This detached villa stands on a 1,000 m² plot in Ciudad Quesada, an established residential area on the southern Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante. The property offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms across approximately 205 m² of living space, arranged over two floors. Built in 1970 and delivered key-ready, it includes a private 8 x 5 metre swimming pool, a rooftop solarium with fourteen solar panels, a sauna, a garage and a pergola-covered outdoor kitchen. The asking price is fixed at €639,000. Shops, restaurants and other daily amenities lie within a short drive, and the beaches of Guardamar del Segura are roughly ten minutes away by car.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada sits inland of Guardamar del Segura, at about 69 metres above sea level. The villa stands in a residential street with palm trees, within walking distance of El Recorral Natural Park. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 27 km away as the crow flies, and the regional cities of Elche, Murcia and Alicante are all within approximately 40 km straight-line distance.
The house is configured for permanent or seasonal living with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, gas central heating, air conditioning and a fireplace. Practical extras include a garage, storage and utility rooms, a basement, electric blinds and a furnished interior. The garden with private pool, barbecue area and covered terraces supports outdoor living for most of the year given the local climate.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was completed in 1970 and is offered key-ready as an existing home, with a fixed asking price of €639,000. The rooftop solarium has been fitted with fourteen solar panels. Any renovation history beyond the listed features is not documented in the available data, so buyers should verify the current condition during a viewing.
The property is a single existing villa rather than a newly constructed project, with a construction year of 1970. There is no on-site communal facility such as a gym or residents' club, and no sea view is recorded. The listed living area is 205 m², which differs from the larger built area mentioned in older marketing material. A car is practically necessary for beach visits and wider shopping.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A large or blended family needing five bedrooms and four bathrooms gains a layout where the lower floor can operate semi-independently, useful for older children, visiting relatives or long-term guests. Buyers planning partial relocation benefit from gas central heating and year-round amenities in Ciudad Quesada, where restaurants, pharmacies and banks stay open outside the summer season. Holiday-home buyers get a pool, outdoor kitchen and solarium that serve the roughly five months per year when sea water reaches at least 20°C and the terrace season is long. Households that value wellness facilities will note the private sauna, an uncommon feature at this price level. The property is less self-evident for buyers seeking a lock-and-lock apartment with communal maintenance, or for those who want to walk to the beach: Guardamar's sandy beaches are about ten minutes by car. A car is part of daily life here, and the 1970 construction year means the usual technical inspection of an older building, wiring, plumbing, roof, belongs to the purchase process.
The villa's documented features point to a gradually upgraded 1970 property rather than a recent construction. On the technical side, the fourteen rooftop solar panels are the most significant addition, lowering electricity bills in a region with strong sunshine hours. Gas central heating is a substantive comfort feature on the southern Costa Blanca, where many homes rely on electric heaters alone in winter; combined with air conditioning, ceiling fans and a fireplace, the house covers heating and cooling across the seasons. Electric blinds appear on the openings, and the kitchen is described as fully fitted. The bathroom with a private sauna forms an internal wellness area, a feature normally found in higher price brackets. Outdoor facilities include the 8 x 5 metre pool, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen with barbecue and a garage with storage space, plus a separate storage room, utility room and basement. The interior is sold fully furnished. What the data does not show is the age of the roof structure, plumbing or window frames; with a 1970 build, a technical survey is the sensible step to establish what has been replaced and what remains original. The gap between the listed 205 m² living area and the roughly 280 m² built area in older material also deserves clarification during a viewing.
The villa is on the market at a fixed asking price of €639,000. As an existing, key-ready home it is not part of a price list, and no
Daily life at this villa revolves around the garden and the two floors of living space. The main floor holds a lounge with a fireplace and large windows facing the garden, a fitted kitchen, three bedrooms with ceiling fans and two family bathrooms. The lower floor adds a second living room, another kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which contains a private sauna. This split layout suits households that want separate zones for guests, family or rental use, though it should be verified how the two levels function independently. Outdoors, the 1,000 m² plot contains an 8 x 5 metre pool, a pergola seating area and an outdoor kitchen with barbecue, which extends usable living space into the warmer months. Gas central heating and air conditioning cover both ends of the temperature range; the regional average monthly temperature runs between 12 and 26°C. The rooftop solarium with fourteen solar panels reduces electricity costs in practice. El Recorral Natural Park is about a five-minute walk away and provides walking routes on the doorstep. Supermarkets and other essentials are roughly two minutes away by car, so a vehicle is part of the daily routine here. With five public transport stops and nine lines in the area, some local movement is possible without driving, but the villa's position in a residential street means most errands are done by car.
The immediate area within 2 km of the villa contains 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, one café and a dentist, which covers daily needs without leaving Ciudad Quesada. El Recorral Natural Park is reachable on foot in about five minutes and functions as the local green lung for walks and recreation. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino 3.5 km, both as the crow flies. An EV charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center is 3.8 km away, relevant for electric-car owners. The setting is residential and low-rise, with the elevation of 69 m giving gentle terrain rather than steep hills. The area has nine public transport lines serving five stops, which supports basic mobility, though most residents use a car. The beaches of Guardamar del Segura are approximately ten minutes by car, and the marina de les Dunes is 7.6 km away straight-line for boat-related leisure.
The map shows the villa's position within Ciudad Quesada, west of Guardamar del Segura and the coast. El Recorral Natural Park borders the urbanisation within walking distance, while the beaches lie roughly ten minutes' drive east. Note that listed distances are straight-line; road distances are longer.

Ciudad Quesada records an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. That range supports outdoor use of the pool and terraces across a long season, and the swimming season locally runs about five months when sea water holds at 20°C or above. The villa sits at 69 metres above sea level, so the terrain is nearly flat, relevant for cycling and walking comfort. El Recorral Natural Park borders the urbanisation and offers walking routes within five minutes of the front door, giving direct access to green space without driving. The fourteen solar panels on the solarium align with the region's generous sunshine hours and offset part of the household's electricity use. Gas central heating covers the cooler months of December through February, when average temperatures sit near the lower end of the range.

The sandy beaches of Guardamar del Segura lie about ten minutes away by car and form the main coastal attraction for residents of Ciudad Quesada. The nearby Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km straight-line, adds moorings and waterfront dining. Golf is well represented: Club de Golf La Finca is 6.9 km away as the crow flies and Club de Golf Villamartín 14.9 km, giving two courses within a quarter-hour's drive. For everyday sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and Polideportivo municipal El Molino (3.5 km) cover racket sports and municipal facilities, while a taekwondo club sits at 5.0 km. Closer to home, the villa's own pool, barbecue area and sauna mean that leisure does not depend on leaving the plot, and El Recorral's trails start within walking distance.

Within Ciudad Quesada itself, this villa is positioned against current new-build supply. Comparable projects in the same town include Villas Las Lagunas, advertised key-ready from €649,000, City-Island from €690,000 and Avenida Naciones from €749,000. At a fixed €639,000, this 1970 villa sits at the entry point of that range while offering something the new builds do not: a 1,000 m² plot. New-build villas at these price levels typically carry smaller plots, so buyers trade modern construction and warranties for land, mature garden and existing features such as the sauna, gas central heating and the solar installation. The trade-off runs both ways. A 1970 building requires a technical survey and carries no developer guarantees, whereas key-ready new builds deliver current building standards and lower immediate maintenance. Location-wise, all four options share the same town, so the differences lie in plot size, finish age and specification rather than in neighbourhood. Looking wider, Ciudad Quesada is generally more affordable than coastal-front locations in Torrevieja or Guardamar del Segura itself, where sea proximity commands a premium. The villa's inland position at 69 m elevation, roughly ten minutes from the beach and about 27 km straight-line from Alicante-Elche airport, matches the typical profile of the southern Costa Blanca: residential calm, golf within a short drive, and urban services in Elche, Alicante or Murcia all within roughly 40 km as the crow flies. For buyers comparing across the region, the deciding factors here are plot size and built features against the construction year.
