Cave-house Valentina in Galera
This is a stunning cave property that is full of character. This exceptional cave is the last house at the very top of the hill. It has a large, sunny, fully enclosed patio and spectacular views. The property is located in the pretty village of Galera, a quiet Spanish village with a thriving expat community. It’s a peaceful rural village where you can enjoy connection with nature without sacrificing modern comforts.
The cave house is designed in harmony with the surrounding landscape and features a large gated patio with two delightful sitting areas. The house has an open-plan kitchen-living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry/utility room that could be converted back into a 3rd bedroom.
The terrace is relaxed and tasteful with a comfy living area under a wooden pergola and grape vines, with wonderful distant views. There’s a built-in barbecue, perfect for dining al fresco. This section features an old fashioned water pump and houses a utility closet for the solar hot water heater. On the other side of the patio next to the front door is a cosy breakfast nook and a storage space. The patio ground is partly covered with a stunning floor inlaid with quality rustic tiles.
Home Interior
The house has a small entrance hall with a storage space. There is a bright, gorgeous open-plan kitchen with a large island and a quirky, triangular-shaped living-dining room with a pellet stove. There are high ceilings, exposed wood beams and partially inlaid stone walls. A hall leads back to a beautiful modern full bathroom with a bath next to a laundry/storage room (or a third bedroom).
At the back of the cave are two double bedrooms, one on each side of the hall, with cabinets built into the rock between the bedrooms. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a shower and a skylight that provides natural light.
The bedroom and bathroom doors are made of white lacquered wood with decorative glass panels which allow light without compromising privacy.
This house has been carefully renovated with personal touches that preserve the traditional cave house style. Every corner of the property reflects attention to detail.
This property has its own charming character, is in impeccable condition, and is ideal for those who value tranquility, comfort, nature and sustainability.
Location, Services, and Tourist Attractions
Cave House Valentina is situated in the heights of Galera on the Granada Highlands. A few minutes walk takes you to a track along a crest with magnificent views of the Badlands. In the other direction, you walk along a crest to discover the Mirador de los Capones, a panoramic glass lookout point above the village that was built in 2021 as part of the unesco geoparque de Granada project.
Galera is situated on the edge of the badlands near several mountain ranges, ideal for hiking, mountain biking and paragliding. There are turquoise lakes within a 20-45-minute drive. Each village has a communal pool, often fed by spring water.
Galera has restaurants, bars, banks, a weekly market and basic shops including two bakeries, a pharmacy, 2 grocery stores, a fishmonger and a natural food store.
The town of Huéscar is 15 minutes away, with more amenities and a 24-hour health center. The city of Baza is a 40-minute drive with large supermarkets and a regional hospital.
