This detached villa stands in Ciudad Quesada, in the province of Alicante on the southern Costa Blanca. Built in 1970 and offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €499,950, the property provides 150 m² of living space across two floors, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 500 m² plot includes a private swimming pool, terraces, off-road parking and an outdoor dining area. The centre of Ciudad Quesada, with its shops and restaurants, is within walking distance, while the beaches of the Orihuela Costa lie a short drive away.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in the heart of Ciudad Quesada, within walking distance of the high street with its supermarkets, bars and commercial centres. The town lies inland of the Orihuela Costa, roughly 7.6 km as the crow flies from the marina at Marina de les Dunes. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 27 km away in a straight line.
The property offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a guest toilet spread over two floors, with a lounge-diner with fireplace, a fitted kitchen, air conditioning and multiple sun terraces. Outside there is a private pool, BBQ area and off-road parking. The property is sold partly furnished, subject to offer.
This is not a new-build project. The villa dates from 1970 and is available immediately in key-ready condition. The construction year means that insulation standards, glazing and installations correspond to the period of construction and any modernisation history would need to be verified during a viewing.
The property has two bathrooms for five bedrooms. There is no mention of central heating, underfloor heating, a garage or sea views in the available data. The garden is described as easy to maintain rather than expansive. Furniture is only partly included and subject to negotiation.
This property fits a number of recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms within a walkable town will find the layout practical: the master suite with en-suite and terrace access is separated from the guest rooms, and the ground-floor bedroom currently used as a second lounge shows the floor plan can absorb a home office or television room. Buyers relocating permanently benefit from the immediate availability and from having shops, pharmacies and banks on foot, which simplifies the first months of residence. Holiday-home buyers get a pool, BBQ area and terraces that work for extended family stays, while the two-bathroom arrangement should be weighed against the number of bedrooms when the house is at full occupancy. Buyers comparing new build against existing stock should note the 1970 construction year: the price positions below key-ready new villas in the same town, but technical installations, insulation and window quality should be assessed on viewing. Investors considering rental use will note the central location and pool as demand factors, balanced against the age of the building and the maintenance that entails. Households that want sea views, a garage or contemporary energy performance as standard will need to look elsewhere or budget for renovation.
The available description speaks of quality fixtures and fittings, air conditioning and a fully fitted kitchen with above-average storage and workspace. The bathrooms shown in the imagery are modern in appearance, with walk-in showers and contemporary sanitary ware. The interior layout suggests later modernisation of at least the wet rooms, with an iron bedstead and air-conditioning unit visible in one bedroom photograph. The structural and technical picture must be read against the 1970 construction year. Properties of this period in the Alicante region were typically built with hollow-brick or block construction and plastered facades; original glazing would have been single, and thermal insulation standards were lower than current regulations. Whether the villa has been re-glazed, re-wired or had its insulation upgraded is not stated in the data and should be established during a technical survey. The two floors, raised terraces and staircase indicate a solid traditional build form rather than an open-plan contemporary one. The fireplace in the lounge provides supplementary heating, with air conditioning covering cooling and, where the units are heat-pump based, heating as well. Outside, the pool, terraces and BBQ area appear in use in the photographs, with sun loungers and potted plants indicating an established, maintained garden. A storage and utility room is a practical addition for pool equipment and garden tools.
The villa is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €499,950. This is not a price-list property, so there is a single asking figure rather than a range of unit prices. For context within Ciudad Quesada itself, new-build projects in the area currently advertise from around €364,000 to €373,000 for phased developments, while key-ready new villas start from approximately €649,000. This villa sits between those benchmarks, with the distinguishing factors being the plot, the five-bedroom layout and the central town location. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready. The part-furnished arrangement is subject to offer.
Daily life in this villa revolves around two rhythms: the house itself and the town on the doorstep. The ground floor holds the entrance hall, the lounge-diner with its fireplace, the fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, one currently used as a second lounge, and a guest toilet. A raised decking area off one of these rooms serves as a morning or evening spot. Upstairs, a staircase leads to two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and direct access to a generous sun terrace. The front of the house has a raised, covered terrace overlooking the pool and garden. Outside, the 500 m² plot is arranged around the private pool, a BBQ and outdoor dining area, sunbathing terraces and several seating spots in both sun and shade. A storage and utility room plus off-road parking complete the outdoor arrangement. The location within Ciudad Quesada means that groceries, pharmacies, banks and restaurants are reached on foot; the data lists 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks and a café within two kilometres. For buyers considering permanent residence, this walkability matters in winter as much as in summer. For holiday use, the setup allows the house to function without dependence on a car for day-to-day needs, while the beaches and golf courses of the surrounding area remain a short drive away.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained residential town on the southern Costa Blanca, developed from the 1970s onward into a community with a full high street. Within two kilometres of the villa, the data records 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, a density that supports year-round living rather than a purely seasonal resort rhythm. The town sits at 69 metres above sea level on gently rolling terrain inland of the salt lakes, so cycling and walking routes are accessible without serious climbs. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away as the crow flies and the municipal sports centre El Molino at 3.5 km. Public transport consists of nine lines with five stops in the area, which covers local movement, though most residents use a car for coastal trips. The larger regional cities frame the location: Elche with around 235,000 inhabitants is 22 km away in a straight line, Alicante approximately 38 km, and Murcia roughly 37 km. This means hospital services, shopping centres and cultural amenities of three substantial cities are all reachable within about half an hour to forty minutes by car. The immediate surroundings combine residential streets with the commercial heart of the town; the villa's position near the high street favours convenience over seclusion, and traffic and noise levels in the centre will be higher than in outlying urbanisations.
The map shows the villa's position in central Ciudad Quesada, with the high street and its amenities within walking distance. Also marked are the region's reference points: the Marina de les Dunes coast, the golf courses of La Finca and Villamartín, and the motorway connections towards Alicante and Murcia. Straight-line distances are shown; road distances are longer.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a middle position on the southern Costa Blanca: inland of Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa beaches, and north of the Mar Menor and Cartagena area. Alicante city and its airport lie to the north-east at roughly 38 km and 27 km straight-line respectively, while Murcia is about 37 km to the south-west. This gives the town access to two provincial capitals and their services, which is reflected in the property market: prices sit below prime beachfront zones while remaining competitive with inland urbanisations. Within the wider Costa Blanca, the town is known as a year-round international residential community rather than a seasonal resort, which shapes both its amenities and its winter population.
The nearest coastline facility in the data is Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km away as the crow flies, actual road distances will be somewhat longer. Golfers have Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km straight-line. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 27 km as the crow flies, making transfer times short for a coastal-inland location; Valencia airport lies around 159 km away and Málaga roughly 369 km. For electric-vehicle owners, an Iberdrola fast-charging point at the Oasis Center is 3.8 km away. By car, the AP-7 and N-332 corridors connect Ciudad Quesada with Torrevieja, the Orihuela Costa and the wider region. Within the town itself, the data lists nine public transport lines and five stops, adequate for local trips but not a substitute for a car for beach visits or airport runs. The practical conclusion is that daily life can be conducted largely on foot, while regional mobility depends on private transport.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.8 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. This is a classic semi-arid Costa Blanca profile: mild winters in which a fireplace and air conditioning provide sufficient comfort, and hot summers cooled by sea breezes. The swimming season is recorded at five months with sea temperatures at or above 20 °C, running roughly from late May into October. At 69 metres above sea level, the town avoids both the flood exposure of the coastal strip and the summer heat build-up of deeper inland valleys. Rainfall is low and concentrated in autumn, which keeps garden maintenance manageable on the 500 m² plot. The surrounding landscape is defined by the salt lakes of Torrevieja and La Mata and the low hills inland, a setting that also attracts birdlife to the protected lagoon areas. The combination of elevation, sunshine hours and a five-month warm-water season is what defines outdoor living here: pool use from late spring, terraced seating in sun and shade through summer, and walking weather through the winter months.

Beaches of the Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja lie within a short drive of Ciudad Quesada; the marina at Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km straight-line, marks the nearest coastal hub, and the coves and blue-flag beaches of the Orihuela Costa stretch south from there. Golf is the area's strongest recreational card: Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km is one of the most regarded courses in the Alicante province, and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km adds a second championship option, with further courses along the coast beyond that. For racket and combat sports, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta sits 3.4 km away and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino at 3.5 km, with a taekwondo club at 5.0 km. The villa's own recreation is centred on the private pool, BBQ and outdoor dining area, which extends the usable season of the plot beyond the five-month sea-water window. Cycling and hill walking are feasible from the town given the moderate terrain at 69 metres elevation, and the salt-lagoon nature areas of Torrevieja and La Mata offer birdwatching and flat walking routes nearby.

Within Ciudad Quesada itself, the comparison is instructive. Phased new-build projects in the AREA Beach V Lo Marabú development advertise starting prices of €364,000 and €373,000, while key-ready new-build villas under the Villas Las Lagunas banner start at €649,000. This villa, at a fixed €499,950, sits in the middle of that band. What the buyer trades between these options is essentially age against space. The new-build units at the lower price points will carry modern insulation, contemporary energy standards and developer warranties, but at entry-level sizes and configurations. The key-ready new villas at €649,000-plus deliver contemporary build quality at a premium of roughly €150,000 over this property. This villa, by contrast, offers a five-bedroom layout and an established 500 m² plot with a mature pool area, a configuration that is difficult to find in new-build stock at this price, at the cost of a 1970 construction year whose technical condition requires verification. Regionally, the southern Costa Blanca positions Ciudad Quesada as a value-oriented alternative to the beachfront zones of the Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja, where seafront and first-line properties command clear premiums. Inland urbanisations such as Lo Marabú compete on price; the established centre of Quesada competes on walkable amenities and year-round services, a factor visible in the density of restaurants, banks and pharmacies recorded within two kilometres. For buyers weighing investment logic, the fixed asking price and immediate availability remove construction-phase risk, while the age of the building shifts the assessment towards condition, maintenance history and any modernisation already carried out. Golf accessibility, La Finca at 6.9 km, Villamartín at 14.9 km straight-line, and the short airport transfer of roughly 27 km place the property within the standard parameters of the southern Costa Blanca market.
