Cave house For Sale in Fuente Nueva

Cueva La Paz in Fuentenueva (Orce)

Cueva La Paz is a charming, unattached, rustic cave home with tons of character. There is a large front patio with views of the Sierra Maria mountains plus a private walled side patio. This cave house can be converted into a main cave and a guest house or holiday rental/B&B.

The property is located in Fuente Nueva, a peaceful hamlet of the historic village of Orce. The beautiful stone facade of the cave house preserves the authentic character of Fuente Nueva's traditional architecture.

The gated patio is partially shaded with conifers and native vegetation. There is a patio water tap, and space for a small vegetable garden. Parking is at the entrance of the patio.

Above the cave is a plot of land that could be used for the construction of a garage or a terrace.

Interior of the house

The main entrance leads directly into a central living room, full of character with a fireplace, built-in shelves and traditional polished concrete floors. To the right is an eat-in country kitchen, a large pantry and a bathroom with a shower and separate toilet.

Across from the main entrance is the door to 2 bedrooms. The front bedroom is a walk-through that can be a dressing room/sitting room/office, followed by the back double bedroom with space for a built-in wardrobe.

At the far end of the living room is a second double bedroom, connected by a small hallway to a third double bedroom. The third bedroom opens to a small unfinished kitchen and unfinished bathroom. A hallway leads to a laundry/storage room which has a door to the enclosed private patio. The hallway also opens to the main patio.

The property could be divided into:
A main cave, ready to move in, comprising a living room, kitchen, pantry, bathroom, a double bedroom with dressing room or office (currently a single bedroom) plus a second double bedroom.

A second cave including a double bedroom, unfinished kitchen and bathroom, a storage/laundry room that could be converted into a living area with a door to the private side patio.

The two cave sections each have their own entrance. They are connected by a corridor that could be closed off.

This is a special cave house that has been lovingly reformed by the current owners. The property is just waiting for its next owner to complete the final touches.
