighbouring home. It was built in 1970, so construction, installations and finishes date from an earlier era, although the overall condition is recorded as good. The nearest beach lies 4.4 km away as the crow flies, so this is not a beachfront residence.
This house fits a buyer seeking a finished, spacious family residence in a low-density, private community, with the option to move in without undertaking construction work. Households with children may value the proximity of Sotogrande International School's two campuses at 3.5 km and 4.5 km, alongside thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools in the wider area. Golf players are served by Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km, La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama at 3.1 km, one of Europe's best-known courses. Buyers who travel frequently, particularly to the UK, benefit from Gibraltar Airport roughly 14 km away as the crow flies, with Malaga-Costa del Sol at about 84 km for wider European connections. The property also suits those who want a second home that functions year-round: five bedrooms and separate living zones accommodate visiting family and guests, while the games room and office add flexibility. It is less suited to buyers specifically seeking beachfront living, given the 4.4 km straight-line distance to Playa de La Alcaidesa, or those wanting a brand-new building with current construction standards. The 1970 origin means the property should be assessed on its actual condition and installations during any survey.
The villa is documented in good condition and is delivered fully furnished, which removes one of the usual steps in relocating to Spain. Interior features include wood flooring, fitted wardrobes, a walk-in wardrobe and double glazing throughout. Climate control combines air conditioning units with a fireplace, covering both summer cooling and winter heating, although the 1970 construction date means the insulation standard and system efficiency should be verified during a technical survey rather than assumed. The kitchen is fully fitted with a central island and modern appliances, and the photographed interiors show a modernised bathroom with double basins and a freestanding bath, a dining room with ocean views, and an open-plan living-dining area. Beyond the main accommodation, the house contains a games room with a pool table, a dedicated office, and a storage room. Outside, the finishing includes covered terraces, a private terrace, a solarium, glass balustrades, a landscaped lawn and a private swimming pool positioned to face the sea. No energy performance certificate details or cadastral references are reproduced here; both should be requested from the seller. As with any resale property of this age, buyers are advised to commission an independent technical inspection covering structure, electrics, plumbing and damp before committing, and to treat all delivery and condition statements as indicative until verified on site.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €3,390,000 as an existing, completed home, not as a new-build with a from-price. This covers a furnished, key-ready villa of 509 m² on a 2,093 m² plot, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private pool and established gardens. Within Sotogrande's own market, the price sits above new-build entry points such as Adel San Roque and Serenity Golf Homes (both from €549,000) and below the upper band represented by Villa Azahar San Roque Club (from €2,390,000 for a base unit). The area records around 849 housing transactions per year, an active but moderate volume for a market of this kind. Delivery dates and transaction timelines are always indicative and should be verified with the seller.
Daily life in this house revolves around space and outdoor living. The main floor combines a lounge with fireplace, a separate dining area and a fitted kitchen with a central island, with large glass doors opening onto terraces that face the Mediterranean. Mornings can begin on a covered terrace or the solarium; the private pool sits at the centre of a sea-facing terrace with a landscaped lawn, sun loungers and glass balustrades. Elevated terraces capture wider coastal views, including, on clear days, the Rock of Gibraltar and the North African coastline. The layout supports a rhythm in which indoor and outdoor areas are used interchangeably across the seasons: the fireplace and enclosed rooms in winter, the pool, gardens and alfresco dining from spring through autumn. Practically, the setting is quiet and residential. Sotogrande is a private development with controlled roads, cork forests and fairways rather than resort crowds, the area counts only seven hotels and 1,017 beds, so tourism pressure is limited compared with Marbella 45 km east. Within 2 km there is a pharmacy, a dentist, two banks and a café, while Sotogrande's marina district at 2.7 km offers a broader mix of restaurants and services. A car is the practical mode of transport; public transport exists but is limited to nine lines and eight stops. The average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a five-month swimming season frame a year-round living pattern rather than a summer-only one.
The immediate environment is defined by Sotogrande's private-estate character: white roads lined with pine and cork oak, fairways, and a deliberate separation from through-traffic. The house lies within 2 km of everyday amenities, pharmacy, dentist, bank, café, which covers routine errands without leaving the estate. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km as the crow flies, functions as the social centre of the area with waterside restaurants and chandleries. Sport is unusually well provided for: the data lists 66 sports facilities in the area, including Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, a swimming pool complex at 4.7 km and a municipal sports centre at 2.1 km, in addition to the three golf courses within 3.1 km. Education and healthcare infrastructure, 18 schools in total and two health centres, mean the area supports permanent residence, not only holiday use. Electric-vehicle owners have an IONITY fast-charging station 1.8 km away. The terrain is essentially flat, with a gradient of 0.9% toward the sea and an elevation of 39 m, so walking and cycling within the estate are uncomplicated. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km in a straight line, a short drive rather than a walk. Public transport is limited, nine lines and eight stops, so daily life in practice assumes a car.
The map shows the property within Sotogrande's private estate: three golf courses cluster within 3 km, the marina sits 2.7 km southwest toward the sea, and the beach at La Alcaidesa lies 4.4 km to the southeast in a direct line. Gibraltar's coastline is visible roughly 14 km south. All distances are straight-line; road routes are longer.

Sotogrande occupies the far western end of the Costa del Sol, within San Roque municipality in Cádiz province, 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. This positions it closer to the Atlantic-influenced Costa de la Luz and the Strait of Gibraltar than to the Marbella-centred core of the coast 45 km east. The character reflects that: a private, low-density estate of some 25 km² with cork forests and golf, rather than a resort town. Regional reference points are Algeciras (21 km straight-line, roughly 122,000 inhabitants), Marbella (45 km, 148,000) and Jerez de la Frontera (87 km, 213,000).
Accessibility is one of the location's practical strengths. Gibraltar Airport lies roughly 14 km away as the crow flies, with Malaga-Costa del Sol at about 84 km straight-line; road distance and travel time will be longer and depend on traffic. Algeciras, with around 122,000 inhabitants, is 21 km straight-line away and provides rail and port connections. Within the immediate area, the marina (2.7 km), the polo club (2.3 km) and three golf courses (0.8–3.1 km) are all within a few minutes' drive. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, sits 4.4 km in a direct line. On foot or by bike, the flat terrain makes local movement straightforward, though the estate's scale and the limited public transport, nine lines, eight stops, mean a car remains the primary means of transport for shopping, schools and the airport. All distances are straight-line figures; actual road distances are longer.

The climate data points to a mild Mediterranean pattern: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly May to October. The elevation of 39 m and the 0.9% gradient toward the coast mean the property sits on flat, easily usable land rather than a steep hillside, a practical consideration for older residents and for garden use. The natural setting is distinctive for the Costa del Sol: Sotogrande's 25 km² estate runs from the shoreline back into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, combining sea views with cork forests and green fairways. On clear days the panorama includes the Rock of Gibraltar and, across the Strait, the coast of Morocco. The surrounding greenery and low housing density temper summer heat relative to denser coastal towns, and the woodland provides shade and shelter in the cooler months. Rainfall concentrates in winter, as is typical for southern Andalusia, leaving long dry summers suited to outdoor living.

The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km as the crow flies, a dune-backed stretch of coast reached in a few minutes by car. Sotogrande's own beach club and the marina beach at Puerto de Sotogrande (2.7 km) extend the options for seaside days. Recreation, however, is where the area distinguishes itself. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.8 km away, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km and the renowned Valderrama, host of historic professional tournaments, 3.1 km, placing three courses within a five-minute radius. Santa María Polo Club, 2.3 km from the house, hosts an internationally known autumn polo season. Beyond golf and polo, the area counts 66 sports facilities, including Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte (2.1 km) and a public swimming pool at Loma del Rey (4.7 km). For sailing and water sports, the marina provides moorings and services. The setting favours an active outdoor routine built around fairways, polo fields, cycling on flat estate roads and the coast, rather than high-density resort entertainment.
