Located in the traditional inland town of Alguena, this fascinating property combines a substantial traditional house with the original cave dwellings, a private swimming pool, large garage and separate guest casita. Set on approximately 1,100 m², the property offers around 350 m² of total built space, including a 232 m² main house.
Built in 1900, this is certainly not a standard Spanish property. The unusual layout, generous proportions and central location give it enormous potential for someone looking for a home with character and the opportunity to create something genuinely individual.
The main house begins with a light and bright open-plan lounge and dining area at the front of the property. From here, you enter the first section of the cave, which currently includes:
A central courtyard then leads into the original part of the cave, where you will find additional rooms offering considerable flexibility. The courtyard also provides a practical utility area with space for a washing machine.
Outside, the property becomes particularly appealing. The private swimming pool is surrounded by a sunbathing terrace, mature plants and palm trees, creating a lovely area in which to relax during the warmer months. Behind the pool is a shaded garden area, while to one side a long driveway leads to the impressive 8 m by 5 m garage.
On the opposite side of the pool, a private lane leads to the separate guest casita. This provides a large open-plan living and dining area with kitchen and fireplace, together with a small bedroom and en-suite bathroom. There is also a private garden and garden store, making this an ideal space for visiting family and friends or potentially for creating independent accommodation.
The property is connected to mains drinking water, electricity and mains sewage, with fast internet readily available. The annual IBI is approximately €150.
One of the real advantages of this property is its location. You can walk into Alguena, where you will find shops, bars and restaurants, while the town is also well known for its popular Sunday street market. Each July, one weekend sees the town come alive for its famous TT race for small-capacity motorbikes, an event that brings a very different atmosphere to the streets.
Having lived and worked in this part of Spain for many years, we know how much people appreciate being able to walk into a traditional Spanish town while still having their own private outdoor space. Could you see yourself enjoying the pool and gardens here, perhaps while friends or family stay in the separate casita?
And if you are looking for a property where you can put your own stamp on it, rather than simply buying someone else's finished project, could this unusual cave house be the opportunity you have been waiting for?
With six bedrooms, three bathrooms, approximately 350 m² of total construction and a plot of around 1,100 m², this is a property with plenty of space and scope. Its unusual combination of cave living, outdoor space, pool, garage, guest accommodation and walkable town location makes it worthy of viewing for anyone looking for something genuinely different, with the potential to add both personal value and value to the property itself.
