About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with private pool in Sotogrande Alto, Costa del Sol. Designed by ARK Architects and completed in 2026, this contemporary residence occupies an elevated 3,110sqm plot in La Reserva de Sotogrande with panoramic views across the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding golf course. The architecture prioritises proportion and connection to landscape over sheer scale, with strong horizontal lines and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frame the coastal vistas.
The 1,588sqm interior is arranged across flowing living spaces finished in natural stone and bespoke materials. Five bedrooms are served by nine bathrooms, while the main living level opens onto 397sqm of terracing that extends the usable space outdoors. The villa includes a private pool set within landscaped gardens, a wine cellar, and integrated home automation throughout. One covered parking space is provided. The property comes fully furnished to the architect's specification, with every element selected to complement the contemporary design language.
La Reserva de Sotogrande sits within the wider Sotogrande estate, known for its concentration of championship golf courses and marina facilities. The villa is positioned 4km from Sotogrande Marina, where restaurants and yacht berths line the waterfront. The beachfront at Sotogrande Costa lies 6km to the southwest, while Gibraltar Airport is a 20-minute drive for international connections. The residence was built under direct owner supervision in 2026, with particular attention given to construction quality and material selection throughout the build process.

Buying this villa in Sotogrande Alto
Can foreigners buy property in Sotogrande Alto?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Sotogrande Alto. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Sotogrande Alto?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
