Semi-detached homes in Sotogrande

One characteristic of property on the Costa del Sol is that it is a market dominated by apartments, penthouses and luxury villas. In this intermediate property types are less commonly seen, and while there is a good choice of large and small townhouses, those homes bridging the gap between them and villas are hardest to find of all.

This is above all true of Marbella, yet in Sotogrande they are far better represented, ranging from large, semi-detached townhouses to luxurious homes that are in reality nothing other than semi-detached villas in their own right. Apart from the stylish marina apartments and residential areas dominated by spacious villas, therefore, Sotogrande also offers an excellent bridging range of properties that are ensconced between the two.

They extend from classic Sotogrande, whose broad, peaceful leafy streets occupy the flat areas close to the beach and the marina, to the villa suburbs surrounding the undulating golf courses of Valderrama, Club de Golf La Cañada and La Reserva Golf Club. Here you will find spacious private homes with many of the luxuries of a villa combined with the advantages of an urbanisation.

Holmes Sotogrande offers a good choice of properties in this mid-range, including this spacious five-bedroom semi-detached house in the Los Granados area. Featuring a built area of 250m2, it is in effect a compact villa with five generously proportioned bedroom suites, a large open-plan living and dining room, modern kitchen, 60m2 terrace and private lawn, a study and an attic room that can be used as a bedroom or office. The attractive development features communal gardens and swimming pools.

For stylish modern architecture and crisp refinement it doesn’t get much better than this 5-bedroom design gem near the Santa María Polo Club. Added to a spacious living and dining room are a modern designer kitchen with breakfast area – both of which lead on to a large terrace overlooking a private garden and plunge pool – and an entrance hall that provides access to the guest cloakroom and five modern bedroom suites. A stunning modern property in a top location.

Set on a slight rise near the famous Valderrama Golf Course, this stylish 4-bedroom semi-detached villa enjoys wonderful views over the fairways and surrounding greenery of Sotogrande. With golf, spa facilities, an international school, sports clubs, shops, yachting and restaurants close by, the property offer 301m2 of tastefully designed comfort and elegance – including a sizeable living area, four attractive bedrooms, three lovely marble bathrooms and lots of private space. The community is surrounded by villas and offers expansive green zones with swimming pools for that perfect mix of villa luxury and urbanisation convenience.
