Sotogrande is known as an exclusive and stylish enclave close to the spot where the Mediterranean and Atlantic meet, but in spite of it being home to some of the most select golf courses, polo clubs and marinas in Europe this privileged resort harbours a lot more value for money than you might imagine.
Though its beautiful location, high quality properties and well laid-out open areas have insulated it from the worst of the recession that has gripped much of Europe, Sotogrande too has experienced a slow-down in the property market over the past few years. As a result, the price levels of the boom era have come down, allowing value back into the market and stimulating renewed interest and vigour.
So even though real estate values have held their own far better than in many other parts of the continent, let alone Spain, it is now possible to find some really attractive property opportunities, whether you are looking for apartments, townhouses, plots or villas. Naturally the most desirable homes in the most sought-after areas are less flexible in this regard, but many a property is now attracting the interest of homebuyers and investors alike.
Spacious townhouses in leafy residential areas and luxury apartments overlooking yachts in the stylish marina can be found under the €300,000 mark, while those with an eye for a good property will spot spacious semi-detached villas and private houses from around €400,000. Along with the enduring appeal of Sotogrande as a location of quality, the ability to invest in a great real estate opportunity here is drawing an increasing number of people back to the market.
Already, this is having its effect on property transactions and prices, yet there is still a lot of value in Sotogrande, making this an ideal time to look at property before prices really begin to recover in earnest.
