Included in the asking price is a fully designed project for a stunning contemporary 4-bedroom luxury villa, carefully conceived to maximise natural light, open-plan living and those exceptional views.

How Much Can You Actually Build on This Plot?
This is one of the first questions buyers ask — and it’s a good one. The plot measures 1,215 m², and under the San Roque PGOU, the maximum permitted footprint is 33% of the plot area (approximately 401 m²), with a total buildability of 0.35 m² per m², giving around 425 m² across all floors. Add a basement — which typically sits outside the buildability calculation — and you have a generous villa with ample space remaining for gardens, terracing and a pool. The included 4-bedroom villa design is already tailored to make the most of every one of those square metres.

What Are the Key Building Regulations?
The plot is zoned for a detached single-family home. The villa can be designed over two floors with a maximum height of 6.5 metres, with a third level permitted over up to 30% of the second-floor area, provided the overall height does not exceed 9.5 metres. Minimum setbacks are 6 metres from the road and 3 metres from neighbouring boundaries — helping to maintain the spacious, low-density character of the area. A swimming pool is permitted and does not count towards the buildability allowance.

What Should Buyers Know Before Building?
A building licence must be obtained from the Ayuntamiento de San Roque before construction begins. All plans must be prepared by a qualified registered architect (arquitecto colegiado) — if you need a recommendation, visit our Architecture page. On completion, a first occupation licence (Licencia de Primera Ocupación) is required before the property can be legally occupied. We strongly advise an independent legal review to confirm the plot’s planning classification and any specific conditions before proceeding.

Why Your BM Sotogrande Agent Loves This Plot
La Alcaidesa is still surprisingly under-served when it comes to villas. Apartments dominate the area, so anyone building here now is genuinely ahead of the curve. The elevation is a real selling point too — this isn’t a partial view, it’s a full panoramic sweep across the Mediterranean and Gibraltar that commands a premium elsewhere on the coast. And the street itself feels well-timed. New builds are starting to appear, values are moving, but it hasn’t tipped into feeling overcrowded. That window won’t stay open forever.
