This semi-detached house is located in Ciudad Quesada, in the southern part of the Alicante province on the Costa Blanca. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 88 m² of living space and a plot of 203 m², and is offered key-ready with a fixed asking price of €289,000. The home is sold fully furnished, including white goods, and has a newly fitted kitchen, air conditioning and central heating. Two golf courses, a marina and a wide range of daily amenities lie within a short radius of the village, while Alicante-Elche Airport sits roughly 27 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada is an inland residential village in the Rojales municipality, set on low-lying terrain at about 69 metres above sea level. The surroundings combine residential streets with golf courses and salt lagoons. Elche lies 22 km away in a straight line, Alicante 38 km and Murcia 37 km, placing the village between two regional centres. Distances mentioned are straight-line; road distances are longer.
The house is arranged across two floors with a living room featuring a fireplace, a fitted kitchen and a guest WC on the ground floor, and two bedrooms with a bathroom upstairs. Both upper bedrooms open onto private terraces. A covered terrace and a 203 m² plot provide outdoor space, and parking within the plot is large enough for a camper van. Residents share a communal swimming pool.
This concerns an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction dates from 1970 and the property is available immediately in key-ready condition. The kitchen has been recently replaced and the interior is delivered furnished with white goods included. The stated completion date is historical; viewing the actual condition of the structure is part of the purchase process.
The swimming pool is communal rather than private. The living area of 88 m² is modest relative to the plot size, and three bedrooms are spread across two floors, which involves stairs in daily use. The building dates from 1970, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations. No private garden landscaping, garage or storage details are recorded in the data.

This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a ready-to-use second home benefits from the furnished delivery, the communal pool and the modest interior that keeps cleaning and upkeep manageable between visits. A household with a camper van, trailer or several vehicles will value the parking capacity within the plot, which the current owners already use for that purpose. Buyers who prioritise outdoor space over interior volume are the natural audience: the plot is generous while the living area of 88 m² is modest, so a family needing three large bedrooms and multiple living zones may find the layout tight. Permanent residents without a car should weigh their options: amenities within 2 km cover basics, there are five public transport stops on nine lines, but the nearest larger employment and service centres of Elche, Alicante and Murcia all require driving. Golf players find La Finca golf club 6.9 km away in a straight line and Villamartín 14.9 km, both within a short drive. Buyers wanting a brand-new building with current energy standards will not find that here; the 1970 construction and its renovation history deserve a technical survey. Finally, the price position relative to new-build alternatives makes the house relevant for buyers weighing the trade-off between modern construction and more land for the same budget.
The house was built in 1970, which sets the baseline for construction standards: insulation, glazing and installations originate from that era unless subsequently renewed. Two updates are documented: a newly fitted kitchen, shown in the listing photographs with marble-look countertops, and a modernised bathroom with marble-style wall finishes. Climate control is covered on two fronts, air conditioning for summer and central heating for winter, supplemented by a fireplace in the living room, which together suit a region where winter nights can drop toward 12 °C on average in the coldest month. The property is delivered fully furnished and including white goods, which reduces initial move-in costs. The finishes visible in the photographs suggest a partial modernisation rather than a complete renovation; the fireplace and general layout retain the character of the original build. Practical observations for a viewing: the state of the roof and structure, the age of the electrical installation, the window frames and glazing, and the condition of the central heating boiler are the usual points of attention in a house of this age. The two upper bedrooms each have a private terrace; their waterproofing and railings are worth inspecting. The covered terrace extends the usable outdoor season. No energy performance certificate details are available in the data, so running costs for heating and cooling should be estimated on the basis of actual consumption during due diligence.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €289,000, inclusive of furniture and white goods. This is an existing home completed in 1970 and available in key-ready condition, meaning no waiting period for construction applies. Compared with new-build projects in the same village, currently advertised from roughly €322,000 to €373,000, this asking price sits noticeably lower, which reflects the age of the building and the smaller built area. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees, which are not included in the asking price. Annual community fees and local taxes are not stated in the available data.
Daily life in this house revolves around a compact indoor layout combined with unusually generous outdoor space. The 88 m² interior is spread over two levels: downstairs a living room with a fireplace as its focal point, a new kitchen and a guest WC; upstairs two bedrooms, a bathroom and two private terraces. The terraces function as small outdoor rooms, useful for morning sun or evening air without leaving the bedroom floor. The plot of 203 m² is the property's defining feature. It is more than twice the built footprint, which leaves room for garden areas, seating space and parking for multiple vehicles, including a camper van according to the current owners. For a household that values outdoor living or travels with a van or boat equipment, this is a practical attribute rarely found at this price level in the region. Ciudad Quesada itself behaves as a year-round village rather than a seasonal resort. Within 2 km there are some 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, so most daily errands can be done on foot or by a short drive. The communal pool covers the swimming need during the roughly five-month season when sea and pool water exceed 20 °C. Winters are mild, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12 °C in the coldest month to 26 °C in summer; the fireplace and central heating cover the cooler evenings. The absence of a private pool means no private pool maintenance, though community fees apply instead.
Ciudad Quesada sits inland from the coast at a modest elevation of 69 metres, which keeps the terrain largely flat, convenient for cycling and walking. The village has the density of amenities typical of a settled residential area: restaurants, pharmacies, banks and a dentist within 2 km cover daily needs. Public transport exists in the form of five stops across nine lines, workable for local trips but not a substitute for a car for regional travel. The road network connects to the AP-7 and N-332 corridors toward Torrevieja, Alicante and Murcia. Alicante-Elche Airport lies about 27 km away as the crow flies, reachable by car within roughly half an hour under normal conditions. Elche (22 km straight-line), Murcia (37 km) and Alicante (38 km) frame the village from three sides, each offering hospitals, larger retail and cultural facilities. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta is 3.4 km away and the municipal sports centre El Molino 3.5 km, both within easy reach. An EV charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center 3.8 km away serves electric drivers. The rhythm of the village is steady through the year, with an international resident population that keeps restaurants and services open beyond the summer season. Local life includes 32 public holidays per year in the municipality's calendar, a reminder that Spanish towns pause regularly for festivals and traditions.
The map shows Ciudad Quesada's inland position between the coastal strip and the regional centres of Elche, Alicante and Murcia. Note that golf courses, the marina and the airport distances shown are straight-line measurements; road routes follow the terrain and take longer. The village itself sits on flat terrain at low elevation.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a specific niche on the southern Costa Blanca: far enough inland to avoid resort density and its price level, close enough to the Orihuela Costa beaches for a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive. Its position between Torrevieja, Elche and Murcia, at 22 to 38 km straight-line distance from the larger centres, makes it equally reachable from both Alicante and Murcia airports' catchment areas, with Alicante-Elche the practical choice at roughly 27 km. Within the regional hierarchy it is a residential village with a full amenity base, not a town, which is reflected in its property prices relative to the coastal strip.
The beach is not on the doorstep: Ciudad Quesada lies inland, and the nearest coastal facilities are around the Marinas de Dunes area, with Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes 7.6 km away as the crow flies, a drive of roughly 10 to 15 minutes by road. Golf is closer at hand: Club de Golf La Finca lies 6.9 km in a straight line, and Club de Golf Villamartín 14.9 km, giving two courses within a quarter-hour drive. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 27 km away in a straight line, the most-used gateway for international arrivals; Valencia airport is 159 km and Málaga 369 km, both only realistic for occasional travel. A car is effectively necessary for daily life beyond the immediate village amenities. Parking is not a constraint at the property itself, since the plot accommodates several vehicles. All distances cited are straight-line; actual road distances and travel times are longer, and the travel times mentioned elsewhere refer to driving under normal conditions.

The climate data points to a typical southern Costa Blanco pattern: an average annual temperature of 18.8 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer. That range means heating is useful for a few winter months, which the central heating and fireplace address, while summers are warm enough to make air conditioning and the communal pool genuinely functional. The swimming season lasts about five months, the period in which water temperatures reach 20 °C or more. The elevation of 69 metres means no notable slopes within the village; walking and cycling are unhindered by terrain. The surrounding landscape is a mix of residential areas, golf courses and the nearby salt lagoons of the region, which attract birdlife and give the area an open horizon. Sunshine hours in this part of the Alicante province are among the higher figures for mainland Spain, which is precisely what supports the terrace-oriented use of a house like this: the two bedroom terraces and the covered ground-floor terrace effectively add outdoor living space for most of the year.

Coastal recreation requires a short drive. The marina at Las Dunes, 7.6 km as the crow flies, anchors the nearest stretch of coastal leisure with its sports harbour and adjacent beaches of the Orihuela Costa and Guardamar direction. Golf is the closest recreational asset: La Finca, 6.9 km in a straight line, is one of the better-regarded courses in the southern Alicante province, and Villamartín at 14.9 km adds a second option, so a golfing household can vary between courses within twenty minutes. For other sports, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino (3.5 km) cover racket sports and general training, and a taekwondo club sits 5 km away. Within the village itself, the communal pool of the community handles daily swimming, and the flat terrain supports cycling and walking as everyday exercise rather than scheduled sport. The 25 restaurants within 2 km provide the social side of recreation, from local Spanish kitchens to the international fare typical of this part of the coast.

Within Ciudad Quesada itself, the market currently splits between existing homes and new-build phases. Three comparable new-build projects in the village are advertised at from-prices of €322,000 (Lo Marabú bungalows, phase 2), €364,000 (Area Beach V Lo Marabú, phases 1 and 2) and €373,000 (phases 3 and 4). Against that backdrop, the fixed asking price of €289,000 for this semi-detached house positions it clearly below the entry level of new construction in the same village, a difference of at least €33,000 at the lowest comparison point. The trade-off is explicit: new-build buyers get current construction standards, developer warranties and modern energy performance, while this property offers a larger plot ratio, immediate availability and delivery including furniture and white goods, offset by a 1970 build date whose installations and insulation predate current regulations unless renewed. More broadly, Ciudad Quesada sits in the value segment of the southern Costa Blanca. The inland villages around Rojales and Ciudad Quesada generally price below the Orihuela Costa beachfront, which lies a short drive away, and below the Marbella-centred Costa del Sol further south, where comparable villas command substantially higher figures. The regional economy context matters for expectations: the median income in the province is €15,750, and the local market is driven largely by international buyers rather than domestic purchasing power, which shapes both the amenity offering, 25 restaurants within 2 km, and the seasonal rhythm of the village. For buyers comparing options, the realistic set of alternatives is: a new-build bungalow at €322,000 with less land, a new apartment-style unit in the €364,000–€373,000 range, or this older house with more outdoor space and a lower entry price but renovation-era construction. Each profile suits a different buyer, and the choice hinges mainly on the weight given to construction age versus plot size.
