4 Bed Cottage for sale
La Romana, Alicante, Valencia, Spain
Full Description
Located in the peaceful El Algayat Valley, just five minutes from the town of La Romana, this authentic Spanish cave house offers a unique opportunity to enjoy traditional living surrounded by breathtaking mountain and countryside views.
The property has a total built area of 160 m² and sits on a 6,372 m² plot planted with mature grape vines and almond trees. Part of the cave has been partially renovated, providing comfortable living space while still leaving plenty of potential for further development or personalisation.
Exterior
The cave sits in an elevated position overlooking the valley, offering exceptional views and a peaceful rural atmosphere. At the front of the property, there is a small porch area and an electric shutter that opens to the main entrance. Outside, you will also find a small outbuilding that was formerly used as a chicken coop.
Entering through the renovated section of the cave, you’ll find a double bedroom, a compact kitchen and dining area, and a bathroom with a toilet and sink on one side of the hallway and a walk-in shower on the opposite side.
Continuing deeper into the cave, there is a spacious central room currently used for storage that could easily serve as a living room or family area. From here, the layout connects naturally toward the second entrance of the cave, where there is another open space that could function as a living or dining area.
Off this main area, there is a double bedroom with a window that brings in plenty of natural light, and a traditional fireplace with a large chimney and log burner.
To the left of the fireplace is a small pantry, and to the right, a room currently used as a dining room which could also be adapted as another bedroom. From this area, a short hallway leads to another bedroom, presently used for storage.
From the main living space near the second entrance, a large original wooden door opens into a room currently used for making wine. This area offers great potential and could be transformed into a kitchen or additional living space. Beyond this, there is an unfinished section of the cave, perfect for creating another bedroom, studio, or storage area depending on your needs.
Utilities and Additional Details
The property is currently connected to mains electricity, but the owners plan to install solar panels to make it fully self-sufficient. There is also a water deposit with a pump system that supplies water to the cave. The property has an alarm system.
One of the most attractive features of this property is how many of the cave rooms face outward, allowing an abundance of natural light, a rare and desirable quality in cave homes.
This charming cave house offers endless possibilities to tailor the space to your taste. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, a holiday retreat, or a renovation project with character, this property in El Algayat provides the perfect canvas in a truly beautiful setting.
