About this property

Overview

Villa Retiro is a four-bedroom house with five bathrooms and nearly 800 square metres of built space, set on a plot of almost 2,900 square metres. The design runs across three floors, and the footprint follows the contours of the site rather than imposing a flat pad. You get between 200 and 255 square metres of terrace, south facing, and the plot is large enough to give you proper separation from neighbours and room for landscaping that feels private.

The location puts you high on the Sotogrande hillside, frontline golf with views across La Reserva, out to the Mediterranean and across to Gibraltar and the African coast. The sea side of the AP-7 means you can reach the beach without crossing the motorway, though the elevation and the golf course position mean you will drive rather than walk to the shore. Sotogrande International School is four minutes away, La Reserva Golf Club 14 minutes, and Gibraltar Airport half an hour. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande is 17 minutes if you keep a boat.

This suits a buyer who wants space, privacy and a commanding view, and who does not mind that the setting trades immediate beach access for a hilltop aspect. The plot size and the build footprint mean upkeep is significant, and the rooms are spread vertically, which may not work if stairs are a concern. You are buying the position and the outlook, and both are fixed assets in an area where elevated frontline golf plots are limited.

VILLA RETIRO - The Collection: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 5.9 kilometres away, about 20 minutes by car. The villa sits high on the Sotogrande hillside on the sea side of the AP-7, so you reach the coast without crossing the motorway, but the elevation means the distance is a drive rather than a walk.

You get sea, golf, garden and pool views from the south-facing terraces, looking across La Reserva golf course to the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and the African coast. The frontline golf position and the hilltop setting deliver panoramic views that take in both the greens below and the coastline beyond.

The villa sits on a hillside golf plot in Sotogrande, and the distances mean you will drive to most amenities. Sotogrande International School is four minutes by car, the nearest supermarket 11 minutes, and the beach 20 minutes. The setting prioritises views and space over pedestrian access to shops or seafront.

The outdoor space is private. You get a plot of almost 2,900 square metres, with between 200 and 255 square metres of terrace, a private pool and room for landscaping. The plot size means you manage all of it yourself, which brings upkeep but also the kind of separation and privacy that communal gardens cannot offer.

Gibraltar Airport is 16 kilometres away, about 31 minutes by car. That makes the villa practical for lock-up-and-leave use, with a short transfer from landing to unlocking the door, and it suits buyers who split time between Sotogrande and another home.

Buying off-plan in Sotogrande means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
