A refurbished family house in the village of Secadero

The house looks out over a lawn, a private swimming pool and the surrounding mountains. This 5 bedroom detached villa with garden in Casares stands in the white village of Secadero, offering 347 square metres of built area that has been recently renovated. Rather than sitting in an isolated urbanisation, the property puts shops, cafes and sports facilities within walking distance while keeping the privacy of a standalone plot.

Plot, heated pool and garden

The villa sits on a 569 square metre plot. When a house has a 347 square metre built area on a plot of this size, the balance between building and land is a defining factor. Depending on how that built area is distributed, a good share of the ground is occupied by the footprint of the house, which means less grass to mow and water, though a buyer wanting vast grounds will find the boundary closer to the walls. The outdoor area that remains is arranged for regular use rather than display: it holds a maintained lawn, tropical planting, a dedicated chiringuito area by the water, and a heated private pool. Heating the water extends the swimming season well into the cooler months of the year, making the garden useful outside July and August. Private parking is also included on the property.

Five bedrooms and a recent refurbishment

Inside, the house provides five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Finding five bedrooms in a village house allows a larger family to give children their own rooms or set aside dedicated work areas without using the main reception rooms. Because this 5 bedroom detached villa with garden in Casares has been refurbished, a buyer avoids the immediate disruption of hiring tradesmen, waiting for municipal building licences and managing a renovation from afar. When viewing, it is still sensible to ask for the exact scope of the refurbishment—specifically whether the plumbing, wiring and pool heating equipment were renewed along with the visible surfaces.

Daily life in Secadero and school access

Secadero is a working white village in the municipality of Casares that borders the edge of the Sotogrande area. Living here means a teenager or visiting relative does not need a car to fetch coffee or play sport: the village has its own cafes, a padel club and a municipal sports complex, all within walking distance of the front door. For families with school-age children, there is a local school in the village itself, while Sotogrande International School and Alma Forest School are both within a short drive, as is the coast.
