Finca/Country House for sale in La Romana, Alicante

Charming off-grid cave house near La Romana

Just outside La Romana, in a peaceful natural setting, you will find this unusual cave house. From the outside, only the façade is visible, giving little indication of what lies behind it. Inside, you discover a surprising home with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate toilet. Over the years, the cave has been converted into a living space while preserving its natural curves and original character. With solar panels and its own water supply, the property is completely off-grid, making it an interesting option as a holiday home with low ongoing costs.

A small covered terrace at the front leads into a cosy living area. The curved walls and rounded openings give the interior a welcoming atmosphere and create a layout unlike that of a conventional house. The living room features both an open fireplace and a wood-burning stove, with space for a dining area.

The kitchen is small but practical, equipped with a hob and refrigerator. There are also two bedrooms, a compact bathroom and a separate toilet. The property is habitable but could benefit from some updating, particularly a fresh coat of paint on the walls. The simple interior suits the character of the cave and offers opportunities to make the space your own. An interesting additional feature is the wine storage area, a reminder of the cave's former use as a winery. There is also a practical storage room inside the house, suitable for bicycles, tools and other belongings.

Directly in front of the house is a small covered terrace where you can sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and mountain views. The surrounding land has not been landscaped as a garden but consists largely of flat ground. This offers possibilities for creating additional seating areas or a garden. Grapevines and almond trees are already present.

Electricity is supplied by solar panels, while water is stored in a tank of approximately 40,000 litres. Wastewater is discharged into a pit, locally referred to as a pozo negro. The property is not connected to the conventional electricity or water networks.

The cave house is located just outside the village of La Romana, overlooking the surrounding mountains. Shops and other everyday amenities are approximately 5 kilometres away.

With its unusual layout, authentic features and independent utilities, this cave house is particularly interesting for anyone looking for a peaceful holiday retreat or a personal hideaway in nature. A property with its own character that, with a little attention and some fresh finishing touches, can be further adapted to personal taste.
