Spacious Stylish Sotogrande Villa

Spacious and stylish villa in Sotogrande Alto on a very quiet street. Marvellous views from the property of San Roque Club golf-course. The property consists of 4 double bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Plus the possibility of adding a further single bedroom on the ground floor. The plot size is 1,333 m2 and the built area 570 m2.

Large Well Built Villa

On entering the property you are met with a lovely large living room with fireplace and separate dining area which leads to the big well-equipped kitchen. Next to the kitchen is the laundry area and a patio for open air drying of clothes and informal al fresco dining or partaking of peaceful breakfasts in the early morning sunshine. There is a small room next to the kitchen which could be an office, ironing room or playroom. In addition, there is a double bedroom and bathroom. This bedroom can be connected to another bedroom at the back and would thus become a spacious guest suite. In addition, there is a cloakroom.

Garage and Dedicated Space

There is a flight of stairs leading to the semi basement where we find an enormous garage with space for several cars and even a small motor launch. Or more practically, a gym. Or more indulgently, a wine cellar. Behind this is a storage room and a separate boiler room.

Terrace with Golf Course Views

Upstairs we find the three other bedrooms each with en suite bathrooms. Another delightful feature is a covered terrace shared by two bedrooms from which you can enjoy beautiful views of the San Roque golf course.

Underfloor Heating

In addition, there is underfloor heating throughout and pre installation of air conditioning. Terracotta floors are in all rooms except bathrooms, where they are marble, and the kitchen.

Large Villa in Large Plot Sotogrande Alto

Keenly Priced 800 m2, 5 bed 6 bath property set in large 4,400 m2 plot in Los Altos de Valderrama, Sotogrande. This property is on the market at a fantastic price considering the plot size. The location is quite simply ‘second to none’.

Interior and Exterior Living

Designed with a divine inner patio that gives access to the kitchen and sitting room / dining areas, it forms the heart of the house and is a charming reminder that Sotogrande has a privileged climate where the outside is as important as the inside for year round living.

Affordable Property in large plot

This affordable property is located in Los Altos de Valderrama, one of the most exclusive areas of Sotogrande. Some light reforms would further enhance this beautiful villa. The location, set in a cork oak forest on the edge of Valderrama Golf Course, is quite perfect. The mature gardens and almost colonial landscaping are unrivalled and make this a very inviting opportunity. This large plot is quadruple the size of some of the later built properties lower down in the F Zone and the feeling of space is akin to living in a small park all of your own. What could be more cherished in these days of the new normal?Plus, there is sufficient space to build a further villa should you so wish.

Sotogrande Alto Eco Friendly Villa

October 30, 2019

Property Now Sold – Sorry

Sotogrande Eco-Friendly Property

Vermont style eco-friendly family villa. Situated in a very desirable part of Sotogrande Alto. This 295 m2 detached house occupies a plot of 1,780 m2. A wonderful, high ceilinged property that has been designed with fantastic detail. (Including a cloakroom in the garage for gardeners.) French windows connect interior with exterior living on all 3 floors of this well distributed home. The free style pool is a worthy centre-piece of the charming garden. Depending on the time of day, there are well placed lounging areas that surround it – from the gazebo / chill area to dining on the loggia/ covered terrace, to al fresco lunching with parasol for days when we need to feel the sun on our faces. Naturally, there is also a well manicured lawn with bushes, shrubs and herbs as well as the paved recreation area.

Your Forever Home

Open the front door and enter into an open plan 115 m2 living area with modern kitchen. Perfect for entertaining and user-friendly for permanent living. It has an ‘A’ frame design which invites the light to enter giving a feeling of well being. The flooring is quality oak floorboards for that extra touch. On this floor are 2 double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, one with ensuite bathroom and one with separate guest bathroom. The main bedroom is on the first floor; the room has cosy, attic style ceilings and several windows to let the natural light pour in. The bedroom benefits from a large ensuite with walk in shower. The spacious Minstrels’ gallery that adjoins this area serves as a study or further zone to relax away from the bedroom. This top floor is 74 m2. As mentioned, there is a lower, third, floor that leads to the garden. This semi basement area has its separate summer kitchen and further double bedroom with ensuite. It is a beautiful area for guests who are staying for a few days. They have freedom to wander around in their own space without feeling they are disturbing you. It is designed as a self contained one bed ‘grannny flat’, yet also ideal for entertaining. In addition, it connects to the double garage and store room as well as the garden area.

Energy Saving Ergonomic Design

Rather like a Starbucks coffee, we can enjoy this home whilst helping the world, thanks to physics and architectural savoir faire. Plus, the energy savings are almost miraculous. Cool indoors in summer and warm indoors in winter. This is partly because of the beautiful seasoned thick wooden pillars inside and partly down to the ergonomic design of almost 360º degree terracing. The wooden decking on the first floor has been recently replaced with stylish, easily maintained flooring. Easy to clean and safe underfoot. The first floor terraces are a good size and the sitting area up here looks straight out over the pool and offers sea views. It is so peaceful and beautiful. It gives the impression of being built on a raised plot. To the east lies Valgrande, to the west San Roque golf course and to the south the sea, Africa and views of Gibraltar.

Costs and Miscellaneous

Sotogrande Community Fees are approximately 265€ per quarter. Refuse disposal 65€ a quarter. Council tax (IBI) approximately 950€ per six months. The Energy Certificate reads as Grade D in contrast to the usual reading of Grade E for almost all properties in this area.
