Set on close to 10.000m2 of land with a stunning mountain backdrop of the Sierra Algayat mountains you will find this historic Cave house with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 reception rooms, kitchen, pantry, bodega, wine cellar, workshop, garage, carport……. Where do we begin.

The Cave House.

There are many cave houses in this area but few as beautifully appointed as this. From the shaded naya at the from the property looks like a traditional Spanish country home, with comfortable shaded seating, the perfect spot for meeting friends and guests, however through the traditional solid wooden door you will find the first reception room which is still in the “house” section of the property. Down a step and you enter the cave itself  and you will be greeted with a light, bright, open plan area perhaps the opposite of what you would have expected from a cave house. This open area has a second lounge with fireplace (The tv lounge/winter snug), the cinema room with fireplace, and a large seating area…….. so 4 reception rooms in total and we are just through the front door. The large open room has a feature “light well” which floods the area with natural daylight and enhances the light and airy feeling of the property. This space is used as a dining area and is handily next to the traditional rustic Spanish kitchen, complete with tiling and wooden shuttered doors for the cupboards. There is a gas hob (bottled gas), filtered drinking water and a large pantry/larder next to the kitchen.

Off the large room you will find a guest toilet and huge walk in shower….. This room also benefits from a smaller but equally effective light well.

To complete the ground level we have the surprise behind the two large wooden doors……. The bodega. This large L-shaped room still has the grape deposit, the original wine press and a useful wine cellar.

On the first floor beneath the vaulted ceiling you will find 5 double bedrooms and a further 2 bathrooms. These rooms are above the house section of the property and they also maintain all the rustic charm and character of the property.

The property is connected to mains drinking water as well as mains electricity. The cave dates back approximately 150 years, however it was extensively rebuilt about 12 years ago so is infact much more modern than it looks.

The final part of the cave experience is through the other set of door on the front of the building. These lead to a workshop/storage room and then through a short hallway to the laundry area.

The Plot:

The villa sits on a large plot of 9656m2 and encompases from one end to another: a large front field, the pool area – this area has not been used for many years and this is an opportunity to completely renovate the pool, retile and modernise the pool terrace. There are two shaded seating areas next to the pool and terrace perfect for hiding from the sun after an exhausting day sunbathing and enjoying yourself. Down a short staircase from the pool level you have the summer kitchen and BBQ with 1.5 tonne marble table, and a grassed area with planting and swings. Passing by the house/cave you come to the rear of the property where you will find a large garage/workshop, shaded carport and back field.

This is a one of a kind property and we have tried our best to convey the unique nature and character of the property through this description, the 50 photos and the property video, however we really think that if cave living is for you then you need to make time to visit this property.
