Cave House for sale in Caniles, Granada

Spacious Cave House with Extension in Caniles

This unique property is an authentic cave house with a large, solid extension, giving you the best of both worlds: the natural comfort of a cave and the space of a full-size home. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it is an ideal family house.

The cave section provides a stable and pleasant indoor climate: cool in summer, warm in winter — exactly as people have been building here for generations. The extension adds light, space and practical living area, making the home feel generous.

In the main salon there is a wood-burning stove that provides warmth and atmosphere during the winter months. In the kitchen and living area, warm/cold air conditioning is installed, ensuring year-round comfort.

The living spaces are generously designed, with a large dining room where family and friends naturally come together. The kitchen is practical, solid and directly connected to the living area.

The bedrooms are spread throughout the cave, providing peace and privacy. With three bathrooms, the home remains comfortable even for multiple residents or guests — something rarely found in cave houses.

Upon entering, you arrive in a cosy reception salon that immediately gives a warm, homely feeling. From here, the property continues into the cave section, where several bedrooms and a bathroom are located.

To the left you enter a second, slightly smaller salon, where the wood stove is the central feature.

Behind this salon, the home opens into a spacious open kitchen combined with a dining and living area. This is the heart of the home: cooking, eating, living and spending time together. The space is bright, large and practically laid out, with plenty of room for big tables and enjoyable evenings.

Connected to this living area are two additional bathrooms and an extra bedroom.
