This three-bedroom townhouse stands in the Birdie Club urbanisation in La Alcaidesa, a gated residential area in the province of Cadiz, close to Sotogrande. The 220 m2 home, completed in 2007 and now key-ready, has three bathrooms, a private garden, a rooftop solarium with sea views and an underground parking space. It sits in a frontline golf setting, roughly 900 metres as the crow flies from Playa de La Alcaidesa. The asking price is fixed at €675,000. The urbanisation includes two communal swimming pools and landscaped gardens, and is reached via junction 124 of the A-7 coastal motorway.
Within the immediate Sotogrande and La Alcaidesa market, this townhouse occupies a specific position between new-build pricing and established resale stock. New developments in the area illustrate the entry levels for off-plan and recently delivered homes: Altara Alcaidesa starts from €341,000, Atria in Sotogrande from €423,000, and Adel San Roque from €549,000. Against these figures, the fixed €675,000 asking price for this existing home reflects its size (220 m2), its frontline golf position inside a gated community, and the fact that it is available immediately rather than off-plan. New-build buyers typically purchase smaller apartments or earlier-phase townhouses at those entry prices, whereas this property offers more built area and established outdoor space, including a private garden and rooftop solarium, for a price that remains below the level of large detached villas in Sotogrande Alto or Valderrama. Location-wise, La Alcaidesa trades differently from Marbella, 49 km east. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, offers density, services and a mature international market with correspondingly higher price levels; La Alcaidesa offers the opposite profile: quiet, green, low-density and closer to Gibraltar, whose airport at roughly 10 km provides short-haul access that Marbella cannot match directly. Algeciras, 16 km west, functions as the working economic hub of the bay, while Jerez de la Frontera, 88 km away, is the provincial reference point for sherry culture and inland Andalusia. For buyers comparing this area with the central Costa del Sol, the practical trade-offs are clear: fewer restaurants and less nightlife, cooler sea water and a shorter swimming season, but also lower urban pressure, three golf courses within 4 km, protected natural coastline and proximity to both Gibraltar and the Atlantic. The municipal market records around 849 housing transactions per year, a volume that indicates an active but not overheated resale market. Median provincial income in Cadiz stands at €15,750 per year, considerably below the typical international buyer profile for gated communities such as Birdie Club, which explains the sharp divide between local and resort-oriented housing in this stretch of coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Alcaidesa lies on the Cadiz coast near Sotogrande, accessed from junction 124 of the A-7 motorway. The townhouse sits in a gated community beside the Alcaidesa Links golf course, about 900 metres straight-line from the beach. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 10 km away; Marbella lies 49 km along the coast. Restaurants and a pharmacy are within 2 km.
The home offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 220 m2 of living space across several levels. Day-to-day living centres on an open living and dining area with direct garden access, a rooftop solarium for outdoor use, and storage space under the stairs. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold climate control, and an underground parking space is included.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 2007 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. The property is described as being in excellent condition. Buyers should arrange their own technical survey to verify the state of the construction and installations, as the stated completion date and condition are indicative.
The property has a communal pool rather than a private one, and parking is limited to a single underground space. There is no private lift, and the home was built in 2007, so it predates current new-build specifications. Daily convenience depends on a car, as shopping facilities beyond restaurants and a pharmacy lie outside the immediate 2 km radius.
This property fits a buyer seeking a ready-to-move-into home rather than an off-plan purchase. Recognisable situations include: a household wanting a permanent residence near the coast with enough space for family living, given the three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 220 m2 of floor area; a second-home buyer looking for a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave property within a gated community with communal pools and gardens maintained collectively; and golf players who value stepping directly onto the Alcaidesa Links course, which lies about 1.1 km away as the crow flies. Families with children may note the presence of international schools within 4 to 7 km, including Sotogrande International School campuses. The property is less suitable for buyers who want walking-distance access to shops, a private swimming pool, or a brand-new building with current construction standards. A car is necessary for daily errands. Those who prefer urban energy, nightlife and dense amenities may find the quiet residential character limiting, while buyers prioritising views, outdoor space and tranquillity will find the configuration aligned with their needs. Investors should assess rental demand independently, as returns depend on occupancy rates in the La Alcaidesa area, where roughly 849 housing transactions occur per year across the wider municipality.
The townhouse was completed in 2007, which places it in the build era of mature Andalusian residential construction: cavity walls, tiled floors and standard joinery of that period, rather than the open-plan layouts and smart-home wiring of current new builds. The interior photographs show an open living and dining space with patio access, modern furnishings and large windows, consistent with the described bright character. The kitchen is described as large and fully equipped. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and two further bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms. Climate control consists of air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, which is the primary heating and cooling system; there is no mention of underfloor heating or central heating. Outdoor finishes include a covered terrace, a private garden and a rooftop solarium with sea views, the latter a common feature of Andalusian townhouse construction that adds usable exterior space without increasing the registered footprint. Practical elements include storage space under the stairs and an underground parking space, which protects the vehicle from sun exposure. The property is described as being in excellent condition, but this is a vendor description. As the home is nearly two decades old, prospective buyers are advised to commission an independent technical inspection covering the roof waterproofing, electrical installation, plumbing and the condition of the solarium, as these are the areas where properties of this age typically require maintenance.
The asking price is a fixed €675,000 for this existing townhouse. This is not a price-list development, so there is no range of unit types at different starting prices; the price applies to this specific 220 m2 home with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private garden, solarium and underground parking. At roughly €3,068 per square metre of living area, the property sits above new-build pricing in the surrounding area, where comparable projects in Sotogrande start from approximately €341,000 to €549,000. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees.
The Birdie Club urbanisation is a gated community of townhouses set around communal gardens and two swimming pools, directly on the edge of the Alcaidesa Links golf course. Life here follows a quiet residential rhythm: mornings can start on the covered terrace or in the private garden, both oriented for outdoor use across the day, and the rooftop solarium offers sea views for late afternoon sun. The dwelling is organised over three levels, with the living and dining area opening onto the garden, three bedrooms above, and the solarium on top. The immediate surroundings are green rather than urban. The golf course and the protected coastal landscape frame the community, and the beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa lies about 900 metres away as the crow flies, with a moderate gradient of under 5 per cent on the route down. Because the nearest shops are not within walking distance, most residents use a car for groceries and larger errands, typically towards Sotogrande or La Linea. Restaurants and a pharmacy do fall within 2 km. The area is quiet outside the summer months, with a permanent population that keeps the community active year-round. Views extend over the Mediterranean, the golf course, the mountains and, on clear days, towards Gibraltar and the African coastline. For households that value space, privacy and proximity to golf over urban density, the setting supports a calm, outdoor-oriented way of living with easy access to the coast road.
Daily life in La Alcaidesa revolves around the coast, the golf courses and the road connection along the A-7. Within 2 km of the property there are five restaurants and one pharmacy; larger supermarkets and shopping require a short drive towards Sotogrande or La Linea de la Concepcion. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 0.9 km away in a straight line, and Playa de La Atunara lies 3.3 km further along the coast. For families, the area lists thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools, with Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus 3.7 km away as the crow flies and its main campus 6.5 km away. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the wider municipality. Sports facilities are unusually dense: sixty-six are recorded in the area, including a municipal swimming pool just 300 metres away and sports courts within 3 to 4 km. Golf is the defining activity, with Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km, La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km and San Roque Club at 3.8 km, all measured in straight lines. Public transport exists but is limited to nine lines and eight stops, reinforcing the practical need for a car. The community counts around 34,310 inhabitants in 2025, spread across the wider municipality, which supports year-round services rather than a purely seasonal economy.
The map shows the Birdie Club urbanisation in La Alcaidesa, directly beside the golf course and under a kilometre from the beach. Sotogrande lies a short drive east, while Gibraltar marks the horizon to the west across the Strait, with the North African coastline visible on clear days.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Alcaidesa occupies the westernmost edge of the Costa del Sol, at the transition into the Costa de la Luz in the province of Cadiz. It sits between Sotogrande to the east, roughly 10 minutes by car, and La Linea de la Concepcion with Gibraltar to the west. Marbella lies 49 km away and Algeciras 16 km, the latter a working port city with ferry connections across the Strait. The position combines the golf infrastructure of the Sotogrande area with the quieter, more natural character of the Cadiz coastline, and benefits from Gibraltar Airport at about 10 km, an access advantage almost no other Costa del Sol location can match.
The urbanisation is accessed via junction 124 of the Autovia A-7, the coastal motorway that runs the length of the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz. Gibraltar Airport is the closest aviation hub at roughly 10 km straight-line distance, with a quoted driving time of about 15 minutes; it mainly serves UK routes. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 88 km away, with a driving time quoted at around 1.5 hours, and offers the widest selection of international flights in the region. Sotogrande and its marina are about 10 minutes away by car, with Puerto de Sotogrande at 7.1 km straight-line distance. Algeciras, with its port connections to Morocco, is 16 km away, while Marbella is 49 km and Jerez de la Frontera 88 km in direct distance. Electric-vehicle drivers can charge at IONITY Sotogrande, 5.8 km away, among other points. Public transport is thin: nine lines serve eight stops in the area, so a private car remains the practical mode of transport for most journeys.

La Alcaidesa sits at a modest 43 metres above sea level, which keeps the terrain gentle compared with the hillier stretches of the Costa del Sol further east. The gradient from the property to the beach averages 4.8 per cent, moderate enough for most pedestrians, though the return climb is noticeable in summer heat. The climate is Mediterranean with an Atlantic influence: the average annual temperature is 18.3 degrees Celsius, and the swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 degrees or above, lasts about four months, typically June through September. This is somewhat shorter than on the more easterly Costa del Sol, where the Mediterranean warms earlier and cools later, a consequence of the Atlantic current along this stretch of the Cadiz coast. The area records a substantial number of sunshine hours annually, supporting outdoor use of the garden, covered terrace and rooftop solarium through most of the year. The surrounding landscape includes protected coastal zones and forested areas inland, with the Mirador del Higueron viewpoint 3.2 km away offering panoramas over the Strait of Gibraltar.

The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 0.9 km away in a direct line. It is a natural, largely undeveloped stretch of coast, wider and less built-up than the beaches of central Marbella or Fuengirola, and backed by protected dune landscape rather than a full promenade of chiringuitos. Playa de La Atunara, 3.3 km away, sits closer to the fishing quarter of La Linea. Golf is the area's principal recreation: Alcaidesa Links (1.1 km) is a 36-hole links course, one of the few genuine links layouts in southern Spain, and La Hacienda Links Golf Resort (1.3 km) and San Roque Club (3.8 km) add championship options within a short drive. The municipal swimming pool at Loma del Rey is only 300 metres from the property, useful outside the sea-swimming season. Marinas within reach include Puerto Pesquero de La Atunara (6.2 km) and Puerto de Sotogrande (7.1 km), the latter offering sailing and dining. Walking and cycling routes run along the coast and into the hinterland, and the Strait of Gibraltar is a recognised corridor for bird migration and whale watching.
