This detached villa stands in Ciudad Quesada, an inland urbanisation within the Rojales municipality on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers 193 m² of living space arranged over two floors, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a basement, a double garage and a private garden with infinity pool. Sea views extend across the bay of Guardamar and Santa Pola. The asking price is fixed at €625,000 and the house is key-ready, with construction dating from 1970 and subsequent modernisation reflected in the current finish.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in a built-up residential area of Ciudad Quesada with day-to-day amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at roughly 860 metres and a pharmacy at about 820 metres. Beaches such as Platja del Montcaio and Platja del Camp lie around 5.6 km away as the crow flies. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 27 km in a straight line.
The layout serves permanent or seasonal residence: three bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodate a family or visiting guests, while the open-plan kitchen and living/dining area opens onto a covered outdoor dining space. A private solarium, basement, storage room and double garage add practical capacity for longer stays and hobby use.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was completed in 1970 and is offered key-ready as an existing home, with a fixed asking price rather than a price list. Interior photographs show modernised rooms and a contemporary pool terrace, indicating refurbishment at some stage; the exact renovation history should be verified during viewing.
The plot is compact at 297 m², which limits garden size relative to the 193 m² of built area. The property listing combines private and communal pool references, so the exact pool arrangement requires confirmation. The build year of 1970 means buyers should assess installation condition, and the area is inland, so the sea is not within walking distance.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A retired or semi-retired couple planning full-time residence in Spain would find the walkable amenities, central heating and air conditioning, and proximity of a hospital at 2.3 km practical for year-round living. A family needing three bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus garage space and a basement for storage, would find the layout workable, although the compact plot means outdoor play space is limited to the pool terrace and garden. Buyers seeking a second home with strong letting potential may note the pool, sea views and furnished condition, but any rental plan should first be checked against local licensing rules in the Valencia region. The villa is less suited to buyers wanting a new-build warranty, since the 1970 construction date places the emphasis on inspection rather than developer guarantees. It also does not suit those wanting to walk to the beach each day: the coast is around 5.6 km away as the crow flies, which in practice means a short drive. Golfers, however, benefit from La Marquesa adjacent to the urbanisation and La Finca roughly 7 km away. Finally, buyers who value character features, the underwater pool observatory, the solarium, the waterfall in the infinity pool, over uniform new-build specification will find this house offers elements that standard developments typically do not.
The listing describes a two-storey villa with an open-plan kitchen, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a private solarium and a basement. Climate control is addressed on two fronts: air conditioning for the summer months and central heating for winter, a combination that supports comfortable year-round occupation rather than seasonal use only. An alarm system is installed, and the property includes a double garage, a meaningful practical asset in a urbanisation where on-street parking is not always guaranteed. The outdoor specification is where the property distinguishes itself: an infinity pool with a waterfall feature, a covered dining area connected to the living space, a barbecue installation and a private solarium. The ground-floor relaxation room with an underwater pool observatory is an unusual construction detail that suggests bespoke design work rather than standard builder finishing. Interior photographs show modernised bedrooms with contemporary furniture and updated finishes, consistent with the listing's furnished status. Against this, buyers should apply normal due diligence for a 1970 build: the age of the electrical installation, plumbing, waterproofing of the basement and solarium, and the pool's filtration and structural condition are all points for a technical survey. The mixed furniture listing (fully and part furnished) should be clarified contractually. Nothing in the available data describes energy performance documentation, insulation levels or recent renovation certificates, so these should be requested from the vendor rather than assumed.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €625,000 as an existing, key-ready home. That figure is not a starting price from which other units vary; it applies to this specific property with its 193 m² of living space, 297 m² plot, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, basement, double garage and pool. For context, new-build comparables in Ciudad Quesada currently advertise from around €549,000 to €690,000, which places this property in the mid-to-upper segment of the local market. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees. Furniture is listed as both fully and part furnished, so the precise inventory included in the price should be confirmed in writing. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life at this villa revolves around a clear indoor-outdoor rhythm. The ground floor combines an open kitchen with a living/dining room that leads directly to a covered outdoor dining area beside the garden and infinity pool, so meals and downtime can shift outside for much of the year. A relaxation room on this level includes an underwater pool observatory, a distinctive feature that connects the interior visually with the water. Upstairs, the bedrooms take in views over the garden and, according to the listing, the bay of Guardamar and Santa Pola. The private solarium provides a further outdoor space positioned for sun exposure. The surroundings are urban rather than rural: Ciudad Quesada is a consolidated residential town with a supermarket under 900 metres away, a pharmacy slightly closer, and roughly 25 restaurants within a 2 km radius, alongside banks, cafés and a dentist. This density means errands can mostly be done on foot or by short drive. Public transport exists, nine lines and five stops are recorded locally, so a car is convenient but not essential for everything. Sports facilities such as Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at about 3.4 km and Polideportivo El Molino at 3.5 km cover routine exercise needs. The elevation of roughly 69 metres gives the area gentle gradients rather than steep hills, which matters for walking and cycling. Outside the summer season, the town retains a resident population, so shops and services continue operating year-round, a relevant consideration for anyone planning extended stays rather than short holiday visits.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained residential town on the southern Costa Blanca, inland from Guardamar del Segura. The immediate environment is urban with services at walking distance: supermarket at about 860 m, pharmacy at 819 m, and within 2 km some 25 restaurants, several banks, a café and a dentist. A hospital sits 2.3 km away, which is a relevant distance for older residents or families. Recreational infrastructure is well developed, La Marquesa golf course borders the urbanisation, La Finca golf is roughly 7 km away, and sports centres lie between 3.4 and 3.5 km from the property. For waterside leisure, the nearest beaches at Guardamar are about 5.6 km in a straight line, and the Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes is 7.6 km away. Neighbouring towns, Rojales, Almoradí, Guardamar and Torrevieja, broaden the options for shopping, markets and dining. A car is convenient for beach trips, golf and airport runs, though daily errands are manageable on foot. Public transport (nine lines, five stops) provides a partial alternative. The position is inland but elevated only slightly, at 69 m, so the sea views mentioned in the listing depend on the upper floors and solarium rather than ground-level sightlines.
The map shows the villa's position within Ciudad Quesada: an inland urbanisation a short drive from the Guardamar beaches, with La Marquesa golf at the edge of town and everyday amenities within walking distance. Straight-line distances are marked for beaches, golf courses, the hospital and regional cities.

Ciudad Quesada occupies an inland but coastal-oriented position within the Rojales municipality, on the southern Costa Blanca between Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura. Regional anchors sit at moderate distances: Elche at 22 km, Murcia at 37 km and Alicante at 38 km straight-line. This places the villa within reach of two provincial capitals and their airports, while remaining in a residential town rather than a tourist resort. Compared with beachfront zones, the area trades seafront proximity for space, golf access and generally lower price levels per square metre.
By car, the villa connects readily to the regional road network. Alicante-Elche airport lies approximately 27 km away in a straight line, typically a drive of well under an hour, while the alternatives of Valencia (about 159 km) and Málaga (roughly 369 km) are considerably further. Beaches at Platja del Montcaio, Platja del Camp and Platja de La Roqueta are all around 5.6 to 5.8 km as the crow flies, so a short drive covers the coast. Golfers can reach La Finca at roughly 7.1 km, Villamartín at 15 km and Campoamor at 16 km. Everyday services cluster closely: supermarket 860 m, pharmacy 819 m, hospital 2.3 km, and an EV charging point at Iberdrola Oasis Center about 3.8 km away, a detail worth noting for electric vehicle owners given the property's double garage. Larger cities frame the region: Elche at 22 km, Murcia at 37 km and Alicante at 38 km straight-line distance. Public transport exists locally but is limited in reach, so a car remains the practical mode for regional travel.

The climate data points to a typical southern-Costa Blanca profile: average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C at the summer peak, with an annual average of 18.8°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of at least 20°C, runs about five months, meaning the villa's infinity pool and solarium see intensive use from late spring through early autumn, while central heating covers the mild but occasionally cool winter evenings. Elevation is 69 metres above sea level, giving a flat to gently rolling terrain that suits walking and cycling without the hill climbs found further inland toward Orihuela. The inland position, a few kilometres from the coast, slightly moderates summer humidity compared with beachfront locations, while the sea views from the upper floors retain a visual connection to the coast. Sunshine hours in the region support the outdoor-oriented layout of the house for most of the year, and the covered dining terrace extends usable outdoor time into the shoulder seasons.

The nearest beaches, Platja del Montcaio, Platja del Camp and Platja de La Roqueta, all lie between 5.6 and 5.8 km away as the crow flies, part of the long sandy stretch running from Guardamar del Segura toward Santa Pola. These are dune-backed family beaches rather than rocky coves, generally broad and suited to swimming and walks. For boating and waterfront dining, the Marina de les Dunes port is about 7.6 km away. Golf is the strongest recreational card: La Marquesa sits essentially next to the urbanisation, La Finca is roughly 7 km away, and Villamartín and Campoamor extend the circuit at 15 and 16 km respectively, enough variety for regular play across the week. Everyday sport is covered by Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino (3.5 km), with a taekwondo club at 5 km. A water park in the wider area adds a family option in summer. In short, recreation here splits between the pool and solarium at home, golf on the doorstep, and the coast a short drive away.

Within Ciudad Quesada itself, the comparable supply is dominated by new-build villa projects advertised from prices: LO MARABU VILLAS from €549,000, VILLAS LAS LAGUNAS at €649,000 key-ready, and CITY-ISLAND from €690,000. At a fixed €625,000, this 1970 villa sits between the entry-level and mid-range new-build pricing, a position that makes the comparison genuinely two-sided. On paper, a buyer at this budget can choose between a modern construction with developer warranties at a slightly higher or lower price point, and this older property with features new builds rarely offer: an underwater pool observatory, a solarium, a basement, a double garage and mature sea views over the Guardamar bay. The trade-off is the construction date. A 1970 build places responsibility for condition, installations and any latent defects on the buyer and a technical survey, whereas the new-build comparables carry the standard ten-year structural guarantee and modern energy standards. Plot size is the second differentiator: at 297 m², this property is tighter than many new villas in the area, which typically sit on larger plots further from the town centre. What it gains in exchange is location within the consolidated urbanisation, with the supermarket, pharmacy and roughly 25 restaurants within 2 km. Regionally, Ciudad Quesada prices remain below those of premium coastal zones such as Guardamar beachfront or the Orihuela Costa strip, while offering similar access to the same beaches (about 5.6 km straight-line) and three golf courses within 16 km. For a buyer weighing this villa against the new-build options, the decision effectively comes down to character and immediate walkability on one side against build guarantee and specification on the other.
