Encebras, Alicante, Valencia, Spain
Full Description
Located in an elevated position above the charming village of Las Encebras, this unique cave house enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the valley, the village itself, and all the way towards Pinoso, which is just under a 10-minute drive away.

The Property
At the entrance, you are welcomed by a covered front porch, a perfect spot to sit and take in the incredible views.
From here, you enter into a spacious kitchen and dining area, which is constructed outside of the cave section. This is a good-sized, practical space, and just off the kitchen you will find a family bathroom with a bathtub.
A short hallway from the kitchen leads you into the cave section of the home.
Inside the cave, the first area opens into a cosy sitting space with an archway and a fireplace, creating a traditional and characterful atmosphere. From here, you access the first double bedroom.
Continuing through the cave section, you will find:
A further two bedrooms, one of which is a pass-through bedroom
A separate double bedroom with space for a wardrobe
A door providing direct access back out to the front porch
There are effectively two entrances into the cave section – one through the kitchen area and another directly into the main cave living space.
The property also benefits from:
Mains water
Mains electricity
A handy storage room near the front porch

A concrete base currently used for an above-ground swimming pool
Steps leading up onto the top of the cave house
The remainder of the 4,275 m² plot is mostly flat, with olive trees and uninterrupted countryside views, offering plenty of space for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Condition & Potential
