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 andquot;houseandquot; section of the property

Down a step and you enter the cave itselfandnbsp; 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 andquot;light wellandquot; 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
