Buy a golf home at La Marquesa Golf in Rojales
Buy a golf home at La Marquesa Golf in Rojales
Are you interested in buying a golf home at La Marquesa Golf? If so, you’re looking at one of the most well-known golf and villa communities around Ciudad Quesada and Rojales on the Southern Costa Blanca.
La Marquesa Golf is located in the municipality of Rojales, right next to Ciudad Quesada. Around the golf course, you'll find a mix of:
- detached villas;
- townhouses;
- bungalows;
- apartments;
- existing homes;
- renovated homes;
- and new construction.
The area isn't just appealing to golfers. Homebuyers who appreciate a greener living environment, scenic views, international amenities, and easy access to the beaches of Guardamar may also find La Marquesa appealing.
Be sure to check out our page on living in Ciudad Quesada, our information about Rojales, and our current listings.
Where is La Marquesa Golf located?
La Marquesa Golf is located on the western side of Ciudad Quesada, in the municipality of Rojales.
That is important because Ciudad Quesada is not an independent municipality. For municipal matters, a residence in the La Marquesa area falls under the jurisdiction of the Ayuntamiento de Rojales.
This applies, for example, to:
- standard;
- municipal taxes;
- urban planning matters;
- permits;
- and local regulations.
Golf course in the middle of a residential area
La Marquesa is different from some remote golf resorts.
The golf course is located in the middle of several residential neighborhoods.
Nearby you'll find:
- residences;
- restaurants;
- bars;
- local services;
- and other amenities.
That means this is a great place to live even if you don't play golf every week.
A home on the golf course or just near a golf course?
This difference is important.
An ad listing “golf property” may mean that the property:
- is located right next to the golf course;
- has a view of the golf course;
- is just a few streets away;
- or is simply located in the same residential zone.
Therefore, always check the exact location.
A home located 200 meters from the golf course can offer a completely different living experience than a home with the fairway right behind the yard.
Living right next to La Marquesa Golf
A home located right on the road can be attractive for the following reasons:
- green view;
- a relatively open environment;
- golf nearby;
- fewer buildings directly on one side;
- and a unique living experience.
But there are also some points to consider.
Consider:
- privacy;
- golf balls;
- activity on the track;
- maintenance;
- noise in certain areas;
- and the orientation of the home.
Golf balls in the yard?
For homes located directly along a fairway or green, this is a serious practical concern.
Check:
- which hole the house is located on;
- direction in which the game is played;
- distance to the fairway;
- existing nets;
- elevation difference;
- and any prior damage.
A beautiful view of the golf course is less appealing when your patio is regularly in the path of golf balls.
Buy a Villa at La Marquesa Golf
Villas make up a significant portion of the housing inventory in the La Marquesa area.
Depending on current availability, you'll find, for example:
- detached villas;
- villas with private pools;
- single-story homes;
- villas with a basement;
- homes with guest quarters;
- renovated villas;
- and modern new construction.
For many buyers, it is precisely the combination of golf, a private pool, and outdoor space that is appealing.
Villa right on the golf course
If I were looking at a villa on the road, I would pay special attention to:
- orientation;
- privacy;
- safety;
- property boundaries;
- maintenance;
- golf balls;
- and future changes to the golf course.
It must also be clear where private property ends and the golf course begins.
Buy an Apartment at La Marquesa
Not everyone is looking for a villa.
You'll also find apartments in the La Marquesa area.
This might be of interest to you if:
- want less maintenance;
- has a lower total budget;
- enjoys a communal pool;
- stays in Spain only part of the year;
- or doesn't need a large garden.
Be sure to check the following:
- lift;
- parking space;
- community;
- swimming pool;
- patio;
- view;
- and slopes surrounding the complex.
Buy a Bungalow at La Marquesa
Bungalows are also very common.
As is often the case in Spain, the term "bungalow" here usually means:
- ground-floor apartment with a garden or terrace;
- or an upstairs apartment with a balcony and a sun deck.
This type of home may be a good option if you want more outdoor space than an apartment offers, but less maintenance than a single-family home.
Townhouse near La Marquesa
A townhouse can be a compromise between a bungalow and a villa.
You may receive:
- multiple floors;
- private patio;
- multiple bedrooms;
- parking space;
- and access to the communal pool.
This can be convenient for families or permanent residents.
New Construction Around La Marquesa
Depending on current listings, you'll also find new construction around La Marquesa and Ciudad Quesada.
This may include:
- modern villas;
- townhouses;
- apartments;
- or small-scale residential projects.
Be sure to check out our current new construction projects as well.
New construction with a view of the golf course
For new projects, a view of the golf course can be an important selling point.
If so, check the following:
- Starting on which floor;
- from the living room or just the patio;
- distance to the track;
- future construction possibilities;
- and whether the view is truly permanent.
A rendering showing an unobstructed view does not guarantee that the surrounding lots will never be developed.
What is included in new construction?
Always check the memoria de calidades.
Don't automatically assume that:
- private pool;
- kitchen appliances;
- full air conditioning;
- solar panels;
- furniture;
- lighting;
- landscaped garden;
- pergola;
- outdoor kitchen;
- basement finishing;
- or charging station.
This can vary significantly from project to project.
Buying an Off-Plan Golf Home
Are you buying before the home is built?
In that case, you will evaluate, among other things:
- floor plan;
- site plan;
- orientation;
- view;
- technical description;
- and construction scheduling.
Also, check the following:
- payment schedule;
- protection of advance payments;
- contract terms;
- and expected completion date.
Key-ready golfwoning
A newly built home that’s already completed has one major advantage: you can see the actual view for yourself.
You'll see right away:
- ocean view;
- privacy;
- location;
- zon;
- access;
- slopes;
- neighbors;
- and noise level.
That's especially important for a home near a golf course.
La Marquesa is hillier than many people expect
One of the most important characteristics of the area is the difference in elevation.
Streets wind up and down around the golf course.
That may be appealing because:
- view;
- privacy;
- and a less flat residential landscape.
But it can also be less practical.
A kilometer isn't always a kilometer here
On the map, a restaurant or store might appear to be nearby.
But at La Marquesa, you can:
- slopes;
- stairs;
- elevation differences;
- on the way
make a big difference.
Therefore, be sure to check the actual walking routes during a tour.
“Within walking distance of the golf course”
For golfers, this usually means wanting to be able to get to the clubhouse without a car.
Therefore, don't just check the distance to the nearest fairway.
The clubhouse or the entrance to the course may be located on a different side.
That's an important difference.
Golf Course Home for Non-Golfers
You don't have to be a golfer to enjoy living here.
La Marquesa may also be of interest because of:
- green surroundings;
- villas for sale;
- international residents;
- hospitality industry;
- Rojales is nearby;
- Ciudad Quesada is nearby;
- and Guardamar within reach.
Anyone who has absolutely no interest in golf will have to consider whether they are willing to pay a premium for the location.
Near Ciudad Quesada
La Marquesa is part of the wider residential area surrounding Ciudad Quesada.
There you'll find a wide selection of:
- restaurants;
- cafés;
- supermarkets;
- international services;
- sport;
- and other facilities.
However, not everything is within a comfortable walking distance from every part of La Marquesa.
Rojales City Center
On the other side lies the historic center of Rojales.
This has a much more local Spanish character.
Among other things, you'll find:
- Segura River;
- stores;
- hospitality industry;
- town hall;
- local festivals;
- and traditional residential streets.
That makes La Marquesa an attractive option for those who want both international and Spanish amenities nearby.
Guardamar and the Beach
La Marquesa is not located by the sea.
For a beach, for example, drive to Guardamar del Segura.
Guardamar offers:
- long sandy beaches;
- dunes;
- pine grove;
- center;
- and the hospitality industry.
If you want to walk to the beach every day, you're better off looking for a place right on the coast.
Combine golf and the beach
For many buyers, it is precisely this combination that is appealing.
You live in:
- in golf;
- in a residential area;
- but not far from the coast.
As a result, La Marquesa has a different profile than a golf resort located much further inland.
A beachfront villa or an apartment by the sea?
This is a helpful budget comparison.
With the same total budget, for example, you can choose between:
- villa near La Marquesa;
- apartment in Guardamar;
- apartment in Torrevieja;
- townhouse in Benijófar;
- of a bungalow in Ciudad Quesada.
The choice then comes down mainly to:
space, a pool, and golf
versus
the beach and compact living.
Private Pool
Many villas around La Marquesa have a private pool.
For existing homes, check the following:
- registration;
- technical condition;
- pump;
- filters;
- leaks;
- patio;
- and maintenance.
A swimming pool also involves annual costs.
Communal swimming pool
Apartments, bungalows, and townhouses may, in fact, have a shared swimming pool.
That can be practical for a second home.
On the other hand, there are community fees.
Community
When inspecting a home in a residential complex, check the following:
- monthly or quarterly contribution;
- reserve fund;
- swimming pool;
- garden;
- insurance;
- scheduled work;
- and any debts.
In the case of a completely detached villa, there may not always be a community association, but never assume this automatically.
Golf View and Orientation
A view of the golf course doesn't tell you anything about how much sun your patio gets.
Therefore, always check:
- location of the living room;
- patio;
- garden;
- swimming pool;
- and bedrooms.
A direction that's ideal for summer use may actually get less sun in the winter.
South-facing isn't always automatically better
For permanent residents, the winter sun can be pleasant.
But in July and August, shade can actually be valuable.
So, first determine how you will use the home.
Gulf-style home with a basement or lower level
Due to differences in elevation, some of the villas around La Marquesa have a basement.
For example, it can serve as:
- garage;
- salvage;
- office;
- extra bedroom;
- apartment;
- gym;
- or guesthouse.
For existing homes, verify that this space is registered in accordance with the law.
Guest House
For people who host family or friends, a separate apartment can be an attractive option.
Check:
- independent access;
- bathroom;
- kitchen;
- ventilation;
- light;
- and legal status.
Not every converted basement is legally considered living space.
Renovating an Old Villa
There are homes from various periods around La Marquesa.
An older villa can be appealing because you might get:
- larger lot;
- prime location;
- mature garden;
- ocean view;
- and more living space.
But the renovation can be extensive.
Check the technical condition
In older homes, pay attention to the following, among other things:
- dak;
- moisture;
- electricity;
- pipes;
- the frame;
- air conditioning;
- swimming pool;
- facade;
- the terrace;
- and retaining walls.
On a sloping lot, retaining walls in particular require extra attention.
Retaining Walls and Elevation Differences
For homes built on a slope, walls can help retain soil.
Check:
- tears;
- water drainage;
- construction;
- and maintenance.
This is a different consideration than with a completely flat lot in, for example, Benijófar.
Rainwater and Drainage
The way rainwater is drained from higher-elevation streets and properties may also be relevant.
Check out:
- street slope;
- garage entrance;
- patio;
- swimming pool;
- drains;
- and lower-level areas.
Beach House and Privacy
A home on the golf course has an unobstructed view, but that doesn't automatically mean complete privacy.
For example, golfers might walk or drive by.
Check:
- distance to the fairway;
- buggyroute;
- green;
- tee;
- clubhouse;
- and any hiking trails.
House near a tee
Being close to a tee can mean that players often stand in one spot for a relatively long time.
That could result in more movement and noise.
House near a fairway
That's exactly where the direction of the game matters.
Deflected balls can be relevant.
House near a green
Here, golfers can spend more time in the same area.
Each of the different locations along the track therefore has a different residential profile.
A golf course as a view
One of the advantages is that the immediate green surroundings generally feel different from a fully built-up urban area.
You may have a view of:
- fat;
- palm trees;
- fairways;
- hills;
- and surrounding homes.
However, always check the exact view from the home yourself.
Permanent Residency at La Marquesa
Would you like to move to Spain permanently?
In that case, it’s important to look beyond the golf course and the pool.
Check:
- supermarket;
- school;
- health care;
- parking;
- daily walking routes;
- internet;
- and accessibility.
For families
For families, a villa can be appealing because:
- garden;
- bedrooms;
- swimming pool;
- pets;
- and outdoor space.
But also check out:
- route to school;
- sport;
- pool safety;
- slopes;
- and daily car trips.
Be sure to also read our information about education in Spain.
For retirees
For people who want to spend their retirement in Spain, La Marquesa may be an attractive option.
But the slopes make choosing a home even more important.
Please note in particular:
- single-story living;
- admission;
- stairs;
- access to amenities;
- parking space;
- pool maintenance;
- and healthcare.
Single-story villa near La Marquesa
A single-story villa can be appealing, but be sure to check the lot as well.
The house itself may be a single-story structure, but it may still have stairs leading to:
- street;
- swimming pool;
- garden;
- of garage.
So “single level” doesn’t always tell the whole story.
Second home on the golf course
La Marquesa may be an attractive option for a second home because:
- has a golf course nearby;
- you can have your own outdoor space;
- has an international environment;
- and you can easily visit coastal towns.
Be sure to take care of maintenance while you're away.
Maintenance When You're Not in Spain
At a villa, someone may be needed to:
- swimming pool;
- garden;
- control;
- after
- ventilation;
- and any leaks.
An apartment or bungalow with a community association may require less maintenance on your part.
A Beach House as an Investment
Would you like to invest in Spanish real estate?
In that case, you shouldn't assume that “next to the golf course” automatically means a higher return.
Analyze:
- purchase price;
- total costs;
- target audience;
- housing type;
- ocean view;
- outdoor space;
- swimming pool;
- parking space;
- rental rules;
- and future marketability.
Target audience for a golf course home
A home at La Marquesa might be of interest to:
- golfers;
- winter visitors;
- retirees;
- international residents;
- and people who want to live in residential settings.
The target audience is therefore broader than just vacation golfers.
Vacation Rentals
Are you interested in renting out your property for short-term tourist stays?
Please check this before purchasing.
That may depend on:
- regulations of the Community of Valencia;
- Municipality of Rojales;
- urban planning context;
- any community;
- and registration requirements.
A villa next to the golf course should therefore not automatically be considered a vacation rental.
Long-Term Rentals
For long-term tenants, other factors play a greater role:
- bedrooms;
- internet;
- parking space;
- schools;
- stores;
- outdoor space;
- and accessibility.
A home that’s ideal for golfers isn’t necessarily the best permanent rental property.
The Marquise of La Finca Golf?
Algorfa is home to another well-known golf course, La Finca Golf.
The Marchioness
This is more appropriate if you're looking for:
- Ciudad Quesada;
- Rojales;
- large existing residential area;
- many different types of housing;
- and Guardamar nearby.
The Farm
Has a profile that is more in line with:
- golf resort;
- recent developments;
- larger open areas;
- and a more clearly defined golfing environment.
It makes sense to look at both.
The Marquess of Vistabella Golf?
Vistabella Golf is located further along the road toward Orihuela and Los Montesinos.
There you will also find:
- villas;
- bungalows;
- apartments;
- and new construction.
La Marquesa is more closely integrated into an existing international residential community.
The Marquise of Villamartín?
Villamartín on Orihuela Costa is also known for golf and its international community.
Villamartín is closer to:
- Flamenco Beach
- La Zenia;
- Orihuela Costa;
- and several golf courses.
La Marquesa is actually closer to:
- Rojales;
- Ciudad Quesada;
- Guardamar;
- and the northern part of Vega Baja.
The Marquise of Los Montesinos?
Los Montesinos doesn't have a golf course right in the center of town, but it is conveniently located near several golf courses.
La Marquesa is a better fit when golf needs to be an integral part of your living environment.
The Marquise of Guardamar?
Guardamar offers:
- beach;
- center;
- dunes;
- pine grove;
- and apartments.
La Marquesa offers:
- golf;
- villas;
- swimming pool;
- greater elevation difference;
- and a residential area.
This is primarily a choice between the golf course and open space or the ocean and compact living.
The Marquise of Downtown Ciudad Quesada?
Although both fall under the same broader residential category, the experience may differ.
Closer to Avenida de las Naciones, you'll find more:
- restaurants;
- stores;
- and central facilities.
Around La Marquesa, golf plays a much more prominent role, and the landscape is hillier.
Living at La Marquesa without a car?
That depends largely on the specific home.
Near the commercial area around the golf course, you can reach certain amenities on foot.
But for:
- grocery shopping;
- beach;
- hospital;
- schools;
- and surrounding municipalities
A car is often practical.
Parking
Parking can be especially important at a beachfront home.
Check:
- private driveway;
- garage;
- on-street parking;
- slope;
- width of the entrance;
- and space for visitors.
On steep streets, having your own flat parking spot is a definite advantage.
An electric buggy at home?
People who live very close to the golf course might be interested in owning their own golf cart.
Always check:
- permitted route;
- stalling;
- charging capability;
- and rules regarding use outside the golf course.
Don't automatically assume that you're allowed to drive a golf cart anywhere on public roads.
Legal Review
For an existing beach house, the following items, among others, can be inspected:
- ownership;
- children;
- Land Registry;
- Census;
- built-up area;
- swimming pool;
- expansions;
- lower grades;
- guest house;
- community;
- and permits.
A real estate agent and an independent legal advisor play different roles in this process.
Golf course next to your lot
If a home is located directly on the road, it may also be wise to check the following carefully:
- property line;
- secretion;
- right of way;
- maintenance zones;
- and access.
Don't just use the visible garden wall as your starting point.
How much does a golf course home at La Marquesa cost?
There is no meaningful general amount for that.
The price depends heavily on:
- villa, bungalow, or apartment;
- whether or not there is a direct view of the golf course;
- lot;
- private pool;
- renovation;
- year of manufacture;
- view;
- bedrooms;
- and new construction or existing buildings.
So be sure to check out our current listings.
Do you pay extra for a view of the golf course?
Sometimes, a location right on the water can affect the asking price, but this is not a hard-and-fast rule.
A home with:
- less privacy;
- poor orientation;
- lots of stairs;
- or need for renovation
Even with a view of the ocean, it may be less appealing than a better home just one street away.
Take a look at the complete housing package
So compare:
- home;
- lot;
- location;
- view;
- zon;
- swimming pool;
- maintenance;
- parking;
- and everyday necessities.
Not just the word “golf.”

A golf home at La Marquesa is about much more than just its distance from the course. The area is hilly, and homes can vary greatly in terms of golf course views, privacy, walking distance, lot size, and accessibility. Furthermore, living in a villa right on a fairway is different from living in a home near a green or in a higher-elevation bungalow with a view of the course. Therefore, when considering any property, don’t just look for the word “golf”—also check the exact location, orientation, slopes, access to the clubhouse, maintenance, legal registration, and how practical the location is for you beyond just golfing.
