This detached villa stands in Ciudad Quesada, a residential area in the municipality of Rojales on the southern Costa Blanca. The property was completed in 2002 and offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 95 square metres of living space, sold with a fixed asking price of €249,000 and delivered key-ready. The home is fully furnished and fitted with air conditioning, a private terrace, a solarium and fibre-optic internet. Two communal swimming pools and a private pool area are part of the setting. The region is known for its salt lakes, golf courses and more than 300 days of sunshine per year, with Alicante airport roughly 27 kilometres away as the crow flies.
At €249,000 as a fixed asking price, this villa sits noticeably below the new-build alternatives in its immediate market. Within Ciudad Quesada itself, the Lo Marabú Bungalows Phase 2 project starts from €322,000, roughly 30% more, for new construction with modern specifications. In nearby Daya Nueva, the Nueva Daya Villa project lists from €380,000, and in Rojales the Oceanic Apartments start from €475,000. The price gap reflects three factors: age, specification and floor area. This villa dates from 2002 and offers 95 square metres of living space, whereas new-build villas in the region typically deliver larger footprints, contemporary insulation standards and developer warranties. Against that, the resale property is available immediately, comes fully furnished, includes both a private pool and access to communal pools, and holds a tourist licence, a document that new-build buyers often have to obtain separately and which can be restricted in some municipalities. Location-wise, all four properties sit within the same southern Costa Blanca belt: Ciudad Quesada, Rojales and Daya Nueva are all inland urbanisations within fifteen minutes' drive of the beaches between Guardamar and Orihuela Costa. The choice between them is therefore less about geography and more about the trade-off between price and new-build condition. For buyers prioritising budget and immediate rental capability, the resale villa's positioning is competitive; for those wanting contemporary energy performance and no maintenance history, the new-build alternatives carry a premium of €130,000 or more. Median household income in the province, around €15,750 per year, underlines how the international buyer market operates at a different price level from the local one, which is visible in the concentration of foreign-owned resale stock across the Vega Baja.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada lies inland from the coastal towns of Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura, at about 69 metres above sea level. Daily amenities cluster within roughly two kilometres, including around 25 restaurants, two pharmacies and three banks. Golf courses at La Finca and Villamartín are 6.9 and 14.9 kilometres away respectively, measured in a straight line.
The villa is laid out for permanent or seasonal living: four bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate a family or visiting guests, while the private terrace, solarium and barbecue area support outdoor use through most of the year. Air conditioning and fitted wardrobes are present, and the property is sold fully furnished, including the fitted kitchen, allowing immediate occupation after purchase.
This is not a new-build project. The villa dates from 2002, is described as being in good condition and is available immediately as a key-ready resale property. The stated completion date is indicative and based on seller information. Buyers should budget for an independent technical survey to assess the building's current condition, as is standard for properties of this age.
The living area of 95 square metres is compact relative to the four bedrooms, which affects room sizes. The plot size recorded for this listing is minimal, indicating a low-maintenance setting rather than a large private garden. The property is an inland location; the beach is not within walking distance and a car is required for most daily trips beyond the immediate neighbourhood amenities.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a furnished, move-in-ready base on the Costa Blanca without new-build waiting times or construction risk will find the key-ready status and complete inventory relevant. Families needing four bedrooms on a limited budget are another clear case: the €249,000 price point is well below the regional new-build average for this accommodation count, with the trade-off of a smaller 95 square metre floor area and a property built in 2002. Buyers combining personal use with rental income form a third group. The tourist licence permits legal short-term letting, and the furnished condition means the home can be marketed to holiday tenants with little additional investment. The private pool and proximity to communal pools support this use. Seasonal residents and retirees form a fourth category. The flat terrain, the concentration of amenities within two kilometres, and a mild climate with an annual average temperature of 18.8 degrees suit outdoor-oriented living for much of the year. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a large private garden or a beachfront location; the recorded plot is minimal and the sea is a drive away. It also requires a car for most trips beyond the neighbourhood. Buyers prioritising modern energy performance should note the 2002 construction date and arrange a technical inspection before committing.
The property was built in 2002 and is listed in good condition. The interior specification includes a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and complete furniture, meaning the sale transfers a ready-to-use home rather than a shell requiring works. Both bathrooms are equipped with shower units, sinks and bidets, consistent with Spanish building practice of that period. Climate control consists of air conditioning, an important feature in a region where July and August temperatures regularly exceed 30 degrees. A solarium adds an additional outdoor level, typically finished with waterproof membrane and tiling, suited to sunbathing and evening use. Connectivity is covered by fibre-optic internet and WiFi, which supports remote work and streaming. The bar and barbecue facilities are permanent installations in the outdoor area. As with any property of this age, the actual state of the roof, waterproofing, plumbing and electrical installation can only be verified through inspection. Spanish construction from 2002 generally meets the building standards of that era, but it predates the current, stricter energy-efficiency requirements, so insulation and glazing performance may differ from new-build levels. Buyers intending renovations should confirm with the Rojales municipality which works require permits. The overall picture is a functionally finished home with practical features, whose condition should be confirmed by a surveyor rather than assumed from the listing.
The asking price is fixed at €249,000 for the complete property, including furniture and fittings. This is an existing home, not a price-list development, so there is no range of unit types or prices; the listed villa is the property on offer. Compared with new-build alternatives nearby, which start from roughly €322,000 for bungalows in Ciudad Quesada and €380,000 for villas in Daya Nueva, this property sits at the lower end of the local market. The 'bargain' and 'resale' classifications in the listing data reflect this positioning. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's acceptance of an offer and the standard Spanish purchase process.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained residential town on the southern Costa Blanca, built around a network of low-rise housing, small commercial centres and sports facilities. Daily life here is car-assisted but locally compact: supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and a large choice of restaurants sit within roughly two kilometres of the villa, so most errands are short trips rather than expeditions. The villa itself is oriented towards outdoor living. With a south to south-east orientation, the private terrace and solarium receive morning and midday sun, which in this climate means usable outdoor space for a large part of the year. The barbecue and bar area extend this use into the evenings, and the private pool allows swimming without leaving the plot. Two communal pools lie a short walk away and provide a more social alternative. The salt lakes of Torrevieja and La Mata sit in the wider surroundings; the description mentions panoramic views over the pink lakes from the property. These natural lagoons shape the light and the skyline of the area and are popular for walking and cycling. Out of season, Ciudad Quesada quietens considerably. A significant share of the housing stock serves holiday and second-home use, so winter months feel noticeably calmer than August, although a permanent resident community keeps core amenities open year-round. The tourist licence held by the property indicates it can also be let legally to short-stay visitors, which some owners use to offset running costs. For a resident, the rhythm of the day is straightforward: mornings on the terrace, errands within a few minutes' drive, golf or the beach within fifteen to twenty minutes, and evenings around the barbecue or in one of the local restaurants. The altitude of 69 metres means the area is essentially flat, which makes walking and cycling practical for most people.
Ciudad Quesada sits within the municipality of Rojales, inland from the coast at a low elevation of 69 metres. The immediate surroundings are residential and quiet, particularly outside the summer months, with amenities concentrated within two kilometres: approximately 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist cover most daily needs without leaving the area. For sports, the Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 kilometres away and the Polideportivo municipal El Molino 3.5 kilometres, both straight-line distances. Golf is a defining feature of the wider area: Club de Golf La Finca is 6.9 kilometres away and Club de Golf Villamartín 14.9 kilometres, both reachable within a short drive. The nearest marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, sits 7.6 kilometres away and provides mooring, dining and water sports access. Public transport exists in the form of nine lines with five stops in the area, useful for local connections, though a car remains the practical choice for commuting and coastal trips. An electric-vehicle charging point is available at the Iberdrola Oasis Center, 3.8 kilometres away. The larger regional cities frame the location: Elche with around 234,765 inhabitants is 22 kilometres away, Alicante 38 kilometres and Murcia 37 kilometres, giving access to full urban services, hospitals and cultural amenities within a 30 to 40-minute drive.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a position between the coastal strip and the agricultural plain of the Vega Baja, within the municipality of Rojales in Alicante province. It lies 22 kilometres from Elche, 37 from Murcia and 38 from Alicante city, placing it closer to the Murcian border than to the provincial capital's northern suburbs. Within the Costa Blanca context, it forms part of the dense residential belt south of Torrevieja that includes Guardamar, Rojales, San Fulgencio and Orihuela Costa. This positioning gives it inland tranquillity with coastal access by car, a combination typical of the southern Costa Blanca's value-oriented market compared with the higher-priced Marbella coastline further west.
The villa's inland position means the beach is reached by car rather than on foot; the coastal towns of Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja lie a short drive west and south respectively. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 27 kilometres away in a straight line, which typically translates to a drive of around half an hour, making short flights and weekend visits practical. Valencia Airport (159 kilometres straight-line) and Málaga Airport (369 kilometres) serve as alternatives for long-haul routes. Golfers have two courses within 15 kilometres, with La Finca the closest at 6.9 kilometres. Local public transport comprises nine lines serving five stops, sufficient for trips within the urbanisation and towards nearby towns. For everything else, road access follows the regional network connecting Ciudad Quesada to the AP-7 corridor and the N-332 coastal road. A car is effectively necessary for daily life here; this is standard for residential areas of this type on the southern Costa Blanca.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.8 degrees, with monthly averages ranging from 12 degrees in winter to 26 degrees in summer. This places the area firmly in the Mediterranean zone: mild winters with little frost risk and warm, dry summers. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea and pool water holds at 20 degrees or above, roughly May through September. Rainfall is low and concentrated in autumn, and the area records abundant sunshine hours typical of the Alicante coastline. The elevation of 69 metres means the terrain is essentially flat, with no significant slopes between the villa and local amenities, an advantage for walking, cycling and older residents. The most distinctive natural feature is the pair of salt lakes, Torrevieja and La Mata, located to the south-east. These lagoons are protected natural parks, home to flamingo colonies and other birdlife, and their shallow pink water colours the horizon at sunset. Walking and cycling routes run around parts of the lakes, and the microclimate they create is credited locally with dry, healthy air.

The beaches of the southern Costa Blanca, stretching from Guardamar del Segura through Torrevieja to Orihuela Costa, are a short drive from the villa and include several Blue Flag awarded stretches with lifeguard services and accessible facilities. The nearest marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 7.6 kilometres, offers berths, water sports and waterfront dining. Golf forms the second recreation pillar: Club de Golf La Finca (6.9 kilometres) is an 18-hole championship course set in the Segura river valley, while Club de Golf Villamartín (14.9 kilometres) is one of the Costa Blanca's established courses, having hosted the Spanish Open. For everyday sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino (3.5 km) provide courts and fitness facilities, and a taekwondo club operates at 5 kilometres. Within the urbanisation itself, the two communal pools near the property offer swimming without travelling, complementing the private pool on the plot. The salt-lagoons natural park adds walking, cycling and birdwatching to the recreation mix, all reachable within a short drive.
