Detached Villa in Sotogrande Alto

Let's start with the location, because the C Zone is one of Sotogrande's favourite neighbourhoods for very good reason. It's leafy, private and peaceful, yet you're only a short drive from everything that makes Sotogrande so special – world-class golf, polo in the summer, the marina's restaurants and bars, lovely beaches and well-regarded international schooling. Gibraltar and Málaga airports are both within easy reach too, so getting here is a doddle.

And the villa? Big is the word. 714m2 built on a 3,000m2 plot, with 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, so everyone gets their own space. The open-plan kitchen and living areas are made for entertaining, and there's a whopping 200m2 of terrace to soak up the sea views on the horizon. The garden is a wonderful space for kids and guests alike, set around a huge heated swimming pool. Running costs are kept sensible too, thanks to a full solar installation and two heat pumps for heating the pool, both only two years old. Two underground parking spaces complete the picture, and it's key ready and comes furnished, so you can move straight in and start enjoying it. For golf enthusiasts, there is even a seperate golf simulator out-house.

From an investment point of view, homes of this scale, on a plot this size, with sea views in the C Zone simply don't come to market often – and when they do, they get noticed. Sotogrande keeps attracting families from all over the world looking for space, privacy and quality of life, and this one delivers all three in spades. A brilliant buy ‌for ‌a ‌forever ‌family ‌home. Note that ‌with ‌a ‌tourist license ‌and ‌summer ‌rentals, these sized villas ‌can ‌command more than €10,000-€15,000/week. ‌Get ‌in ‌touch ‌to ‌arrange ‌a ‌viewing.
