Cave House for sale in La Alqueria, Galera, Granada

A beautiful 4-bedroom traditional cave house in a semi-rural location of La Alqueria, Galera — only 220,000!

Recently completely renovated with the traditional feel but with all mod cons. Direct access to tarmac roads, no need to go on nasty dusty, muddy tracks. A very peaceful, scenic location, private but not isolated, just 5 minutes by car to Galera with all its many amenities and 10 minutes by bicycle. Galera has a wonderfully friendly community who are very inclusive and welcoming.

The plot is 1,945 m² and fully fenced with a 1.5 m chain-link fence. The house offers generous accommodation (280 m²), which is flexible and could easily be changed from the current 4-bedroom layout with a large storeroom to a 5-bedroom property, with the possibility of a potential rental unit if required.

A large garage provides parking for a large car and motorbike or quad bike, plus numerous ladders and tools. Extra parking is available for a motorhome or other vehicles.

The house is in turnkey condition and is classified as urban. From the front gates, you enter the large patio garden with a side access door to the garage and another arched gate to access the inner courtyard.

You enter the house via the beautiful porch/garden room with its high ceiling and two large windows, which flood the house with natural light. From the porch, you enter the kitchen diner.

The inner courtyard is extremely pretty and private, a real chill-out spot with a new modern pergola, access to a workshop/tool shed and the second shower room.

Double gates from the road lead you to a large gravel parking area, leading up to the large gravel garden area with a big pergola and extra exterior seating. This area is planted with olive, almond, plum, cherry and fig trees, plus many established plants. From this area, you can either walk up a slope or climb up a few steps to the flat area with its two small unreformed caves. This area gives the most beautiful view of the stunning surrounding countryside. This area has been left to nature.

Our privileged position in La Alqueria gives us access to numerous country walks, mountain bike trails, horse riding, dirt bike riding, etc. — a truly beautiful area.
