Description
We are pleased to present this unique cave house located right on the edge of the traditional inland town of Algueña. The property enjoys the best of both worlds, with shops, bars, restaurants, and everyday amenities within easy reach, while its position on the edge of town provides more space, privacy, and a countryside feel.
Set across approximately 1,100 m² of land, the property offers around 350 m² of total built area, including a main house of approximately 232 m². Dating back to around 1900, the property combines conventional living accommodation with original cave rooms, as well as a separate casita, private swimming pool, large garage, gardens, and several outdoor areas.
Main House
At the front of the property, a covered entrance porch provides a pleasant seating area before entering the main house.
The front door opens into a bright and spacious open-plan living and dining room with plenty of natural light, a fireplace, and space for a large dining table.
From here, a hallway connects the main living area with the rest of the conventional part of the house. Along the hallway you will find a fully fitted kitchen with plenty of worktop and storage space, a double bedroom, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom with a walk-in shower.
There is also an additional room currently used as an office, which could easily be used as another double bedroom if required.
Courtyard & Cave Accommodation
At the end of the hallway, the house opens onto a small internal courtyard positioned between the conventional house and the original cave section.
Off the courtyard is an additional bathroom/utility room with a toilet and sink, together with space for the washing machine.
Directly across the courtyard, you enter the cave section of the property. Here there are two further double bedrooms, together with a living and kitchen area featuring a traditional fireplace/chimney.
There is also a useful pantry/storage area towards the end of this section.
The combination of conventional rooms and original cave accommodation gives the property a particularly interesting and flexible layout, with plenty of space for family, guests, hobbies, or working from home.
Rooftop Terrace
Above the cave section is a large roof terrace of approximately 75 m².
Accessed from the side of the property, this elevated terrace enjoys fantastic open views in all directions across Algueña and the surrounding countryside and mountains. There is plenty of room here for outdoor furniture, sun loungers, or an additional entertaining area.
Swimming Pool & Outside Space
Across the road from the main house is the property's larger outside area, measuring approximately 875 m².
Here you will find the private swimming pool, which is fully fenced and gated and surrounded by generous patio space for sunbathing and relaxing. Mature palm trees and conifers around the area create an attractive and established setting.
There is also a comfortable outdoor seating and dining area, ideal for enjoying meals outside, together with an outdoor shower.
To one side of the pool, a driveway leads down to the large 8x5 m garage. There is plenty of room for a vehicle as well as additional workshop and storage space.
On the opposite side, a pathway leads through to a separate garden and seating area with mature trees, outdoor furniture, a swing, and a seesaw, providing another peaceful place to relax.
Guest Casita
Also within this part of the property is a separate casita, attached to the garage building but arranged independently.
The casita offers an open-plan living and dining area with a fireplace and an L-shaped fitted kitchen in the corner.
There is also a bathroom and an additional room currently used for storage, which could easily be adapted into a bedroom if desired.
A door from this room leads directly into its own private garden, which can also be accessed independently through a separate entrance gate. This makes the casita particularly useful for visiting family or friends who would like their own space.
Services & Additional Features
The property benefits from mains drinking water, mains electricity, and mains sewage, with fast internet available in the area.
In its current configuration, the property offers four established bedrooms together with an office that could become another double bedroom and a further room in the casita that could also be adapted for sleeping accommodation.
With its original cave accommodation, conventional living spaces, independent casita, swimming pool, large garage, gardens, rooftop terrace, and excellent location, this is a very unusual property with plenty of space and flexibility. It would be particularly well suited to a larger family, anyone regularly hosting guests or extended family, or buyers looking for a character home they can adapt and personalise over time.
