Situated just 6km from the village of Orce, you’ll enjoy the quiet country life while being just minutes drive away from four villages — each offering something unique to enjoy.
The main cave covers an area of 120m2 and you’ll enjoy 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious salon, bright kitchen, laundry area, large covered patio, and enclosed courtyard. There’s even a “star terrace” above the patio, which is ideal for stargazing or watching the sunset.
There is a solar hot water tank with an electric booster on a timer for the few weeks in deepest winter where the days are short and the skies are cloudy. The cave is connected to mains electricity.
It is being sold part furnished and all of the appliances and wood-burner are only 4 years old.
The home has internet access, and there are several internet providers and fibre-optic internet in the nearest village so you could have internet in every room if required. (Remember — you're in a cave! If you don’t boost the signal, your wifi won’t make it through those thick walls.)
Outside the courtyard, the land is lined by chest-high shrubs, fruit and olive trees, and rock-bordered beds with rich soil for planting vegetables or flowers. Most of the outdoor pots and plants will be left. The land around the beds, trees, and shrubs is covered in fine gravel for easy maintenance.
The land gently slopes down to another 3-room cave with a large placeta out front with a fig tree, pomegranate tree, and 3 pine trees.
There is ample room for parking, additional gardens, or for building onto this second cave (an outdoor kitchen/BBQ area, perhaps)?
The inside of the second cave has been thoughtfully updated, with a new facing, concrete floors with hidden conduit ready for plumbing and electrical works, and strategically placed blocks on the front facing to make it easy to open it up to build out a kitchen on one side and a bathroom on the other (you would need to obtain permission from Orce Town Hall).
The roof of the cave has a waterproof membrane on top along with a stone gutter system to quickly remove water from any heavy storms. The hill above is reinforced with a retaining wall which connects to an attractive wall at the side of the property, perfect for shade, growing vines, or stacking wood.
The cave is situated at the end of the lane, so you won’t have any cars driving in front of your house.
The pretty courtyard around the large covered patio allows you maximum privacy, while the exterior land offers fruit trees, attractive planting beds, and the opportunity to add more flowers, vines, and seating areas.
This is a beautiful property with lots to offer and early viewing is recommended.
