A key-ready semi-detached house in the La Marquesa Golf residential area of Ciudad Quesada, Alicante, offered at a fixed asking price of €260,000. The property provides three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 100 m² of built space, including a self-contained under-build apartment with its own kitchen, lounge and bathroom. A large solarium, an inner courtyard with awning, off-road parking and use of a communal pool two minutes' walk away complete the layout. Built in 1970 and finished to a good standard, the home has air conditioning, a wood burner and a fully fitted family kitchen.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in the La Marquesa Golf urbanisation within Ciudad Quesada, an inland residential town on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly 27 km by straight line from Alicante-Elche airport. The setting is described as close to golf, shops, town, schools and forest, with views across the development toward the park and mountains. Guardamar's beaches are reachable within fifteen minutes by car.
The layout suits households needing flexible accommodation: a main home with lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, plus a separate under-build apartment with kitchen-diner, open-plan bedroom and lounge, and a bathroom with walk-in shower. A large solarium, a shaded courtyard for outdoor dining, off-road parking for one vehicle, a storage turret and a tool room cover the practical daily needs of a resident household.
This is not a new-build project. The house dates from 1970 and is available key-ready, which means it can be occupied directly after purchase. Its condition is recorded as good to excellent, with recent additions noted such as a new full-sided awning on the solarium and air conditioning. Any completion or handover date is effectively immediate, subject to the standard purchase process.
The property does not include a private swimming pool; pool access is communal, a two-minute walk from the house. There is off-road parking for one vehicle only, with no garage mentioned. The plot and garden space is limited to terraces, a small outside area with a fruit tree and the solarium. As a 1970 build, the construction predates current new-build standards, and no plot size, energy performance data or lift is recorded.
This house fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a permanent residence in a quiet, established urbanisation with everyday amenities a short drive away would find the main home sufficient on its own. Households with regular visiting family or adult children may value the self-contained under-build, which can serve as guest accommodation or an independent living space without altering the main house. It also suits buyers who work from home and want a clearly separated office zone with its own entrance route through the under-build. Those considering rental use should note that the two-part structure could let one part be occupied while the other is let, subject to local licensing rules. The profile is less obvious for buyers who want a private pool, a large garden or contemporary new-build construction, those requirements are not met here. A car is realistically necessary: the beach is fifteen minutes away by car, and although Quesada high street is a short drive, daily errands are simplest with own transport. Buyers prioritising year-round outdoor living may find the solarium and shaded courtyard relevant, since the listing describes all-year-round sun exposure with retractable shade. Finally, the fixed price and key-ready status mean the property suits purchasers who want certainty on both cost and timing, without the waiting period attached to off-plan developments in the same region.
The listing records the condition as good to excellent, which is consistent with the described interior features. The lounge includes a wood burner and patio doors; the kitchen is fully fitted with cupboard and worktop space; both main bedrooms have fitted wardrobes; and the bathroom upstairs has a large walk-in shower. The under-build bathroom also has a walk-in shower plus a storage cupboard. Solid stairs connect the courtyard to the solarium, and the roof terrace carries a new full-sided awning, indicating recent investment in the outdoor areas. Climate control combines a wood burner for heating with air conditioning, giving two independent systems for winter and summer. Windows in the under-build provide natural light, which is not always the case in this type of space and affects its usability as a genuine living area rather than a cellar. As a 1970 construction, the building predates current Spanish technical building code standards for insulation, glazing and energy performance; no energy performance figure is recorded in the available data. Buyers assessing long-term running costs should weigh this alongside the two climate systems. The under-build is a functional asset, with a workshop and DIY room and a small turret storage room upstairs from the courtyard level, but its original build purpose and any conversions are worth verifying during a technical survey. Overall, the finishing level described is that of a maintained resale home with selective upgrades, awning, air conditioning, walk-in showers, rather than a full renovation.
The property is an existing home with a fixed asking price of €260,000, not a starting price from which other units vary. For context, new-build comparables in the wider area are positioned higher: bungalows in Ciudad Quesada from €322,000, apartments in Rojales from €475,000 and a villa in Daya Nueva from €380,000. This places the asking price below the entry point of comparable new construction in the region, which reflects the 1970 construction date and the semi-detached format rather than a defect in the location. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status; the purchase follows the standard Spanish resale process rather than an off-plan payment schedule.
Daily life here centres on the dual structure of the house. The main residence handles everyday living: a lounge larger than typical for the type, with a wood burner for the cooler months and patio doors onto an inner courtyard fitted with a large awning, giving a shaded spot for meals outdoors through much of the year. The separate family kitchen offers worktop and cupboard space for regular cooking. Upstairs, the master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and the second bedroom also accommodates fitted storage and a smaller double bed. The under-build functions as an independent unit, useful for extended family, visiting guests or a work-from-home arrangement, with its own kitchen and dining area, an open-plan bedroom and lounge with natural light, and a bathroom with walk-in shower. A separate room in the under-build serves as a tool and DIY space, which residents may also use as general storage. Outside, the solarium receives sun year-round according to the listing, with a new awning for shade, and a small turret room provides additional storage. Parking for one vehicle is on the plot. The communal pool with sun loungers is a two-minute walk away, making it a realistic option for a daily swim during the warm months. The immediate neighbourhood is an established urbanisation with a golf setting; restaurants, bars and a supermarket at La Marquesa are a short drive away, as is Rojales village with river walks and its annual fiestas.
Ciudad Quesada is an established inland residential town on the southern Costa Blanca, and the house sits within the La Marquesa Golf urbanisation. The recorded amenities within two kilometres include 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a cafe and a dentist, a practical base for daily needs without leaving the immediate area. Quesada high street is a short drive away and covers wider shopping. The surrounding recreation offer is varied. Club de Golf La Finca lies 6.9 km away by straight line and Club de Golf Villamartín 14.9 km; the La Marquesa golf setting itself is adjacent to the urbanisation. For other sports, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta is 3.4 km away and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino 3.5 km. The nearest marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, is 7.6 km by straight line. An EV charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center is 3.8 km away. Larger regional centres frame the location: Elche with roughly 234,765 inhabitants is 22 km away by straight line, Alicante with about 339,322 inhabitants is 38 km, and Murcia with approximately 462,979 inhabitants is 37 km. Public transport consists of 9 lines with 5 stops, usable for regional connections, though the residential character of the urbanisation means most residents rely on a car. The beaches of Guardamar are fifteen minutes away by car.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a practical mid-coast position on the southern Costa Blanca, between the coastal strip of Guardamar and Torrevieja and the inland agricultural towns of the Vega Baja. Elche, 22 km away by straight line, provides urban-scale services and the airport; Alicante at 38 km and Murcia at 37 km place the town within reach of two provincial capitals in opposite directions. This in-between position, inland enough for quiet residential streets, coastal enough for a fifteen-minute beach drive, defines the town's role in the region compared with the denser beachfront zones nearby.
The nearest airport is Alicante-Elche (ALC), roughly 27 km away by straight line, one of the shorter airport distances on the southern Costa Blanca, making arrival and departure straightforward for international owners. Valencia airport is approximately 159 km by straight line and Málaga-Costa del Sol around 369 km, both realistic only as secondary options. All distances are straight-line figures; actual road distances are longer. Beaches at Guardamar are fifteen minutes away by car. Golf is the closest recreation category: La Marquesa golf is adjacent, with La Finca at 6.9 km and Villamartín at 14.9 km straight-line distance. Everyday shopping is covered by the supermarket at La Marquesa a short drive away plus the amenities within two kilometres of the house. Public transport exists, 9 lines and 5 stops, but frequency and coverage are limited in residential urbanisations, so a car should be considered the default mode. Off-road parking for one vehicle on the plot covers that need directly.

The location sits at 69 metres above sea level, which means the terrain around the house is essentially flat, relevant for walking and cycling compared with hillside towns along this coast. The average annual temperature is 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer: a typical southern Costa Blanca profile with mild winters and warm but not extreme summers, the sea moderating temperatures. The swimming season runs to five months with sea water at or above 20°C, roughly May or June through September or October. The communal pool two minutes from the house effectively extends that season, since it can be used outside the beach season on warm days. Rainfall data is not recorded for this specific location, but the regional pattern is concentrated in autumn and early spring, with long dry stretches in between, consistent with the listing's claim of all-year-round sun on the solarium. The micro-mountain views from the property reflect the transition between the coastal plain and the inland sierras behind Rojales.

The coastal option nearest to the house is Guardamar del Segura, fifteen minutes away by car, a town known for wide sandy beaches backed by a large pine and dune park at the mouth of the Segura river. Specific Blue Flag status for individual beaches is not recorded in the available data, so this should be verified separately. Golf is the strongest recreation category here: the urbanisation itself is a golf setting, Club de Golf La Finca is 6.9 km away by straight line, one of the well-regarded courses inland from Torrevieja, and Club de Golf Villamartín lies 14.9 km away. For racket and team sports, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and Polideportivo municipal El Molino (3.5 km) are both close, and a taekwondo club sits 5.0 km away. Water-based recreation beyond the beach includes the Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km by straight line. Inland, Rojales village offers river walks along the Segura and hosts local fiestas, giving the cultural complement to the sports facilities. With 25 restaurants within two kilometres, evening recreation rarely requires a long drive.

Within its immediate market, this house occupies a distinct position. The closest recorded comparables are new-build: LO MARABU BUNGALOWS - FASE 2 in Ciudad Quesada itself starts at €322,000, OCEANIC APARTMENTS in nearby Rojales at €475,000, and NUEVA DAYA VILLA in Daya Nueva at €380,000. Against these, the fixed €260,000 asking price is the lowest in the set, a gap of at least €60,000 to the nearest new-build, and the difference is explained largely by the 1970 construction date, the semi-detached format and the absence of a private pool, rather than by location, since the La Marquesa urbanisation sits in the same town as the most affordable comparable. That price gap frames the buyer's trade-off in this part of the Costa Blanca. New-build buyers pay for current building-code standards, developer warranties and communal facilities designed from scratch. Resale buyers here pay less and gain something new-build rarely offers at any price in this segment: a self-contained second dwelling within the property, giving flexibility for family use, guest stays, a home office or potential rental separation subject to licensing. Geographically, Ciudad Quesada competes with Rojales, Daya Nueva, Guardamar and Torrevieja. Rojales and Daya Nueva are quieter, more inland agricultural towns; Guardamar offers beachfront living at higher coastal prices; Torrevieja is denser and more tourist-oriented. Quesada sits between these profiles, an established, largely international residential town with golf at its centre, flat terrain, everyday amenities within two kilometres, and a fifteen-minute drive to the beach. For buyers weighing cost against construction age, this property represents the value end of that spectrum, while new-build options in the same town and adjacent municipalities define the upper end.
