This detached villa stands on a corner plot of approximately 539 m² close to the centre of Ciudad Quesada, in the province of Alicante on the southern Costa Blanca. Built in 1981 and completed ready for occupation, the property offers 232 m² of total built area, including a main house of around 200 m² with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. A fifth bedroom occupies a separate upper section with its own toilet and washbasin. Outside there is a private swimming pool, a built-in outdoor kitchen and BBQ area of roughly 32 m², and a small garage. The asking price is fixed at €430,000.
Within Ciudad Quesada itself, the new-build supply consists mainly of the Area Beach V Lo Marabú phases (from €364,000 and €373,000) and the Lo Marabú bungalows (from €322,000). Those developments offer modern finishes, contemporary layouts and community settings, but at those entry prices the built areas and plot sizes are considerably smaller than this villa's 232 m² on 539 m². This property therefore competes on volume of space rather than on novelty: a private pool, a 32 m² outdoor kitchen, five bedrooms and two-street corner access are features that new-build bungalows in the same price band typically do not match. The trade-off is the 1981 construction date and the associated updating work, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which a buyer should cost into any comparison. Regionally, the southern Costa Blanca around Rojales, Guardamar and Torrevieja offers more land per euro than the coastal strip itself, and Ciudad Quesada's year-round services, nine bus lines and proximity to Alicante airport at roughly 27 km straight-line give it a practical profile for permanent residence as well as holiday use. Compared with golf-side developments near La Finca, this location trades golf-course views for walkable access to the town centre. For buyers weighing character and space against turnkey convenience, the local market effectively splits between refurbished older villas such as this one and smaller new-build units, with the price gap narrowing once refurbishment budgets are included.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in Ciudad Quesada, an established residential area within Rojales municipality, roughly 8 km inland from the coast. The centre of the town, with its restaurants, shops and services, lies within walking distance. Larger cities such as Elche, Alicante and Murcia are all reachable by car, and Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 27 km away as the crow flies.
The layout serves households needing generous space: five bedrooms across the main house and a semi-independent upper section, two bathrooms plus additional toilets, and multiple outdoor areas around a private pool. Fitted wardrobes and air conditioning are present. The kitchen is functional but dated, giving scope for modernisation rather than move-in luxury throughout.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was completed in 1981 and is offered key-ready as an existing home. Construction is traditional for its period, with terracotta tiled roofs and stone detailing. The condition is recorded as good, although the source description notes that some interior areas would benefit from updating.
The property is sold unfurnished. There are only two full bathrooms despite five bedrooms. The garage is small and currently used as storage. The kitchen and parts of the interior require modernisation. No sea view, beachfront position or communal facilities such as a gym or landscaped communal gardens form part of the offer.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms and multiple living zones, with the upper section allowing teenagers or relatives a degree of independence, will find the layout practical. Buyers relocating permanently value the walkable access to supermarkets, pharmacies and banks, plus nine public transport lines with five stops in the area. Holiday-home purchasers who prioritise private outdoor space over sea views get a pool, BBQ area and mature garden without community rules. Those seeking a project with gradual modernisation can update the kitchen and bathrooms over time while living in the house. It fits less well for buyers wanting a contemporary turnkey interior, a sea view, or a gated resort setting with communal facilities. Investors should note the 1981 construction date and factor refurbishment costs into any rental-yield calculation, while recognising that larger plots close to town centres remain relatively scarce in this market.
The construction reflects Spanish building practice of the early 1980s: solid masonry walls, terracotta tiled roofs and stone detail accents, all visible in the facade and outdoor areas. The interior retains period features such as the ornate tiled staircase, a dining area with fireplace, and traditional tiling in the bathrooms, one of which includes a bathtub and vanity unit. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms. Climate control consists of air conditioning units rather than a full central system, and the property predates modern insulation standards, so heating costs in winter months deserve attention. The kitchen is described as functional with scope for updating; the images show dated cabinetry and appliances. Two full bathrooms serve the main house, supplemented by toilets on the upper level and near the living areas. Outside, the pool, tiled terraces and built-in BBQ kitchen are established rather than new, and mature planting indicates decades of growth. The small garage and under-house storage room add practical capacity. Overall, the finishing level is honest and liveable, with the value lying in the structure, plot and location rather than in recent renovation.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €430,000 as an existing, key-ready home. That figure covers 232 m² of total built area on a plot of approximately 539 m², with a private pool and five bedrooms. Compared with new-build developments in the same town, which start from roughly €322,000 for bungalows and €364,000 to €373,000 for villas in the Lo Marabú phases, this property sits above the entry price because of its larger plot and built area. Buyers should budget separately for the interior updates the kitchen and some rooms will require.
Daily life here revolves around the combination of a substantial plot and proximity to town. The villa's corner position, with access from two streets, gives the outdoor space an open character while mature trees and planting maintain privacy. Mornings can be spent on the patio under the shade sail, with the south orientation bringing sun to the pool area through the middle of the day. The built-in outdoor kitchen and BBQ area of about 32 m² functions as a second dining room for much of the year, supported by the regional climate of mild winters and warm summers. Inside, the living room connects through large windows to the terraces, and the ornate tiled staircase leads to the upper floor. The fifth bedroom upstairs, with its own toilet and washbasin, works as guest accommodation, a space for older children, or a home office. Shopping, pharmacies and banks in Ciudad Quesada are within a short walk, which reduces dependence on the car for errands, although a vehicle remains practical for beach trips and airport transfers. The area has an international resident mix, typical of this part of the southern Costa Blanca, and remains inhabited year-round rather than being purely seasonal.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained residential town with a commercial centre, and this villa sits close to it. Within 2 km there are approximately 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, which covers routine needs without driving. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away as the crow flies and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino 3.5 km. Golfers can reach Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km. The marina at Marina de les Dunes is 7.6 km away for boating and beachside dining. An EV charging point is available at the Iberdrola Oasis Center, 3.8 km away. Regional cities are within practical reach: Elche with around 235,000 inhabitants is 22 km away in a straight line, Murcia 37 km and Alicante 38 km. Public transport consists of nine lines serving five stops, workable for local trips but limited for commuting.
The map shows the villa's position within Ciudad Quesada, close to the town centre and its amenities. The coast at Guardamar lies west, golf courses to the north-east, and the AP-7 motorway connects the area to Alicante airport, about 27 km away as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Ciudad Quesada occupies a position in the southern Costa Blanca, inland of Guardamar del Segura and north of Torrevieja. It belongs administratively to Rojales and has developed into a year-round residential town with an international population. Within the wider region, it stands closer to Alicante and its airport (about 27 km straight-line) than most Costa del Sol locations, while Murcia and its services are roughly 37 km away. For property purposes, the area competes with nearby urbanisations such as Lo Marabú and the coastal strip of Guardamar, generally offering more plot for the price than beachfront zones.
A car remains the practical mode of transport for most journeys, although daily errands in the town centre are walkable. Alicante-Elche airport (ALC) lies roughly 27 km away in a straight line, translating to a drive of around half an hour on the AP-7 or N-332 corridor; Valencia airport is 159 km away and Málaga around 369 km, the latter clearly too far for routine use. The beach and marina at Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km as the crow flies, are a short drive. Golf at La Finca, under 7 km away, is similarly convenient. Road distances are longer than straight-line figures, so travel times should be verified in person. Parking is available on the plot and in the small garage. Public transport offers five stops on nine lines, sufficient for local movement but not a substitute for a vehicle for coastal or airport trips.

The location sits at approximately 69 m above sea level on gently rolling terrain, meaning the plot is largely level with no significant slope. The climate is typical of the southern Costa Blanca: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.8°C. This supports outdoor use of the pool and terraces for most of the year, although the swimming season, defined by sea water at 20°C or warmer, runs to about five months. Winters are mild enough for year-round residence without heavy heating, though the 1981 construction and air-conditioning-based climate control mean supplementary heating is worth planning. The surrounding landscape combines residential urbanisations, citrus groves and the salt lakes of Torrevieja and La Mata within short driving distance, offering walking and cycling routes nearby.

The beaches of Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja lie a short drive from Ciudad Quesada, with the Marina de les Dunes complex 7.6 km away as the crow flies providing beach access, water sports and waterfront restaurants. The southern Costa Blanca holds several Blue Flag beaches along this stretch of coastline, an established feature of the province. Golf is well served: Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km is one of the region's regarded courses, and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km adds a second option within twenty minutes' drive. Everyday recreation includes the paddle and racquet facilities at Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km), the municipal sports centre El Molino (3.5 km) and a taekwondo club at 5.0 km. The villa's own pool and 32 m² outdoor kitchen allow recreation at home as well.
