A key-ready detached villa in La Alcaidesa, an affluent gated community near Sotogrande in the province of Cádiz. The property offers 365 m² of living space on a single level, set on a 1,000 m² plot with a private swimming pool. It has three bedrooms and four bathrooms and was renovated in 2021. The villa lies roughly two kilometres from Playa de La Alcaidesa and within a short drive of several golf courses, including Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km straight-line distance. The asking price is fixed at €950,000. Access to the wider region is provided by the Autovía A-7 coastal motorway via junction 124.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in La Alcaidesa, a residential urbanisation in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, near Sotogrande and the Strait of Gibraltar. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 0.9 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate gradient of 4.8% between the property and the shore. The A-7 motorway is reached via junction 124, connecting the area to Algeciras, Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol.
The accommodation is arranged on one level, with three bedrooms, four bathrooms and 365 m² of living space. The living room connects to a dining area and an open-plan kitchen, with large windows opening onto terraces. A private pool, landscaped gardens, a storage room, fitted wardrobes, an ensuite bathroom and parking for several vehicles form part of the offer. Mountain, garden and pool views are present.
This is an existing home, completed and renovated in 2021, with a construction status of key-ready. No building phase or delivery schedule applies; the property can be transferred in its current condition. The renovation incorporated an aerothermal system, hot and cold air conditioning and electric shutters. The stated completion year of 2021 serves as the factual reference point for the property's age and refurbishment.
The property does not offer sea views; recorded views are of the mountains, garden and pool. It is not located directly on the beachfront, and the 0.9 km distance to the sea involves a moderate slope. Public transport is limited, with 9 lines and 8 stops in the area, so daily mobility largely depends on a car. The nearest large hospital facilities are not recorded within the immediate vicinity; two health centres serve the wider municipality.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a permanent residence on one level, avoiding stairs in daily use, will find the layout directly relevant, since all three bedrooms and four bathrooms sit on a single floor. A household that values privacy over communal facilities may prefer a private pool and an individual plot within a villa urbanisation, rather than an apartment complex with shared amenities. Buyers relocating with school-age children have two Sotogrande International School campuses within 3.7 km and 6.5 km straight-line distance, which is a practical consideration for family use. Golf players are served by Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km, La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km and San Roque Club at 3.8 km, making the villa a workable base for regular play without daily car journeys of significant length. Owners who travel frequently may value Gibraltar airport at roughly 10 km straight-line distance, while Malaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 88 km covers wider international routes. The property is less suited to buyers who want to walk to a full range of shops and services, or who depend on public transport: the area records 9 bus lines and 8 stops, and daily mobility in practice relies on a car. Buyers seeking sea views should also note that the recorded views are of the mountains, garden and pool, not the Mediterranean.
The villa was renovated in 2021, and the recorded installation list indicates a modern technical baseline. Climate control combines an aerothermal system, which uses outside air for heating and hot water with comparatively low electricity consumption, with hot and cold air conditioning throughout, allowing year-round temperature regulation rather than seasonal-only comfort. Electric shutters are fitted, which combine shading with a degree of convenience and security. The architectural approach relies on high ceilings and large windows, creating a bright interior and a visual connection between the living areas and the outdoor terraces. Interior fittings recorded on the property include fitted wardrobes, a walk-in closet with mirrored sliding doors, an ensuite bathroom and a separate storage room. The images show a spacious living room with modern décor, a bathroom finished with contemporary fittings and an outdoor patio arranged for dining with a view of the pool. The condition is recorded as recently renovated and recently refurbished, meaning the finishes, systems and installations date from the 2021 works rather than from the original construction. As with any resale purchase, the exact age and warranty status of individual installations can be verified through technical due diligence, including the aerothermal unit, the air conditioning system and the pool installation.
The asking price is fixed at €950,000 for the complete property, an existing, key-ready villa with 365 m² of living space on a 1,000 m² plot, renovated in 2021. As an existing home, the price is not presented as a starting figure for a range of units. For context, new-build apartments in the surrounding Sotogrande area are currently marketed from approximately €341,000 to €549,000, which places this villa in a higher segment, explained by its plot size, single-level layout, private pool and completed renovation. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process. Annual costs such as community fees, IBI property tax and waste collection charges are not stated in the available data and should be confirmed during due diligence.
Daily life at this villa is organised around single-level living and outdoor space. The south-facing orientation means the main terraces and pool area receive sun through the middle of the day, which shapes how the garden and patio are used between late morning and evening. The living room, dining area and open-plan kitchen form one connected zone, so everyday routines such as cooking, eating and relaxing take place in a single continuous space rather than in separate rooms. Mornings can begin on the terrace beside the pool; the walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom indicate that at least one bedroom functions as a full principal suite. The 1,000 m² plot provides separation from neighbouring villas, and the residential development of detached houses keeps the setting quiet outside peak holiday periods. Practical errands require a short drive: five restaurants and a pharmacy are recorded within 2 km, while wider shopping is found towards Sotogrande or La Línea. A swimming pool, Piscina Loma del Rey, lies 0.3 km away as an additional facility. The combination of a private pool, terraces and covered outdoor dining areas means much of the day can be spent outside for roughly eight months of the year given the local climate. With Gibraltar airport about 10 km away in a straight line and the A-7 motorway at junction 124, trips to Marbella, Algeciras or the airport fit into routine travel patterns rather than exceptional journeys.
The immediate surroundings consist of a residential development of detached villas within La Alcaidesa, an affluent gated community. Everyday amenities within 2 km include five restaurants and one pharmacy, which covers basic needs but not full weekly shopping; for that, residents typically drive to Sotogrande, La Línea or Algeciras, the latter 16 km away in a straight line with around 121,957 inhabitants. The municipal area records 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools, plus two health centres, giving the wider area a basic educational and healthcare structure. Tourism infrastructure is moderate, 7 hotels with 1,017 beds, indicating that the zone is not dominated by seasonal visitors. Housing activity is measurable rather than frantic, with 849 transactions per year recorded locally. For leisure, a public swimming pool and sports centre sit 0.3 km away, and additional sports pitches are found at 3.3 km and 3.6 km. Electric-vehicle charging is available at IONITY Sotogrande, 5.8 km away, with further points at Punto Ribot and Puente Mayorga. Public transport consists of 9 lines and 8 stops, sufficient for occasional trips but not for car-free daily living; a vehicle is effectively part of the household setup here.

Nearby markers include Playa de La Alcaidesa at 0.9 km, two golf courses within 1.3 km, and the A-7 motorway access at junction 124 for connections towards Algeciras and Marbella.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Alcaidesa occupies a specific position on the map: it lies on the Costa de la Luz in the province of Cádiz, immediately west of Sotogrande and the Strait of Gibraltar, yet within practical reach of the Costa del Sol. Marbella is 49 km away in a straight line, Algeciras 16 km, and Jerez de la Frontera 88 km. This places the property at the transition between two coasts, the Atlantic-influenced Costa de la Luz and the Mediterranean Costa del Sol, with Gibraltar itself roughly 10 km away. For buyers comparing regions, this means a quieter, less densely developed coastal setting than central Marbella, combined with good golf infrastructure typical of the Sotogrande area.
The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 0.9 km in a straight line, with an actual walking or driving distance that can be longer; the gradient of 4.8% is moderate, so the route back from the shore involves a noticeable but gentle climb. Playa de La Atunara is 3.3 km away. Three golf courses fall within a short radius: Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km, La Hacienda Links Golf Resort at 1.3 km and San Roque Club at 3.8 km. Marinas include Puerto Pesquero de La Atunara at 6.2 km, Puerto de Sotogrande at 7.1 km and Embarcadero de Campamento at 8.6 km. Airports: Gibraltar (GIB) is roughly 10 km away in a straight line and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) approximately 88 km, both reachable via the A-7 motorway at junction 124. Marbella lies 49 km straight-line and Jerez de la Frontera 88 km. By car, La Alcaidesa and Gibraltar are each described as a five-minute drive from the property. Public transport exists in the form of 9 lines and 8 stops nearby, but for practical purposes the area is oriented towards car use.

The villa stands at 43 m above sea level on the Costa de la Luz, the Atlantic-facing coast west of Gibraltar. The average annual temperature is 18.3°C, a figure that reflects mild winters and warm but not extreme summers, influenced by the proximity of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic. The swimming season, the period with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, which is shorter than on the Mediterranean coast further east, since Atlantic water warms more slowly; the private pool extends the usable swimming period beyond that of the sea. A viewpoint, Mirador del Higuerón, lies 3.2 km away and marks the natural character of the surrounding coast, which is less built-up than the Costa del Sol. The elevation and the 4.8% gradient towards the beach give the plot a slight slope, which contributes to the mountain views recorded at the property. In practical terms, the climate supports outdoor use of the terraces, garden and pool for most of the year, with the main restriction being the cooler Atlantic water rather than air temperature.

The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 0.9 km away as the crow flies and forms part of a long, relatively natural stretch of Atlantic coast. Blue Flag status is not recorded in the available data for these beaches, so no claim is made on that point. Recreation in the area is strongly oriented towards golf: Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km and La Hacienda Links Golf Resort at 1.3 km are both within walking or short driving distance, and San Roque Club, one of the established courses of the Sotogrande golf region, lies 3.8 km away. Water-based recreation is concentrated at three marinas within 6 to 9 km, including Puerto de Sotogrande. Sports facilities in the wider area number 66, including a public swimming pool at 0.3 km and sports pitches at 3.3 km and 3.6 km. For walking and sightseeing, Mirador del Higuerón at 3.2 km offers a viewpoint over the Strait. The overall pattern is one of golf, beach and maritime leisure rather than dense urban entertainment.

Within the immediate Sotogrande, La Alcaidesa market, this villa occupies the upper segment of the residential offer. New-build projects currently marketed in the area start considerably lower: Altara Alcaidesa from approximately €341,000, Atria in Sotogrande from around €423,000 and Adel San Roque from about €549,000. These are typically apartment developments, whereas the property analysed here is a completed detached villa with a private plot, a product type that is structurally scarcer in this zone. The fixed asking price of €950,000 buys 365 m² of single-level living space, a 1,000 m² plot, a private pool and a 2021 renovation, which positions it above entry-level new build in terms of land and space per euro, while new-build buyers in turn receive newer common facilities and warranty coverage under developer guarantees. Regionally, La Alcaidesa sits at the western edge of the Costa del Sol sphere, on the Atlantic-facing Costa de la Luz. Compared with Marbella, 49 km away in a straight line, the area is less densely developed, records fewer annual housing transactions (849 locally), and carries a lower provincial income median (€15,750 in Cádiz), which is reflected in generally lower price levels than central Marbella while retaining comparable golf infrastructure, Alcaidesa Links, La Hacienda Links and San Roque Club within 3.8 km. Compared with Algeciras, 16 km away, La Alcaidesa is far more residential and tourist-oriented, with 7 hotels and a gated-community character. The trade-off for buyers is clear: more space, plot and privacy per euro than Marbella or new-build Sotogrande apartments, in exchange for a quieter, car-dependent setting with a shorter sea-swimming season of about four months due to Atlantic water temperatures. For buyers weighing the Costa del Sol against the Costa de la Luz, this property is a concrete data point in that comparison.
