Casa Passiva A Chiclana: Massima Efficienza Energetica E Potenziale DI Espansione

Engel&Völkers presents a newly built semi-detached passive house located in a quiet residential area. The property sits on a 500 m² urban plot with access to two traffic-free streets, notable for its bioclimatic design and extremely high thermal-acoustic efficiency.

The house currently offers 95 m² of built area and 79 m² of usable space on a single floor. The main area is an open-concept living-dining room that integrates a high-end kitchen. It is equipped with Siemens appliances, a central island with a water zone, dishwasher, and storage, seamlessly extended by a solid wood dining table.

Natural light floods the rooms through large glazed openings. The finishes include continuous light oak parquet flooring, perimeter and indirect LED lighting integrated into the ceilings, a cross-ventilation system, air conditioning, and wooden blade ceiling fans to promote air circulation.

The resting area consists of two bedrooms where the exterior carpentry serves as both window and door with direct access to the plot:

- Master Suite: Includes a custom walk-in closet, resting area, desk or storage space, and a full bathroom. The bathroom features a functional design with wall-hung sanitary fixtures, a walk-in shower with glass screen, and wall coverings combining textures and wood finishes.
- Secondary Bedroom / Office: Optimized space with a custom wooden structure that elevates the bed (loft style), freeing the entire lower area for use as an office and storage.
- Main Guest Toilet: In addition to the en-suite bathroom, the house includes a toilet with pre-installation (water and drainage connections) already in place to add a shower in the future.

The plot features low-maintenance landscaping combining lawn areas, porcelain paving, and polished concrete in the access and parking zones.

- Pool: Basin lined with deep blue porcelain stoneware, equipped with a salt chlorination system and pre-installation for heating.
- Porches: An east-facing entrance porch and a covered rear porch with a pergola facing southwest. The latter’s structure is designed to support a future enclosure (glass or masonry) to expand the interior living area.
- Outdoor Storage: Independent laundry room and an existing storage room, with spatial and technical provisions to build two additional storage rooms. The exterior facade is finished with warm-toned rustic mortar.

STRUCTURE AND EXPANSION PROJECT (UP TO 180 m²)

A major asset of this property is its structural foresight. The building is designed and built to support a second floor, potentially reaching a total area of 180 m².

- Foundation: 1-meter thick ventilated crawl space, ensuring total insulation from the ground and high load-bearing capacity.
- Architectural Project: The comprehensive design contemplates and documents both the current ground floor and the future first floor.
- Executed Infrastructure: The exterior masonry staircase providing independent access to the accessible flat roof is already built.
- Available Materials: The sale includes construction materials already purchased and stored for the expansion phase, notably premium-quality exterior carpentry (windows) intended for the first floor.

The preliminary design for the upper floor includes a new master bedroom with en-suite bathroom for the current home, plus an independent apartment (living-kitchen, bathroom, and one bedroom). From this height, panoramic views of the salt marshes and the Bay of Cádiz can be enjoyed.

SYSTEMS AND INSTALLATIONS (PASSIVE STANDARD)

Passive performance and hygrothermal comfort are achieved through state-of-the-art technologies and insulation:

- Thermal Envelope: Thick insulation in floors and perimeter walls, minimizing thermal bridges.
- Exterior Carpentry: Highly energy-efficient enclosures with triple glazing. Frames finished in exclusive matte olive green ensure airtightness and acoustic insulation.
- Climate Control: Zoned underfloor heating throughout the house, supported by split-type air conditioning units in the living room and master suite.
- Home Automation and Ventilation: Automated cross-ventilation system for indoor air renewal without temperature loss. Climate control (underfloor heating and AC), blinds, and ventilation are fully automated and manageable via WiFi.

Understanding the true value of this property requires looking beyond its current built area. It is not just a home but a work of advanced bioclimatic engineering and a future project already underway.

The Los Gallos area is considered one of the most valued and balanced residential neighborhoods in Chiclana de la Frontera.

Its main appeal lies in its unbeatable strategic location: a quiet, tree-lined enclave exactly halfway between the urban life of the city center and the spectacular La Barrosa beach.

It is a location designed for those seeking quality of life without sacrificing comfort.

Nature and Outdoors

The environment is deeply influenced by its proximity to the Bay of Cádiz Natural Park. Just a few minutes’ walk away lies the landscape of local salt marshes, a protected area offering kilometers of walking trails and cycling routes (such as the popular EuroVelo Route). It is a paradise for birdwatching enthusiasts, sunset walks, and outdoor sports.

The tranquility and connection with nature are reflected in the neighborhood’s streets, many named after native birds inhabiting the bay.

Services and Connectivity

Living in Los Gallos means having everything you need close at hand. The area offers excellent commercial and service infrastructure just meters away:

- Supermarkets from major chains and local shops
- Medical centers and pharmacies
- A varied gastronomic offer, from cafes to quality restaurants
- Bus stops and easy access to main roads connecting quickly to San Fernando, Cádiz, and major highways

A Consolidated Residential Neighborhood

This is a mature, well-planned urbanization characterized by wide avenues, green areas, and a predominantly family-friendly atmosphere. Away from the summer bustle of beachfront areas, Los Gallos maintains a serene and safe pace of life year-round.

In short, it is the ideal setting both to establish a permanent residence surrounded by peace and comfort and to enjoy a privileged holiday retreat on the Cádiz coast.
