This refurbished four-bedroom townhouse sits within a gated development in La Alcaidesa, a residential area on the Cádiz coast between Sotogrande and Gibraltar. The property offers approximately 138 m² of internal accommodation, three bathrooms, an en-suite, and roughly 80 m² of terracing with a south-facing orientation. Built in 2006 and completed to its current condition, the home includes a fitted kitchen, utility room, air conditioning, marble flooring and double glazing. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa lies under a kilometre away, and two golf courses sit within 1.3 km. Priced from €350,000, the property is sold unfurnished with private parking and access to communal gardens and a swimming pool.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies within the gated urbanisation of La Alcaidesa, accessed from junction 124 of the A-7 coastal motorway. Playa de La Alcaidesa is approximately 880 metres away on a moderate slope of under five per cent. A supermarket stands 182 metres from the development. Alcadeisa Links and La Hacienda Links golf courses are 1.1 km and 1.3 km away respectively, with Sotogrande roughly seven kilometres to the north-east.
The layout answers family or shared-use requirements: four bedrooms, three bathrooms including an en-suite, a separate utility room and a fitted kitchen. South-facing covered and private terraces totalling around 80 m² extend the living space outdoors. Communal gardens and a swimming pool serve the development, and private parking is included. Air conditioning and double glazing regulate indoor temperature across seasons.
This is a resale property completed in 2006, not a new-build development. The house was recently refurbished and is documented as being in good condition. Because construction dates from 2006, buyers should expect the building standards, insulation values and energy documentation typical of that period rather than those of current new-build regulations. Completion data is indicative.
The property is sold unfurnished. The pool is communal rather than private, and views are oriented towards garden, courtyard and street rather than the sea. There is no private garden mentioned in the listing. The nearest pharmacy is 5.8 km away and the nearest hospital 6.2 km, meaning daily services beyond the immediate supermarket and restaurants require a short drive.
Several buyer profiles map onto this property in practical terms. A family needing four bedrooms and three bathrooms within commuting reach of schools will find thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools in the surrounding area, with Sotogrande International School campuses at 3.7 km and 6.5 km. A household seeking a second residence with genuine walkability to a supermarket and the beach, rather than total car dependence, benefits from the 182-metre shop distance and the under-one-kilometre beach access. Golf-oriented buyers have three courses within four kilometres, two of them walkable in principle. Buyers prioritising a finished, refurbished property with no construction risk or waiting period fit the profile, since the house is complete and available. The configuration also suits multigenerational or guest-heavy use: the en-suite bedroom plus two further bathrooms separates occupancy comfortably. Conversely, buyers wanting a private pool, sea views, furnished handover or immediate access to full urban services should note the communal pool, garden and street outlook, unfurnished sale, and the 5.8 km distance to the nearest pharmacy. Households without a car should assess the public transport options carefully, as eight bus stops serve the area but most daily services beyond shopping and dining are not walkable. Investors should weigh the rental dynamics of a small, seasonal resort community against larger markets such as nearby Sotogrande.
The documented specification points to a mid-2000s build brought up to date through recent refurbishment. Flooring throughout is marble, a standard finish for Andalusian construction of this period, and the listing confirms the property is presented in good condition post-refurbishment. Interior climate control consists of air conditioning, supported by double glazing, the latter relevant both for thermal performance and for reducing road noise in a development connected to the A-7 corridor. The kitchen is fully fitted with a separate utility room, a layout detail that matters for year-round living rather than holiday use, since laundry functions are separated from the cooking space. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, with two further bathrooms serving the remaining three bedrooms. Photographic records show a modern fitted kitchen with oven and cabinetry, a full bathroom with bathtub, and a living room with fireplace and staircase, consistent with a two-storey townhouse layout. The 80 m² of terraces are a combination of covered and private sections; the covered portion extends usability into the hotter months and shoulder seasons. As a 2006 development, the communal infrastructure, gardens, pool, access roads, reflects nearly two decades of established management rather than new construction. Buyers prioritising energy performance should request the existing energy certificate, as the listed efficiency label is not specified in the available data and buildings of this vintage typically predate current insulation standards unless upgraded during refurbishment.
The property is listed from €350,000. In the immediate comparable set, Altara Alcaidesa starts at €341,000, Atria at €423,000 and Adel San Roque at €638,000, placing this townhouse at the lower-middle end of the local price band. The price corresponds to a completed, refurbished resale home rather than an off-plan purchase, so there is no construction-phase payment structure or delivery wait. As a 2006 build of 138 m² with 80 m² of terraces, the per-square-metre calculation should account for the terrace area, which inflates the listed built figure of 170 m² relative to the interior. Transaction activity in the wider area, 849 recorded property transactions, indicates an active resale market.
La Alcaidesa functions as a low-density residential enclave rather than a town centre, and daily life here reflects that character. The supermarket 182 metres from the development covers routine shopping on foot, and a handful of restaurants operate within a two-kilometre radius. Beyond that, errands, pharmacy, health centre, larger retail, require a car, with the nearest pharmacy at 5.8 km. The rhythm of the day is largely organised around the coast and the golf courses: Playa de La Alcaidesa sits roughly 880 metres downhill, a walk of about ten to twelve minutes on a moderate gradient, which most residents will manage easily going down and notice coming back up. For golfers, three courses, Alcadeisa Links at 1.1 km, La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km and San Roque Club at 3.8 km, sit within a short drive, giving the area a distinct golf-and-beach identity. The townhouse format itself shapes the living pattern: the 138 m² interior with four bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodates a family or visiting guests, while the 80 m² of terraces, south-facing and partly covered, serve as the main outdoor rooms for much of the year given the roughly 3,800 annual sunshine hours. The communal pool and gardens provide shared recreation without private maintenance responsibility. Out of season the area quietens considerably, the population base is small and tourism is concentrated in seven hotels with around 1,000 beds, so winter months are notably calmer than summer. Public transport exists, with eight stops and nine lines in the area, but the spread of services means a car remains the practical default for most households.
The immediate environment is organised around the gated development itself: communal gardens, a swimming pool and internal roads with private parking. Daily provisioning works on foot, the supermarket at 182 metres and several restaurants within two kilometres cover breakfast through dinner without starting the car. The beach defines the leisure routine; at 880 metres with a 4.8 per cent slope, it functions as an easy round trip for most of the year, and the roughly 3,800 annual sunshine hours make the south-facing terraces usable from early spring to late autumn. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures above 20°C, runs about four months, so beach days cluster between roughly June and October. Healthcare requires planning: the nearest pharmacy is 5.8 km away, health centres exist in the wider area, and the nearest hospital is 6.2 km distant. Education options are comparatively strong for a settlement of this size, with thirteen primary and five secondary schools in the region plus two international school campuses near Sotogrande. Public transport, nine lines across eight stops, connects the area along the coast, but the practical pattern for most residents is car-based, using the A-7 for Sotogrande (7 km), Algeciras (16 km) and Gibraltar (10 km). Off-season, the community contracts to its resident base; with only seven hotels in the area, winter is quiet and local commerce scales back accordingly.
The map shows the property's position within the gated La Alcaidesa urbanisation, inland of the A-7 and roughly 880 metres from Playa de La Alcaidesa. Points of interest include the two nearby links golf courses, the supermarket at 182 metres, and the road connections towards Sotogrande, La Línea and Gibraltar.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Alcaidesa occupies a coastal position between Sotogrande and La Línea de la Concepción, at the western gateway to the Costa del Sol. Sotogrande's marina, international schools and polo grounds lie 7 km north-east; Gibraltar and its airport sit 10 km south; and Algeciras (16 km) is the nearest large town with 121,957 inhabitants. Marbella lies 49 km east along the A-7. This positions the property closer to Gibraltar's employment and travel links than most Costa del Sol locations, while retaining access to the Marbella corridor. The character is residential and low-key compared with Sotogrande's estate environment.
Beach access is the strongest connectivity point: Playa de La Alcaidesa at 880 metres, with Playa de La Atunara 3.3 km and Playa de Levante 7.4 km further along the coast. Gibraltar Airport is the closest aviation link at approximately 10 km straight-line, reachable via the La Línea border crossing, with journey time dependent on border queues; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 88 km east along the A-7, typically just over an hour by car. Golf access is unusually dense: Alcadeisa Links at 1.1 km and La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km are effectively neighbourhood facilities, and San Roque Club at 3.8 km adds a third option. Marinas sit at Puerto de Sotogrande (7.1 km) and Puerto Pesquero de La Atunara (6.2 km). Electric vehicle charging requires a drive, the nearest IONITY station is 5.8 km away in Sotogrande. Algeciras (16 km) and Marbella (49 km) provide the nearest full-scale urban centres.

The development sits at 43 metres above sea level on a gentle coastal slope of 4.8 per cent towards the beach. The climate data indicates approximately 3,821 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, figures consistent with the southern Cádiz coast, one of the sunniest stretches in mainland Spain. The sea swimming season, when water temperature holds at or above 20°C, spans about four months, concentrating beach activity between early summer and early autumn, though the south-facing terraces extend usable outdoor living well beyond that window. The moderate hill means the return walk from the beach carries a noticeable but manageable gradient, a factor worth noting for households with mobility considerations. The surrounding landscape combines the links-style golf terrain of Alcaidesa and La Hacienda with open Mediterranean coastline; the Mirador del Higuerón viewpoint at 3.2 km offers elevated coastal panoramas within a short drive.

Playa de La Alcaidesa, at 880 metres, is the primary beach for residents, a long, open stretch of the Cádiz coast facing the Strait of Gibraltar, with views across to North Africa on clear days. Two further beaches, Playa de La Atunara (3.3 km) and Playa de Levante (7.4 km), extend the options along the coast towards La Línea. Golf is the area's second recreational pillar: Alcadeisa Links (1.1 km) and La Hacienda Links Golf Resort (1.3 km) are within walking or two-minute driving distance, and San Roque Club (3.8 km) is a recognised championship venue. Sports infrastructure in the wider area counts 66 facilities, including Piscina Loma del Rey just 300 metres away and public sports pitches at 3.3 km and 3.6 km. Marinas at La Atunara and Sotogrande cover boating access within a ten-minute drive.

Within its immediate comparable set, this townhouse occupies the entry-to-mid price bracket. Altara Alcaidesa starts at €341,000, effectively level with this property, while Atria in Sotogrande opens at €423,000 and Adel San Roque at €638,000, both reflecting new-build pricing in the Sotogrande and San Roque corridors. That spread illustrates the market structure: resale stock in La Alcaidesa trades at a visible discount to new construction closer to Sotogrande's estate core, with the difference partly explained by build vintage, finishes and address premium. Regionally, La Alcaidesa is positioned as the quieter, more affordable neighbour of Sotogrande, it shares the golf infrastructure (Alcadeisa Links, La Hacienda Links, San Roque Club all within 4 km) and the same microclimate of roughly 3,800 sunshine hours, but lacks Sotogrande's marina, polo scene and concentration of international schools, though Sotogrande International School is reachable at 3.7 km. Compared with Algeciras 16 km away, a working port city of nearly 122,000 inhabitants with full urban services and a median provincial income of €15,750, La Alcaidesa is a deliberate retreat location, not a service hub. Against Marbella 49 km east, the trade-offs are clear: this side of the coast offers lower entry prices, proximity to Gibraltar's airport and employment, and markedly lower density, while ceding the Marbella corridor's retail depth, nightlife and larger expatriate infrastructure. For buyers weighing value per square metre against address prestige, La Alcaidesa presents the functional attributes, beach walkability, golf access, gated setting, at a price point roughly €90,000 below the nearest new-build Sotogrande alternative.
