This detached villa is located in Sotogrande, a private residential development in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz. Built in 2006 and now key-ready, the property offers approximately 360 m² of built area on a 590 m² plot, with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The asking price is fixed at €1,300,000. The home sits within walking distance of La Reserva Golf Clubhouse and includes a separate guest apartment, a private garden, a 50 m² terrace and access to a communal swimming pool. Interiors are in good structural condition but would benefit from renovation, which makes the property of interest to buyers seeking an established home they can modernise to their own specification.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Sotogrande, the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, within the municipality of San Roque. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away as the crow flies, with Valderrama at 3.1 km. Puerto de Sotogrande marina is 2.7 km distant and the nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.4 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km in a straight line.
With six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a separate guest apartment with its own kitchen, and a covered terrace overlooking a private garden, the layout supports extended family living, long stays by visiting guests and year-round residence. Air conditioning with hot and cold settings, underfloor heating and fitted wardrobes are installed. Communal facilities include a swimming pool area and 24-hour security within the development.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 2006 and is available key-ready, with furniture negotiable. The interiors are structurally sound but dated in places; the listed condition combines good general state with renovation required. Buyers should budget separately for modernisation works and treat any completion timeline for such works as indicative.
The property does not offer a private swimming pool; pool access is communal. There is no sea view; the outlook is towards golf course and garden greenery with mountain views. Renovation of the interiors is required, which means immediate move-in in a fully contemporary finish is not possible without works. The plot of 590 m² is modest relative to the built volume, limiting large-scale outdoor expansion.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the area permanently may value the six bedrooms, the proximity of Sotogrande International School 3.5 km away, and the 24-hour security that characterises the estate. Buyers with frequent guests or multi-generational households benefit directly from the self-contained guest apartment, which removes the friction of extended visits. It also suits a buyer who specifically wants an established villa in a golf-oriented setting and is prepared to renovate. The combination of a sound 2006 structure, a plot with mature garden space and a location within walking distance of the La Reserva clubhouse means the works undertaken would add value to an already well-positioned asset, rather than compensating for a weak location. The property is less suitable for buyers seeking a turnkey contemporary finish, a private pool or direct sea views, none of these apply here. It also assumes car use: while nine public transport lines and eight stops exist in the wider area, the low-density layout of Sotogrande makes daily driving the norm. Buyers focused on rental yield should note that the requirement to renovate first delays income generation, and that year-round demand in Sotogrande is driven more by long-term residents and golf tourism than by short summer lets.
The villa was built in 2006 and its technical base reflects that period. Installed systems include air conditioning with both hot and cold settings and underfloor heating, which together cover year-round climate control, relevant given average annual temperatures of 18.5°C and cooler winter months. Fitted wardrobes are present throughout, and the property is offered fully furnished, with furniture negotiable as part of the sale. The listed condition combines two entries: good condition overall, and renovation required. In practice this means the structure, layout and services are functional, while the interior finishes, described in the source material as bright with tiled flooring, reflect early-2000s standards. Kitchens and bathrooms, including the modern bathroom shown in the listing photography, vary in finish level, and buyers should assess each room individually during a viewing. The outdoor construction is more straightforward: a 50 m² terrace, partly covered, opens onto a private garden laid to lawn, photographed with lounge seating and planting. The basement provides additional usable area. Windows and insulation were built to 2006 regulations, which are less demanding than current Spanish building standards; a renovation is a natural moment to improve thermal performance. No energy performance data has been supplied, so buyers should request the existing documentation from the vendor. Overall, the property should be evaluated as a structurally sound home whose value lies partly in its renovation potential.
The asking price is fixed at €1,300,000 for the complete property, including the main residence, the guest apartment, the basement, the private garden and the covered terrace. This is an existing home from 2006, not a new-build development with a price list, so no unit variation applies. Furniture is available by negotiation. Buyers should account for renovation costs on top of the purchase price, as the interiors are listed as requiring modernisation. For context, new-build projects in Sotogrande currently start from approximately €549,000, with comparable villa developments from around €1,014,000, which places this property in the mid-to-upper segment of the local market.
Daily life at this villa centres on the rhythm of a low-density golf community. Mornings can begin on the 50 m² terrace, which looks out over the private garden and the mountains beyond, with the fairways of Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande less than a kilometre away as the crow flies. The main living area is reached through an entrance foyer and distributes across approximately 330 m² of living space, including six bedrooms, three of which were originally en-suite, plus a guest toilet. A basement adds storage or flexible-use space. The separate guest accommodation is one of the more practical elements of the layout: with its own bedroom, bathroom, living area and kitchen, it allows visiting family or friends to stay independently, and could also serve as staff quarters, a work-from-home unit or a rental space where regulations permit. The villa's orientation within the estate means daily errands still require a car: a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist sit within roughly two kilometres, while broader shopping is found towards Sotogrande port or Algeciras, 21 km away in a straight line. Evenings tend to be quiet. The development operates 24-hour security, which shapes the character of the area as calm and controlled rather than lively. Out of the summer season the estate quietens considerably, which suits residents seeking year-round tranquillity over resort-style bustle. The communal pool area functions as a social node in the warmer months, when the swimming season runs approximately five months with sea temperatures above 20°C.
Sotogrande stretches across roughly 25 km² from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, and this villa sits within that estate setting, at an elevation of about 39 metres. The immediate surroundings combine golf fairways, cork forests and low-rise residential streets; views from the terrace run towards the mountains, with the Rock of Gibraltar visible from parts of the estate. Daily provision within a two-kilometre radius is limited but functional: one pharmacy, two banks, one café and a dentist. Larger shopping, healthcare beyond the two local health centres, and cultural amenities require trips to Algeciras, 21 km away as the crow flies, or Marbella at 45 km. Education is a relative strength of the area, with 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools in the wider municipality and two campuses of Sotogrande International School within 4.5 km. The area is quiet by design. Tourism infrastructure exists, seven hotels with just over a thousand beds, but the estate's character is residential rather than resort-based. Housing turnover in the municipality runs at approximately 849 transactions per year, indicating an active but not fast-moving market. A car is essential; the 9 public transport lines and 8 stops serve the broader San Roque area rather than providing convenient estate-internal connections.
The map shows the villa's position within the Sotogrande estate, close to the La Reserva sector. Golf courses at 0.8, 2.5 and 3.1 km, the marina at 2.7 km and La Alcaidesa beach at 4.4 km frame the immediate surroundings, with Gibraltar's coastline and the mountains of North Africa visible to the south on clear days.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sotogrande occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the province of Cádiz, 25 km northeast of Gibraltar and administratively part of San Roque. This position places it closer to Gibraltar Airport (14 km straight-line) than to Malaga (84 km), and it sits at the transition between the built-up Marbella corridor and the greener, lower-density Cadiz coast. Marbella is 45 km away, Algeciras 21 km and Jerez de la Frontera 87 km. The result is a residential market oriented towards golf, polo and estate living rather than high-rise tourism.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, 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 realistic. Puerto de Sotogrande marina is 2.7 km from the property and functions as the local hub for dining, mooring and waterfront leisure. Golf access is a defining feature: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.8 km away, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km and Valderrama, one of Europe's most noted courses, 3.1 km. Airports: Gibraltar (GIB) is approximately 14 km in a straight line, making it the practical gateway with short-haul connections; Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) is roughly 84 km away and offers the widest route network. Alicante-Elche at 475 km is not relevant for routine travel. Sports facilities within easy reach include Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and a public swimming pool at 4.7 km. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles sits 1.8 km away.

The climate data for this location points to a mild Mediterranean regime: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of about five months during which sea temperatures hold above 20°C. At 39 metres above sea level on terrain that slopes gently towards the coast, the villa avoids both the heat accumulation of inland valleys and the exposure of clifftop sites. The natural setting is characteristic of the western Costa del Sol: cork oak forests in the Sierra Almenara foothills frame the estate's inland edge, while the coastline offers long, open beaches such as La Alcaidesa. The gradient of 0.9% to the sea means walking and cycling to the beach are feasible for most residents. On clear days the views extend across the Strait towards Morocco, a defining geographic feature of this corner of Cádiz. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half of the year, so outdoor use of the terrace and garden runs from spring well into autumn.

The nearest coastal point is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.4 km away as the crow flies, an expansive, less-developed beach that reflects the quieter character of this stretch of coast compared with Marbella or Estepona. Sotogrande's own beach clubs and The Beach facility near La Reserva are within walking distance of the villa according to the listing description, offering seasonal dining and pools closer to home. Golf is the dominant recreational asset. Three courses lie within 3.1 km: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km, Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km and the Valderrama course at 3.1 km. The area counts 66 sports facilities in total, including Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, host to high-goal polo in summer, a municipal sports centre at 2.1 km and a public pool at 4.7 km. For water-based recreation, the marina at Puerto de Sotogrande provides berths and sailing access 2.7 km from the property.

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, this villa occupies a specific niche that differs from the current new-build supply. Comparable projects in the area include Sphere, with prices from €1,109,000, Las Villas, Sotogrande from €1,014,000 and Adel San Roque from €549,000. Those developments offer contemporary finishes and modern specifications from day one; this villa, at a fixed €1,300,000, offers instead more built volume, approximately 360 m² including a basement, plus a guest apartment and an established garden on a mature plot, in exchange for a renovation programme. Geographically, Sotogrande stands apart from the Marbella-centred Costa del Sol market 45 km to the east. Where Marbella offers density, nightlife and a large international service economy, Sotogrande is structured as a private estate of roughly 25 km² oriented around golf, polo and low-rise residential life. Turnover is correspondingly smaller: around 849 housing transactions per year in the municipality, against a backdrop of 13 primary schools and a strong international school presence. Algeciras, 21 km away, supplies the nearest large-city services with over 120,000 inhabitants, while Jerez de la Frontera at 87 km is the provincial-scale reference point. Price-wise, the villa sits in the mid-to-upper segment locally. A buyer comparing it with the from-€1,014,000 new-build villas faces a clear trade-off: turnkey construction with current building standards versus more space, an established setting near La Reserva, and the ability to specify one's own finishes through renovation. Median provincial income of €15,750 per year indicates that this market is driven substantially by international and second-home buyers rather than local demand, which supports the area's character as a seasonal and residential enclave rather than a mass market. Accessibility via Gibraltar at 14 km straight-line distance gives the western Costa del Sol a distinct travel profile compared with Marbella-based locations.
