This detached villa stands on a 438 m² corner plot in La Marquesa, a residential area in Rojales on the southern Costa Blanca. Built in 1970 and offered key-ready, the property provides 146 m² of living space with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private 8 x 11 metre swimming pool and off-road parking. Bars, restaurants, a main-brand supermarket and La Marquesa Golf Course are within roughly a 10-minute walk, while the Blue Flag beaches of Guardamar del Segura are around 10 minutes away by car. The asking price is fixed at €420,000.
Within its immediate market context, this villa competes in a different segment from the surrounding new-build apartment projects. In Torrevieja, apartments at Palangre Beach start from roughly €160,000 and the key-ready units at Edificio Sun & Center from about €169,000, while Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso begins around €227,000. All three offer lower entry prices but communal living: shared pools, no private plot and apartment-style layouts. At a fixed €420,000, this La Marquesa property delivers what those projects structurally cannot, a detached house, a 438 m² corner plot, a large private 8 x 11 metre pool and golf-course views, at the cost of a 1970 construction rather than modern build standards. Geographically, Rojales sits between Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja, slightly inland of the coastal apartment belt. This means quieter surroundings and golf-side living, with the beach a 10-minute drive rather than walkable. Buyers weighing this villa against the Costa del Sol should note that the southern Costa Blanca generally operates at lower price points for detached stock while offering a comparable mix of sunshine hours, golf and an established international community. The trade-off for the buyer here is clear: modern apartments offer new installations and communal facilities at lower prices; this property offers space, privacy and land, with the age of the building as the factor to inspect and price in.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Marquesa is a residential district of Rojales, inland of the coastal strip yet within short reach of the sea. The villa sits within walking distance of everyday amenities and adjoins the La Marquesa Golf Course, with mountain views to the interior. Guardamar del Segura and its beaches lie a short drive west, connecting a quiet golf-side setting with practical coastal access.
The house offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a lounge with a log fireplace and an American-style fitted kitchen. Double doors open onto a large covered terrace, and the garden includes a private pool, gazebo, barbecue area and irrigation system. Two bedrooms have air conditioning and two include fitted wardrobes. An annex adds flexible space for storage, a hobby room or guests.
This is an existing home completed in 1970 and available immediately, there is no construction phase or delivery waiting period. The purchase concerns the current structure and its dated elements, so an inspection of the 1970s build quality, installations and any renovation needs forms part of a sound evaluation.
The property does not include central heating, underfloor heating or a heat pump; climate control consists of air conditioning in two bedrooms plus a wood-burning fireplace. Parking is open off-road parking rather than a closed garage. There is no sea view. The plot is largely gravelled and tiled rather than lawned, and the 1970 construction predates modern insulation standards.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a detached home with a private pool near a golf course, at a price below what comparable villas closer to the coast often command, will find the layout and plot relevant. Households that want space for visiting family, three bedrooms and three bathrooms reduce pressure on shared facilities, form a second group. Third, buyers planning part-time residence in Spain benefit from the walkable amenities, the security grills and the low-maintenance plot, all of which suit a home left empty for stretches of the year. The property is less obvious for buyers wanting a modern energy-efficient new build: the 1970 construction, partial air conditioning and fireplace-based winter heating reflect an older generation of housing that may require investment in insulation, electrics or climate systems over time. Buyers requiring a garage rather than open parking, or a sea view, would also need to look elsewhere. In short, the villa suits those who prioritise plot size, privacy and golf-side living over contemporary build standards, and who are prepared to assess an older property on its technical condition.
The villa dates from 1970 and its finish reflects that period combined with later updates. Positive technical features include natural gas connection, an irrigation system for the garden, and security grills on all windows and doors, a practical measure in this region. Air conditioning is present in two of the three bedrooms; the third bedroom and the living areas rely on other means of climate control, with the log fireplace covering the cooler months. The interior photographs show a furnished, lived-in condition: a lounge with a working fireplace, a twin bedroom with desk, and organised storage shelving in the annex. The kitchen is an American-style fitted unit integrated with the living space. Buyers should treat the 1970 build year as central to their assessment: construction standards of that era in Spain typically involve solid masonry walls but limited insulation, older window frames unless replaced, and electrical and plumbing installations whose age and condition need verification. The private pool at 8 x 11 metres is a substantial feature that also carries maintenance and running costs. The gravelled and tiled plot reduces gardening demands but means the garden is hardsurfaced rather than planted lawn. Overall, the finishing level is functional and habitable rather than newly renovated, and the fixed asking price should be evaluated against the potential cost of modernising installations where inspection indicates it is needed.
The villa is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €420,000, not a starting price within a range. For this amount, the buyer acquires 146 m² of built living space on a 438 m² corner plot, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool, an annex and off-road parking. Compared with nearby new-build apartments in Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso, which start between roughly €160,000 and €227,000, this property sits in a different segment: detached living with private outdoor space rather than an apartment within a communal development. Availability is immediate, as the house is key-ready; the completion year of 1970 means the price should be weighed against the age of the construction and installations.
Daily life at this villa revolves around the covered terrace and pool area, which function as the practical heart of the house for most of the year. Mornings can begin on the terrace with views over the golf course and the mountains behind it, with the gazebo offering shaded seating during the hotter hours. The garden has deliberately been kept low-maintenance, gravelled and tiled surfaces with an irrigation system, which reduces gardening work while preserving the outdoor living space around the 8 x 11 metre pool. Indoors, the lounge with its log fireplace serves the cooler winter months, and double doors connect it directly to the terrace, making the transition between inside and outside almost seamless. The kitchen is American-style and open to the living area, a layout that suits informal dining and social use. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an en suite in the double bedroom, accommodate a family or visiting guests without shared bathroom schedules. The annex adds a versatile room that current owners could use for storage, tools or hobbies; the photographs show it functioning as an organised storage space. Because bars, restaurants and a main-brand supermarket are around a 10-minute walk away, basic shopping does not strictly require the car, though the surrounding region, beaches, larger towns, the airport, is easier to reach with one. Security grills on windows and doors throughout are a practical feature for a property that may be left unoccupied between visits, which is relevant for second-home use.
La Marquesa forms part of Rojales, a municipality in the southern Costa Blanca where residential urbanisations mix with agricultural land and golf facilities. The immediate surroundings are quiet by nature: the villa sits in a corner position with views over the golf course and the mountains beyond, which limits through-traffic and front-facing neighbours. Daily errands are manageable on foot, the data indicates a roughly 10-minute walk to bars, restaurants, a main-brand supermarket and the golf course, which is a meaningful level of self-sufficiency for a residential district of this type. For everything beyond daily needs, the car is the practical mode of transport: the beaches of Guardamar del Segura are about a 10-minute drive, and the wider network of towns such as Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and the shopping and health facilities of the region are within easy motoring distance. Outside the summer season, the area calms considerably, as is typical for Costa Blanca urbanisations with a mix of permanent residents and holiday homeowners. Life here is best understood as golf-side residential living with the coast within short reach, rather than life in a coastal town itself, a distinction buyers should weigh according to whether they prefer village bustle or a quieter base.
The map shows the villa's position within La Marquesa, immediately related to the golf course, with Rojales' town centre a short distance east and Guardamar del Segura's Blue Flag coastline to the west. The walking-distance amenities and the 10-minute drive to the beach define the property's practical footprint on the map.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Rojales sits in the southern Costa Blanca, between the coastal towns of Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja and inland of the Orihuela Costa strip. La Marquesa is one of its established golf-side urbanisations. Within this geography, the villa occupies a middle position: far enough inland for quiet and golf views, close enough to the coast for a 10-minute beach drive. For buyers comparing the Costa Blanca South with other Spanish coastal regions, the area offers lower price levels than the Costa del Sol while providing a similar combination of golf, beaches and an international resident community.
The key distances from the property are short and practical. Bars, restaurants and a main-brand supermarket lie within approximately a 10-minute walk, as does La Marquesa Golf Course, an unusually direct relationship with a golf facility. The Blue Flag beaches of Guardamar del Segura are roughly a 10-minute drive by car. These figures are travel times and straight-line proximity; road distances can differ. The villa includes off-road parking on its own plot, and a car is advisable for reaching the beach, larger towns, medical facilities and the regional airport, whose travel time is not specified in the available data. Public transport in residential urbanisations like La Marquesa is generally limited, so the assumption of car-based mobility is the realistic one here. Within the immediate neighbourhood, however, the walkable amenities reduce dependence on the car for everyday shopping and dining, which distinguishes this location from more isolated rural villas.
The southern Costa Blanca around Rojales has one of the driest and sunniest climates in mainland Spain, with mild winters and hot summers moderated by the nearby sea. The villa's position adjoining the golf course and facing the mountains gives it an open, green outlook unusual for an inland residential plot. Elevation is modest, this is low-lying land a short distance from the coast, so there are no significant slopes on the plot itself, though the mountains to the west are visible in the views. The swimming pool can realistically be used from late spring through early autumn, and the covered terrace extends outdoor living into the shoulder seasons. In winter, the log fireplace and the air conditioning units in two bedrooms handle heating needs, which reflects the region's generally mild but occasionally cool winter nights. The irrigation system supports planting on the plot despite the dry climate, a practical feature given local water considerations.

The nearest coastal attraction is Guardamar del Segura, roughly a 10-minute drive away, whose beaches carry Blue Flag status, an independently assessed standard of water quality and services. Guardamar also offers a pine forest along the coast and a traditional Spanish town centre. Closer to home, La Marquesa Golf Course is within walking distance and effectively functions as the property's back garden view, providing a green, open landscape and a walking or sporting amenity. On the plot itself, recreation centres on the private 8 x 11 metre pool, the gazebo with its shaded seating, and the barbecue area, a complete setup for outdoor entertaining without leaving home. The wider region adds further options: the lagoons of La Mata and Torrevieja's natural park lie to the south, and the sports and marina facilities of the coastal towns are within a short driving radius. For a household that combines golf, poolside living and regular beach visits, the recreational mix within a 10-minute radius covers most leisure needs.
