This two-bedroom townhouse is located in San Roque, in the province of Cádiz, roughly 3.4 km as the crow flies from Playa de La Colonia on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 115 m² of built space, one bathroom, a 20 m² private terrace and a south orientation. The house dates from 1970 and is sold in key-ready condition, although the listing states that restoration is required. Amenities such as a supermarket (360 m), pharmacy (110 m) and hospital (367 m) are within walking distance. The fixed asking price is €81,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an urban area of San Roque with shops and services within walking distance. The nearest beach, Playa de La Colonia, lies 3.4 km away in a straight line, with two further beaches within 3.7 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 7 km distant, and the train station of San Roque - La Línea is about 4.2 km away.
The house provides two bedrooms, one bathroom and 115 m² of living space across a traditional townhouse layout, plus a 20 m² covered private terrace and a storage room. Fibre optic and WiFi are available. Access for people with reduced mobility is listed as a feature. Parking is on the street; there is no private garage.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1970 and is offered as a resale property in key-ready condition, meaning it can be transferred without waiting for construction. The stated condition is that restoration works are required, so buyers should budget time and cost for refurbishment after purchase.
The property has one bathroom only and no private parking space. It requires restoration, and views are limited to a courtyard rather than open vistas. There is no communal pool or garden; the garden is private and modest in scale. The building's 1970 construction predates modern insulation standards, which buyers should factor into renovation plans.
This property fits a buyer with a limited budget who is willing to carry out renovation work in exchange for a low entry price on the Costa del Sol. Recognisable situations include: a hands-on buyer seeking a project home within walking distance of everyday services; someone wanting a low-cost base near the coast, accepting a 3.4 km straight-line distance to the beach rather than frontline position; or an investor looking at refurbishment-and-rent strategies in a town with 849 housing transactions per year and steady local demand. The single bathroom and two bedrooms suit singles, couples or small families, or use as a holiday base. It also suits buyers who prioritise walkability, pharmacy, supermarket, bank and hospital all within roughly 400 m, over resort-style amenities. It is less suitable for buyers wanting a modern, move-in-ready home, private parking, sea views or communal facilities such as a pool. International buyers drawn to the Sotogrande area, whose new-build prices start several times higher, may view this as a lower-cost alternative within the same municipality, 7.5 km from Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus. The need for restoration, however, means buyers should have renovation budget, local trades contacts or project-management capacity before committing.
The house was built in 1970 and its current finishing reflects that era. The available photographs show a living room with built-in shelving, a corner room with gingham-style tiling, a bathroom with vanity, shower and mirror, and an interior patio planted with greenery, plus a rear yard with access door. These are functional but dated finishes; the listing explicitly categorises the condition as 'restoration required', so buyers should expect to renew kitchens, bathrooms, wiring and possibly plumbing as part of any refurbishment. On the technical side, the property is connected to fibre optic and WiFi, which indicates modern telecommunications infrastructure reaches the address. Accessibility is listed as a feature, with access for people with reduced mobility. The 20 m² terrace is covered, extending usable outdoor time into the hotter and wetter months, and a storage room adds practical space that older townhouses often lack. The garden is private rather than communal. As a 1970 building, the construction predates contemporary energy-efficiency regulations; insulation, glazing and heating systems should be assessed during a technical survey, and upgrading them would typically form part of the restoration works. In short, the structure and layout are the asset here, while the finishing level is whatever the buyer chooses to install, a common position for resale properties at this price point on the Costa del Sol.
The asking price is fixed at €81,000 for the complete property, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse of 115 m² built area with a 20 m² terrace. This is an existing resale home, not a new-build with a price list, so the figure is a firm asking price rather than a starting price. At roughly €705 per m² of built area, the property sits far below regional new-build benchmarks: comparable new developments in nearby Sotogrande start from €341,000 (Altara Alcaidesa), €423,000 (Atria) and €551,000 (Adel San Roque). Buyers should note that the restoration requirement means the purchase price is not the total cost of a move-in-ready home. Availability is immediate in principle, as the house is key-ready; completion dates for any transaction remain indicative.
This townhouse is situated in the working Andalusian town of San Roque, an inland urban setting at 99 m elevation that nevertheless sits close to the coast, the nearest beach is 3.4 km away in a straight line, on a largely flat gradient of about 2.8%. Daily life here is genuinely local: a pharmacy 110 m from the door, a supermarket 360 m away and a hospital at 367 m mean most errands can be done on foot. The wider municipality counts some 34,310 inhabitants (2025), with 13 primary schools, 5 secondary schools and 2 health centres, which supports year-round living rather than a seasonal resort rhythm. The house itself faces south and looks onto a courtyard, with a covered 20 m² private terrace for outdoor use and a separate storage room. Inside, the interior reflects its 1970 origin and is listed as requiring restoration, so the buyer effectively purchases a shell with sound bones, 115 m² over a traditional layout, to modernise to their own standard. Images show a plant-filled patio, a living room with built-in shelving, tiled corner rooms, a functional bathroom and a rear yard. A car is described as useful but not strictly necessary: nine public transport lines and eight stops serve the area, and the San Roque - La Línea station is roughly 4 km away. For buyers seeking an affordable foothold in southern Spain with services at the doorstep and beaches a short drive away, this property represents the entry level of the Cádiz market.
Living at this address means daily life plays out in a compact urban environment. Within 2 km there are 7 restaurants, 7 cafés, 6 banks, 4 pharmacies, a dentist and a school, so the neighbourhood functions throughout the year rather than only in tourist season. The municipal swimming pool (Piscina del Chiropractic excepted, Piscina del Chorro at 1.0 km) and the Complejo Deportivo Vicente Blanca sports centre (0.4 km) provide exercise options close to home, alongside Club Tenis Gaviota at 0.6 km. Several viewpoints, Mirador Poeta Domingo de Mena at just 200 m, Mirador de Los Cañones at 300 m, offer local walking routes with views over the surrounding landscape. The nearest beach, Playa de La Colonia, is 3.4 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Refinería and Playa de Puente Mayorga-Campamento at 3.6 km and 3.7 km respectively; road distances will be somewhat longer. Marinas lie at a similar range, including Puerto Deportivo de Puente Mayorga at 3.4 km. Algeciras, with around 122,000 inhabitants and full urban services, is 10 km away in a straight line. Public transport comprises 9 lines and 8 stops in the area, and the train stations of San Roque - La Línea are approximately 4.2–4.3 km from the property.
The map shows the property in the urban centre of San Roque, with the pharmacy, supermarket and hospital clustered within 400 m. The coastline with its beaches lies roughly 3.4 km to the south-east, and the golf courses of the Sotogrande area appear between 7 and 8 km away. All distances shown are straight-line measurements; road routes are longer.

San Roque occupies a strategic position on the western Costa del Sol, close to the Gibraltar border and the Sotogrande estate. Algeciras, 10 km away, is the major port city of the Bay of Gibraltar; Marbella lies 56 km east along the coast; and Jerez de la Frontera is 85 km to the north-west. This places the property within reach of both the Costa del Sol's resort belt and Cádiz province's Atlantic coast. Within the local market, San Roque town itself offers the most affordable housing in an area otherwise dominated by premium Sotogrande developments, making it a practical base for those working at, or enjoying, the coast without paying resort prices.
Accessibility is one of this location's practical strengths. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 7 km away in a straight line, one of the shortest airport distances on the entire coast, while Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies about 94 km away and Alicante-Elche at approximately 485 km. The train stations of San Roque - La Línea (4.2 and 4.3 km) and Los Barrios (8.0 km) connect the town to the regional rail network. By car, the coastal beaches at 3.4–3.7 km and the three golf resorts, La Hacienda Links (7.4 km), Alcadeisa Links (7.6 km) and San Roque Club (7.8 km), are all short drives. Electric-vehicle charging points are located at Puente Mayorga and Lidl Puente Mayorga, both 3.2 km away, with a further point at Punto Ribot (5.0 km). For those without a car, the data notes that a vehicle is convenient but not essential: the supermarket, hospital and pharmacy are all within roughly 400 m, and 9 public transport lines serve the municipality.

San Roque sits at 99 m above sea level, and the gradient from the town to the nearest beach averages about 2.8%, effectively flat terrain that makes cycling and walking towards the coast realistic. The climate is Mediterranean with an Atlantic influence: the average annual temperature is 18.2°C, warm enough that outdoor living on the south-facing covered terrace is possible for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about 4 months, typically June through September. Sunshine hours are characteristic of Spain's southern coast, supporting the terrace-and-patio lifestyle the property's layout suggests. The nearest natural attractions include the viewpoints within 1 km of the house, and the coastline west towards Alcaidesa and Sotogrande offers beach and walking options. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, so winters are mild but not entirely dry, relevant for buyers planning renovation work, which is most comfortably scheduled in the drier spring and summer period.

Within its immediate market area, this townhouse occupies the bottom of the price spectrum. The three closest comparable developments are all new-build projects in the Sotogrende area: Altara Alcaidesa from €341,000, Atria from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from €551,000. Against those figures, the €81,000 asking price here, roughly 24% of the cheapest new-build alternative, reflects three differences: the property is a 1970 resale rather than new construction, it requires restoration, and it sits in San Roque town rather than within the Sotogrande resort environment itself. The trade-off is meaningful in both directions. The buyer of this house gains a genuine Spanish town with 34,310 inhabitants, schools, health centres and year-round commerce, plus the same regional access, beaches at 3.4 km, three golf courses within 7.8 km, Gibraltar Airport at 7 km, that supports Sotogrande's premium pricing. What the buyer gives up is modern build quality, energy performance, communal facilities and, in most cases, proximity to the fairways and marina. Compared with Algeciras, 10 km away and a larger but more industrial city, San Roque town offers a quieter, more traditional setting. Compared with Marbella, 56 km east, prices here are substantially lower while the climate statistics are similar. For the regional market as a whole, 849 housing transactions per year in the municipality, the property represents the renovation segment: buyers whose total budget, including works, remains well below new-build pricing in the same postcode area. Prospective buyers should weigh the restoration cost carefully, as it determines whether the total outlay stays competitive once the works are complete.
