This three-bedroom semi-detached house is located in The Mews, a small residential development within La Alcaidesa, an established gated community in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz province. The property was completed in 2004 (indicative) and offers 158 m² of built space on a 284 m² plot, with two bathrooms, a private garden, covered terrace, two balconies and a 19 m² parking area with pergola. The house sits roughly 880 metres from Playa de La Alcaidesa, with a supermarket within 200 metres and several golf courses within four kilometres. Gibraltar Airport lies approximately ten kilometres away; Málaga Airport is roughly 88 kilometres along the coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Alcaidesa is positioned on the Cádiz coast between Sotogrande and the Gibraltar border area, accessed via junction 124 of the A-7 coastal motorway. The setting is suburban and residential, with an urbanisation character, a supermarket at 182 metres and Playa de La Alcaidesa at under a kilometre. Three golf courses sit within four kilometres. Algeciras is 16 km away and Marbella 49 km.
The property functions as a three-bedroom family or holiday home with practical daily layout: living and dining room with fireplace, fitted kitchen with utility area, en-suite bathroom plus guest WC, and marble flooring throughout. Outdoor use is structured around a private garden, a covered terrace and two balconies. Communal facilities include a swimming pool, gardens and a paddle tennis court within The Mews.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 2004 (indicative) and is documented in good to fair condition, with a recently fitted kitchen and fitted wardrobes in two bedrooms. No construction phases, developer warranties or planned delivery dates apply. Purchase concerns an existing, completed property available for immediate transfer.
The property has no private swimming pool; pool access is communal. There is no private garage, parking is a 19 m² open area with pergola. Air conditioning is not listed; climate control consists of a fireplace and bedroom ceiling fans. EV charging requires a 5.8 km drive to the nearest point. Condition is recorded as good to fair, consistent with a 2004 build.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a completed, ready-to-occupy home without construction risk or delivery waiting periods will find the 2004 completion and documented condition relevant. Households needing three bedrooms with two full bathrooms plus a guest WC fit the documented layout, as do families using the thirteen primary and five secondary schools in the wider area, including Sotogrande International School campuses at 3.7 and 6.5 km. Golf-focused buyers benefit from Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km, La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km and San Roque Club at 3.8 km, a density of courses unusual elsewhere on the coast. Cross-border commuters or frequent flyers using Gibraltar Airport at roughly ten kilometres are another documented user group. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a private pool, a closed garage, integrated air conditioning or on-site EV charging, none of which the documentation lists. Walkability covers shopping, dining and the beach, while medical, pharmacy and charging infrastructure all sit at roughly six kilometres, meaning a car remains part of daily life. Buyers prioritising energy-label documentation or new-build thermal standards should note that none are specified for this resale property. For second-home use, the communal pool and paddle court reduce maintenance responsibility, and the furnished or part-furnished status may simplify occupancy between visits.
The documented finish level is consistent with a well-maintained 2004 Mediterranean build with selective upgrades. Marble flooring runs throughout the property, which is typical of the era's mid-to-upper residential standard and offers durability and thermal mass. The kitchen is described as recently fitted and equipped, with appliances and a separate utility/pantry area, a practical configuration that separates service functions from the living space. Two of the three bedrooms include fitted wardrobes. The bathroom arrangement comprises two full bathrooms, one en-suite, plus a guest WC on the ground floor. Window detailing includes upper-floor shutters and mosquito screens, both functional requirements in this climate, and bedroom ceiling fans provide air movement during warm months; no air conditioning system is listed, which is a factor in a region averaging 18.3°C annually with summer peaks well above that figure. The fireplace in the living room is the listed heating element. Externally, the property includes a covered terrace, two balconies and a planted private garden described as maintained. Parking is a 19 m² area under a pergola rather than an enclosed garage. Condition is recorded as good to fair, which buyers should interpret as sound overall with possible localised updating. No energy certificate value is provided in the documentation, so efficiency must be verified during due diligence. Overall, the specification points to a lived-in, cared-for property rather than a renovated one.
The property is listed at €515,000 as a completed, from-price indication for a three-bedroom semi-detached house of 158 m² on a 284 m² plot. This equates to roughly €3,259 per built square metre. Within the immediate comparison set, Altara Alcaidesa starts at €341,000, Atria in Sotogrande at €423,000 and Adel San Roque at €638,000, placing this property in the middle band. The price reflects the completed status, private plot and established garden rather than off-plan pricing. Furniture is listed as part or fully furnished, which may affect the transaction scope.
Daily life at this property revolves around a walkable neighbourhood core combined with short car journeys for specialised services. The supermarket at 182 metres and the community pool at Piscina Loma del Rey roughly 300 metres away mean that basic shopping, swimming and informal exercise do not require a vehicle. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa, about 880 metres away on a moderate 4.8% gradient, is within walking range for most residents, though the return walk uphill is a factor for some. The house itself supports a two-floor rhythm: ground-floor living, dining and kitchen use with direct access to the covered terrace and garden, and sleeping accommodation upstairs with shutters, mosquito screens and ceiling fans for the warmer months. The fireplace covers cooler winter evenings, when average regional temperatures sit well below summer peaks. Communal life in The Mews is small in scale, shared gardens, a pool and paddle tennis court, which limits facility variety compared with larger resorts but reduces community complexity. Within a two-kilometre radius the documented provision includes five restaurants and one pharmacy, so dining out is convenient while pharmaceutical and medical services require travel of roughly six kilometres to La Atunara, where the health centres and the fishing port are located. The surrounding region registers 66 sports facilities, thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools, indicating year-round residential substance rather than a purely seasonal holiday zone. Nine public transport lines and eight stops give a partial alternative to driving, though a car remains the practical default for Gibraltar, Sotogrande marina or Marbella.
La Alcaidesa functions as a residential coastal settlement with a documented population context of 34,310 inhabitants (2025) in the surrounding municipality and 849 property transactions recorded, indicating an active rather than dormant market. The immediate radius of two kilometres contains five restaurants, one pharmacy, a supermarket at 182 metres and a community pool at 300 metres, which covers routine needs on foot or by bicycle. Health centres number two in the wider area, with the hospital documented at 6.2 km. Tourism infrastructure is moderate, seven hotels with 1,017 beds, suggesting seasonal visitor pressure without the intensity of major resort towns. Education provision of thirteen primary and five secondary schools signals a permanent residential base. Public transport consists of nine lines and eight stops, workable for local movement but not a substitute for car ownership given the dispersion of medical, shopping and charging facilities. The A-7 motorway at junction 124 provides the arterial connection: Algeciras at 16 km, Marbella at 49 km and Gibraltar Airport at about ten kilometres. The area sits at 43 metres above sea level with a moderate slope to the beach, so most errands are flat or gently inclined except the beach return route. With 3,821 recorded sunshine hours per year and 34 local public holidays, the calendar mixes long outdoor seasons with regular local events.
The map shows the property's position within La Alcaidesa, between the A-7 motorway and the beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa. Notable markers include the supermarket within 200 metres, Alcaidesa Links golf course to the west, Sotogrande and its marina to the east, and the Gibraltar border roughly ten kilometres south, the quiet Andalusian corner where Cádiz meets the Costa del Sol.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Alcaidesa occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in Cádiz province, immediately east of the Gibraltar border and contiguous with the Sotogrande resort area. Algeciras, at 16 km with nearly 122,000 inhabitants, is the nearest large city and industrial-port hub. Marbella, 49 km east with around 148,000 inhabitants, anchors the classic Costa del Sol stretch. Jerez de la Frontera, 88 km west, is the largest regional city at over 213,000 inhabitants. The position gives the property dual orientation: toward Cádiz province's quieter Atlantic-tinged coast and toward the busier Marbella corridor.
The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa lies 880 metres away, with Playa de La Atunara at 3.3 km and Playa de Levante at 7.4 km extending the coastal options. Gibraltar Airport is roughly ten kilometres in a straight line, approximately a 15-20 minute drive across the border, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport sits at about 88 km, typically just over an hour by car. Golf access is dense: Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km, La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km and San Roque Club at 3.8 km. Marinas include Puerto de Sotogrande at 7.1 km and Puerto Pesquero de La Atunara at 6.2 km. Daily shopping is at 182 metres, the pharmacy at 5.8 km and the hospital at 6.2 km.

The location records 3,821 sunshine hours per year, a figure that places it among Europe's sunniest coastal areas and supports near year-round terrace and garden use. The average annual temperature is 18.3°C, with the documented swimming season, when sea temperature reaches at least 20°C, running approximately four months, concentrated in summer and early autumn. The property sits at 43 metres above sea level with a moderate 4.8% slope toward the beach, meaning gentle elevation without demanding terrain. The fireplace and bedroom ceiling fans reflect the climate pattern: mild winters with cool evenings and warm summers without listed air conditioning. The surrounding countryside views listed for the property connect to the inland greenbelt between La Alcaidesa and Sotogrande, while the coastal strip offers unbroken Atlantic-Mediterranean frontage. Outdoor living, covered terrace, balconies, garden, is usable across most of the calendar given the documented sun and temperature data.

Playa de La Alcaidesa, at 880 metres, is the primary beach, a long stretch of dark sand backed by the coastal road, known for its un-crowded character relative to Marbella-area beaches. Playa de La Atunara at 3.3 km sits beside the fishing port of the same name. Golf is the area's strongest recreational asset: Alcaidesa Links (1.1 km) and La Hacienda Links Golf Resort (1.3 km) are both within a few minutes' drive, and San Roque Club (3.8 km) adds a third championship option. Padel is available on-site within The Mews, and the Piscina Loma del Rey pool and sports centre lies 300 metres away. Further sports infrastructure in the district totals 66 documented facilities, including the Pista Deportiva Vista Hermosa at 3.3 km. Walking routes include the Mirador del Higuerón viewpoint at 3.2 km.

Within its immediate competitive set, this property occupies a middle price position. Altara Alcaidesa starts at €341,000 and Atria in Sotogrande at €423,000, both newer-stock offerings that compete on specification and developer guarantees, whereas this house competes on plot size, established garden and immediate availability. Adel San Roque, from €638,000, sits clearly above in price band and targets a different buyer profile. Against the wider region, La Alcaidesa presents a distinct proposition relative to both Marbella and Sotogrande proper. Marbella, 49 km east, offers greater density of services, nightlife and international amenities at correspondingly higher price levels and heavier summer traffic. Sotogrande, immediately adjacent, centres on its marina, polo season and large villas, with a price structure generally above La Alcaidesa's. La Alcaidesa itself is a gated community of mixed housing with a long beach, two links golf courses at its edge and a modest commercial core, five restaurants and a supermarket within walking range of the property. The area's documented market activity of 849 transactions and a population base of 34,310 indicate sustained demand. The Cádiz-side position also gives practical advantages: Gibraltar Airport at roughly ten kilometres for UK-bound flights, and Algeciras port at 16 km for Morocco crossings. Buyers comparing this property against new-build alternatives should weigh the trade directly: newer construction and energy documentation on one side, versus a larger plot, mature planting, lower price per square metre than the top comparables and no delivery delay on the other. The absence of listed air conditioning and on-site EV charging reflects the 2004 build date and is consistent with the resale segment of this market.
