€3,500,000 | Landmark Andalusian Estate with Event Venue, Residential Apartments, and Significant Investment Potential

A Rare Lifestyle and Commercial Opportunity in the Sotogrande Region

The Cortijo presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold estate located just minutes from the elite resort of Sotogrande, in the heart of Southern Spain's Guadiaro Valley. With a combination of historic charm, functional commercial infrastructure, and versatile residential space, the property offers a unique lifestyle or investment proposition.

Currently leased and operated as a successful event and hospitality venue, the Cortijo has hosted weddings, private celebrations, and corporate functions for the past eight years with its current tenants. Upon return of possession in September 2025, the property will undergo internal updating and maintenance. A full refurbishment — including new electrics, drainage and infrastructure — was previously completed seven years ago, ensuring the estate remains structurally sound and well-equipped for future use.

Historical Significance

The estate derives its identity from one of the five original landholdings acquired during the creation of Sotogrande in the 1960s.Although the estate itself is not Roman, the surrounding area of Guadiaro is known for its Roman heritage, including the ancient settlement of Barbésula, noted for amphora production and the Garum fish trade.
