A plot on the second line of the beach in Linda Vista

A 2,020 m² plot on the second line of the beach in Linda Vista, holding a resale home with approved Town Hall planning permission for redevelopment or extension. This 4 bedroom detached villa in San Pedro de Alcántara has a total built area of 321 m², of which 175 m² are usable, and sits within walking distance of the sea and the promenade. The gap between the built figure and the usable area is substantial, so a buyer should look at the floor plans to see how terraces, annexes and walls are accounted for in the deeds.

Main house, upper studio and independent annex

Rather than placing all four bedrooms under one roof, the accommodation is split between the main residence and a separate guest unit. The main house contains three bedrooms and three bathrooms, alongside a living room connected to an open-plan kitchen. Large windows and a south-facing orientation bring daylight into this main room throughout the day. On the upper floor, an additional room currently used as an office and painting atelier opens onto a rooftop terrace. Away from the main rooms, a fully independent annex apartment provides the fourth bedroom, the fourth bathroom and its own private kitchen, which works well for visiting relatives or live-in staff who need their own front door.

Garden layout and outdoor space

Most beachside plots in Linda Vista have been built up closer to their boundaries, making a 2,020 m² parcel of land an unusual holdout this close to the shoreline. The house sits with private garden areas to both the front and the rear, plus a swimming pool. Having land on both sides of the building means you can follow the sun or find shade at different times of the day, and it keeps the neighbouring houses at a comfortable distance from the windows.

Planning permission and future options

While the house is in good condition to be used as it stands, the decisive factor for many buyers will be the paperwork attached to the land. The property comes with approved permission from the Town Hall for several different schemes. A buyer can keep and extend the existing villa, divide the plot to build two private villas or four townhouses, or convert the property for communal accommodation, offices or hospitality use. Anyone buying for the land should have their lawyer verify the exact terms, buildability allowances and expiry dates of these municipal licences before committing to a project.
