This key-ready semi-detached villa is situated in Ciudad Quesada, an established residential area within the municipality of Rojales on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers 156 m² of living space across two floors on a private 200 m² plot, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Outdoor features include a private 6 x 3.5 metre swimming pool, a garden, terrace, barbecue area, electric pergola and a solarium. The asking price is fixed at €454,500, excluding a furniture package available separately. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 27 km away as the crow flies, with a drive time of around 40 minutes.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada is a residential district of Rojales, inland from the southern Costa Blanca coastline. The nearest beaches of the Mediterranean are a short drive away, while golf courses such as Club de Golf La Finca (6.9 km as the crow flies) and Club de Golf Villamartín (14.9 km) surround the area. Within 2 km there are roughly 25 restaurants, two pharmacies and three banks, covering daily needs on foot or by short drive.
The villa is arranged for permanent or seasonal occupation: three bedrooms and three bathrooms, ducted air conditioning, underfloor heating in selected areas, electric shutters and mosquito screens throughout. Outdoor living is central to the layout, with a private pool, solarium, barbecue area and a covered terrace. A utility room in the garden and a storage room in the solarium add practical space.
This is not a new-build project but an existing, key-ready home originally completed in 1970 and substantially rebuilt, with the current construction dating from 2018. No waiting period applies; the property can be occupied immediately after purchase. Delivery dates and completion details are indicative and should be confirmed with the seller during the purchase process.
The property does not include furniture; a furniture package is available separately for €13,500. The plot is 200 m², which limits garden size relative to detached villas on larger plots. A jacuzzi is possible but not installed. Underfloor heating covers only selected areas, and parking is a private space rather than an enclosed garage. No cadastral or energy details are stated here.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A retired couple seeking a permanent residence in a quiet, established area with low running costs would find the compact 156 m² layout manageable, while the three bathrooms allow for guests or live-in family. Families with children or grandchildren visiting for holidays benefit from the three bedrooms and the private pool, which avoids dependence on shared community facilities. Buyers looking for a holiday home with rental potential will note that Ciudad Quesada's international character and proximity to beaches and golf courses support seasonal letting, though rental income should be assessed independently. The property also fits buyers who want to avoid the risks and waiting times of off-plan purchase: construction dates from 2018, the home is key-ready, and what is seen during a viewing is what is bought. It is less suitable for buyers requiring a large garden, since the 200 m² plot is modest, or those who want to walk to the beach, as the coast is a drive rather than a stroll away. Buyers who need enclosed garage parking should also note that the property offers a private parking space rather than a garage. Finally, those seeking furniture included in the price should factor in the additional €13,500 for the furniture package when comparing against other listings.
The current construction dates from 2018, and the interior reflects that period of building: an open-plan living and dining area, a modern kitchen with an island and stainless-steel extraction hood, and large windows in the bedrooms. The technical specification is above the baseline for the segment. Ducted air conditioning conditions the whole house, while underfloor heating is installed in selected areas, typically bathrooms and living zones, which provides comfortable winter use without radiators throughout. Electric shutters on the windows allow quick shading and add a degree of security when the home is unoccupied, and mosquito screens are fitted throughout, a practical feature given the summer months outdoors. The outdoor construction is equally considered: a 6 x 3.5 metre private pool with a fountain feature, an electric pergola that can be extended over the terrace, a built-in barbecue area, and a solarium on the roof level with its own storage room that could be converted into a kitchen. A utility room in the garden keeps laundry equipment out of the main house. Water filtration is installed at property level, which reduces limescale, relevant given the hard water common on the southern Costa Blanca. The appliances are included. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a 2018 build aimed at the international market, with the electric pergola and ducted systems being the more distinctive items. Buyers should verify the condition and servicing history of the pool installation and air conditioning system during the technical inspection.
The asking price is fixed at €454,500 for this existing, key-ready villa. This figure does not include furniture; the seller offers a furniture package separately at €13,500, which would bring the total outlay to €468,000 if purchased. Recurring costs are comparatively low: annual IBI (property tax) is stated at €325, and community fees are €21 per month. The property is available for immediate transfer, as construction was completed in 2018 and no building phase remains. Buyers should budget separately for notary, land registry and legal fees customary in Spanish property purchases, typically a low single-digit percentage of the purchase price.
Daily life in this villa centres on a compact, self-contained layout spread over two floors. The ground floor combines an open living and dining area with a modern kitchen including an island and integrated appliances, with direct access to the covered terrace and pool area. Mornings can begin outside under the electric pergola, with the pool a few steps from the kitchen, and the barbecue area supports outdoor eating through the warmer months, which in this region extend across a five-month swimming season with sea water at or above 20°C. The solarium adds a second outdoor level, usable for sunbathing or as a quiet reading spot, and its storage room could be converted into a small kitchen, which would reduce the need to move between floors during a full day outside. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms mean the home accommodates a family or visiting guests without sharing facilities, and the underfloor heating in selected areas makes winter stays comfortable, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer. Ciudad Quesada itself is an established, international residential area: shops, supermarkets and medical services are within easy reach, and the nearest towns of Rojales, Benijófar and Formentera del Segura are close by. The atmosphere is quiet outside the holiday season, with the rhythm of a residential community rather than a tourist resort. A car is the practical mode of transport here, as is common along this stretch of coast; public transport exists in the form of several bus lines, but most residents rely on private vehicles for shopping, beaches and the airport.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained residential node within Rojales. The immediate amenity base is substantial for a settlement of its size: within 2 km there are approximately 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, which covers most daily errands without leaving the area. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away as the crow flies and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino 3.5 km, covering racket sports and general athletics. Golfers can reach Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km, both straight-line distances, with actual road distances somewhat longer. The nearest marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, is 7.6 km away, combining mooring with dining and shopping. Electric-vehicle owners can charge at the Iberdrola Oasis Center, 3.8 km from the property. Public transport exists with 9 lines and 5 stops in the area, sufficient for occasional trips, though the spatial layout of the region makes a car the default for most residents. The AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road connect the area to the wider region; the drive to Alicante-Elche Airport takes roughly 40 minutes by car.
The map shows Ciudad Quesada's position inland from the southern Costa Blanca coast, west of Torrevieja and north of the Orihuela Costa golf belt. Elche, Murcia and Alicante form a triangle of larger cities within 22 to 38 km as the crow flies. Markers indicate the nearby golf courses, sports centres, marina and the airport connection.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a mid-coast position on the southern Costa Blanca, in the municipality of Rojales, roughly equidistant from Alicante (38 km) and Murcia (37 km), both straight-line. This places it between two provincial capitals and two airports effectively served by Alicante. Within the local hierarchy it sits alongside residential neighbours Benijófar and Formentera del Segura, with Torrevieja as the nearest large coastal town. Compared with the Costa del Sol further west, the area offers lower price points and a flatter terrain, at the cost of a longer transfer from Málaga (369 km).
Distances below are straight-line unless stated otherwise; road distances are generally longer. The Mediterranean beaches of Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja are within a short drive, with the coast broadly 6-8 km away. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies 27 km as the crow flies, approximately 40 minutes by car, the most practical gateway for international arrivals. Valencia Airport is 159 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol 369 km, making Alicante the clear first choice. Regional cities frame the location: Elche (population 234,765) is 22 km away, Murcia (462,979) 37 km, and Alicante city (339,322) 38 km, giving access to full urban services, hospitals and cultural amenities within an hour's drive. Locally, five public transport stops across nine bus lines serve the area, though frequencies are modest and most journeys are made by car. A private parking space on the plot comes with the property.

The climate data points to a typical semi-arid southern Costa Blanca regime: an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, meaning heating needs are limited and air conditioning is the more heavily used system. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea water holds at 20°C or above, roughly May through September. Ciudad Quesada sits at 69 metres above sea level on largely flat terrain, so walking and cycling around the residential area involve no significant slopes, a contrast with the hillside urbanisations further north along the coast. The immediate landscape is a mix of residential development, former salt flats and agricultural land, with the natural parks of the Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja and the Segura river valley within short driving distance for walking and birdwatching. Rainfall is low and concentrated in a few autumn and spring months, so outdoor use of the pool, pergola and solarium is realistic for most of the year.

Beach access is a drive rather than a walk: the wide sandy beaches of Guardamar del Segura and the coves towards Torrevieja lie roughly 6-8 km away by road. The marina at Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km straight-line, adds waterfront dining and water sports to the options. Golf is the strongest recreational asset in the immediate region, Club de Golf La Finca (6.9 km) is one of the best-regarded courses in the province, and Club de Golf Villamartín (14.9 km) hosted the Spanish Open; further courses along the Orihuela Costa are within a 20-minute drive. For everyday sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino (3.5 km) cover tennis, paddle and fitness. The villa itself carries much of the recreation on site: the private 6 x 3.5 m pool, barbecue area, pergola-covered terrace and solarium support outdoor living without leaving the plot, and a jacuzzi can be added. The local calendar includes 32 public holidays per year at municipal and regional level, many tied to fiestas in Rojales and neighbouring towns.

Within Ciudad Quesada itself, the new-build alternatives give useful context. Area Beach V Lo Marabú phases 1 and 2 start from €364,000, phase 3 and 4 from €373,000, and the Lo Marabú bungalows phase 2 from €322,000. At a fixed €454,500, this villa sits noticeably above those entry prices, and the difference needs justification. Part of it is explained by what the asking price buys outright: a completed 2018 build with 156 m² of living space across two floors, a private pool, solarium and finished garden, and no dependency on a developer's construction schedule or phase delivery. Buyers comparing against the new-build phases should also weigh what those projects include and exclude, plot sizes, pool arrangements and specification levels vary, and a like-for-like comparison requires reading the individual price lists. On the wider regional market, €454,500 for a three-bedroom, three-bathroom semi-detached house with a private pool is positioned in the middle band for the southern Costa Blanca: above the bungalow and apartment segment common in Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa, but well below detached villa pricing in established urbanisations such as Ciudad Quesada's own hillside areas or La Finca golf resort, where plots and build sizes are considerably larger. The property's running costs are low for the region, €21 per month in community fees and €325 annual IBI, reflecting a small semi-detached plot rather than a large private estate. Its condition as a 2018 build with ducted air conditioning and underfloor heating partially offsets the age discount that older stock in the area carries. For buyers prioritising private outdoor space and immediate availability over minimum price, the premium over the new-build from-prices is the cost of certainty; for buyers maximising square metres per euro, the newer phases at lower entry points will remain the reference point.
