An end-of-terrace townhouse of 151 m² spread over four floors, situated in the historic hilltop town of Olvera in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia. The property offers three bedrooms, one bathroom, a basement premises with multiple possible uses, and a private top-floor terrace with laundry area. Built in 1970 and offered key-ready, it stands in an urban setting with a supermarket approximately 84 m away and a pharmacy within roughly 70 m. The asking price is fixed at €85,000. Distances to the coast are considerable, with the nearest river beach about 50 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in the urban centre of Olvera, an inland town in northern Cádiz. Daily amenities are on foot: a supermarket roughly 84 m away and a pharmacy about 70 m. The nearest hospital lies approximately 25 km away and the airport about 73 km, both measured in a straight line. A car is convenient but not essential for all daily needs.
The layout serves households needing space and flexibility: living-dining room and kitchen with pantry on the first floor, three bedrooms and a bathroom on the second, a terrace with laundry on the top floor, and a basement premises usable as storage, a small apartment or a business space. Part-furnished, with a storage room and utility room.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 1970 and offered key-ready. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule; the property can in principle be transferred in its current condition. Buyers should factor in the age of the building when assessing maintenance and renovation needs.
The property offers one bathroom only and has a north orientation. There is no mention of private parking, a garden, a pool, or a communal area. The nearest Blue Flag style coastal beach lies roughly 56 km away as the crow flies, and the nearest electric vehicle charging point about 50 km. These are factual limitations drawn from the available data.

This property suits a buyer whose priority is space and low cost per square metre rather than coastal proximity. Recognisable situations include: a household seeking a full-time residence in a genuine Spanish town where daily life happens on foot; a buyer with a limited budget, around €85,000, who wants more than 150 m² of living space instead of a small coastal apartment; someone looking for a renovation or partial modernisation project in a structurally sound older building, with the basement offering potential for a separate use; and buyers drawn to inland Andalusian life, white villages, hiking, and the peace of the sierra, rather than beach tourism. It is less obviously suited to buyers who want a holiday home with quick beach access, since the nearest coastal beach lies roughly 56 km away as the crow flies, or who require two bathrooms, a private garden, parking on plot, or a pool. The single bathroom and the 1970 construction date are practical considerations for families or for buyers intending to let the property. A car is convenient for hospital visits, airport journeys and trips to the coast, although the immediate surroundings cover most daily needs. In short, the house fits a pragmatic, budget-driven purchase in an authentic inland setting, and fits less well a lifestyle built around the sea.
The property dates from 1970 and is described as well maintained, offered part-furnished and key-ready. The available data does not include details of recent renovations, the state of the roof and facades, or the technical installations, so buyers should verify these through a survey in the usual manner for a property of this age. The documented layout points to a traditional Spanish townhouse structure: load-bearing walls across four floors, a basement premises at street level, a living-dining room with an enclosed kitchen and pantry on the first floor, bedrooms and bathroom above, and a top-floor terrace with laundry area. Practical features recorded in the data are a private terrace, a storage room, a utility room and the basement. The kitchen and living areas appear furnished in the photographs, with a dining table in the kitchen and a sofa and table in the living-dining room. No information is available about heating, air conditioning, insulation, or electrical and plumbing updates; in a 1970 building these systems may be original or partially renewed, and the single bathroom suggests the internal distribution has not been fully reconfigured. The north orientation of the house means the terrace receives indirect light. The low IBI of €137.79 per year reflects the inland municipal tax base. Overall, the finishing level should be assessed as that of a maintained older townhouse rather than a modernised new build.
The asking price is fixed at €85,000 for the whole property, this is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-price. Running costs are documented as modest: the annual property tax (IBI) is stated at €137.79. For this budget the buyer receives 151 m² across four floors, including the basement premises and the top-floor terrace, in a walkable town centre. Availability follows from the property being key-ready; any transfer timeline depends on the normal Spanish purchase process rather than a construction schedule. Compared with coastal new-build projects in the region, which typically start in the hundreds of thousands of euros, this price positions the house firmly in the inland value segment of the Cádiz province market.
Olvera is one of the white villages of Andalusia, a hilltop town with a historic core dominated by its church and Moorish castle. Life here follows the rhythm of an inland Spanish town rather than a coastal resort. The property sits within the urban fabric, which means groceries, the pharmacy and local shops are a matter of a short walk rather than a drive. For a household that values this proximity, daily errands can be completed on foot. The house itself is arranged vertically across four floors, which shapes how it is used: the basement premises at street level could serve as storage, a workshop, a small business or additional living space; the first floor holds the entrance hall, living-dining room and kitchen with pantry; the second floor contains the three bedrooms and the single bathroom; the top floor offers a terrace and laundry area. The terrace, facing north, receives no direct low southern sun, so it functions as an outdoor space for shade-loving use, evening air, laundry drying, or a quiet coffee out of the heat of the afternoon. The nearest swimming water is the river beach at the Arcos de la Frontera reservoir, about 50 km away as the crow flies, so swimming is an excursion rather than a daily routine. The town itself provides the everyday framework: schools are listed nearby, and the setting is described as close to shops. Winters in inland Cádiz are cooler than on the coast, and summers hotter, which affects how the house is used across the seasons.
The immediate surroundings are urban and walkable. The supermarket lies approximately 84 m from the property and the pharmacy about 70 m, which places daily shopping within a one-minute walk. Schools are listed among nearby amenities, making the location practical for families. The nearest hospital is about 25 km away in a straight line, a drive of perhaps thirty minutes by road, though actual travel time depends on the route. Olvera sits inland, and the surrounding landscape is the rolling countryside of the Sierra de Cádiz, popular for walking and cycling. A car is convenient but not necessary for everything: town-centre life covers groceries, pharmacy, bars and schools on foot, while hospital care, airport journeys and coastal trips require driving. The airport lies about 73 km as the crow flies, so allow over an hour by road. The nearest electric vehicle charging point is recorded roughly 50 km away, which is relevant for EV owners. Noise and traffic reflect a small inland town rather than a resort: quieter off-season than the coast, with activity concentrated in the town centre.
The map shows the property within Olvera's urban centre, where the supermarket and pharmacy lie within roughly a hundred metres. The wider view places the town inland in the Sierra de Cádiz, with the coast, airport and golf courses all at distances of 49 km or more in a straight line. Roads will add to these figures.

Olvera sits in the north-east of Cádiz province, often described as the gateway to the white villages route, roughly equi-distant between Seville and the Costa del Sol in travel terms and about 73 km as the crow flies from the nearest airport. Within the wider region, the town belongs to the inland, lower-price segment: the same provincial stretch of coast around Sotogrande and San Roque carries new-build price levels from roughly €341,000 upwards. Olvera's position is therefore defined by what it is not, coastal, resort-based, or commuter territory, and by what it is: an authentic working town with services, schools and walkable streets.
Key distances, measured in a straight line (as the crow flies, actual road distances are longer): river beach at the Arcos de la Frontera reservoir approximately 50 km; Playa del Saladillo coastal beach approximately 56 km; airport approximately 73 km; nearest hospital approximately 25 km; nearest golf courses, La Zagaleta and Arcos Gardens, approximately 49 km. Locally, the supermarket at 84 m and pharmacy at 70 m make daily errands a matter of walking. Public transport options in a town of this size are typically limited to regional bus services; the data does not record specific lines. Car access follows the regional road network connecting Olvera with Arcos de la Frontera, the A-381 corridor towards Jerez and the coast. Buyers reliant on an electric vehicle should note the distance to charging infrastructure of roughly 50 km. Overall, the location trades coastal proximity for walkable town-centre convenience.
Olvera lies inland in the Sierra de Cádiz, and the data does not record a specific elevation figure; the town is known to occupy a hilltop position, which means sloped streets around the historic centre. No detailed climate statistics are provided in the source data beyond the general regional context of Andalusia: inland southern Spain experiences hot, dry summers and cooler winters than the coast, with the swimming season effectively limited to the warm months. The nearest swimming water is a river beach about 50 km away, and the nearest golf courses about 49 km, so outdoor recreation here centres on walking, cycling and the surrounding countryside rather than beach or golf resort life. The house's north orientation means the terrace receives indirect light, cooler in summer, without the direct low winter sun. Specific figures for sunshine hours, rainfall and average temperature are not included in the available data and are therefore not stated.

The coastal offer lies at a distance. The nearest bathing water is the river beach at the Embalse de Arcos de la Frontera reservoir, approximately 50 km as the crow flies; the nearest sea beach, Playa del Saladillo, lies approximately 56 km. The source data does not record Blue Flag status for these beaches. Golf requires a similar journey: La Zagaleta Country Club and Arcos Gardens Golf Club both lie about 49 km away, with a driving range and golf academy roughly 51 km distant, roughly an hour by road in each case. Recreation closer to home is inland in character: the white villages route, hiking in the Sierra de Grazalema area to the south-east, and the reservoir landscapes around Arcos. For a buyer whose leisure pattern includes regular beach days or golf, the travel time is a structural factor; for a buyer who swims occasionally and prefers hill walking, the immediate surroundings are the main resource.

Placed against the wider Andalusian market, this property occupies the inland value segment. The comparables recorded for the region, Altara Alcaidesa in Sotogrande from €341,000, Atria in Sotogrande from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from €551,000, are all coastal new-build projects near the Strait of Gibraltar, more than fifty kilometres to the south. The contrast is structural rather than marginal. For roughly a quarter of the entry price of the cheapest coastal comparable, the buyer here receives 151 m² of floorspace in a functioning inland town, versus a modern apartment near golf courses and beaches. What the coastal projects offer, sea views, resort facilities, golf within minutes, international buyer demand and stronger rental potential, is absent here: the nearest golf course lies about 49 km away and the nearest sea beach about 56 km, both as the crow flies. What Olvera offers in return is authenticity and cost: walkable streets, a Spanish-speaking local community, low annual taxes of €137.79, and a house price that leaves budget for renovation. Capital appreciation dynamics also differ; inland Cádiz towns have seen steadier, less speculative price movement than the Sotogrande corridor. For a buyer comparing the two, the decision reduces to lifestyle: coastal resort living at four to six times the price, or substantial inland space at a fraction of it. This property clearly belongs to the second category, and should be evaluated on its own terms, condition of a 1970 building, one bathroom, north orientation, rather than against coastal new-build standards.
