Cueva El Ropa in Los Olivos
This is a beautiful, traditional Andalucian family cave house, very nicely finished and maintained, with great views. It is situated on the outskirts of the peaceful hamlet of Los Olivos, part of the village of Castilléjar on the Altiplano of Granada. You can walk to the local bar or stroll along a quiet country road.
There is a gated front patio, a garage, plus a side patio, all with beautiful views of the countryside.
The cave house has a spacious entrance hall, large living room with fireplace, eat-in family kitchen, 2-3 bedrooms, a bathroom, a wide hall, and a room that has 2 storage closets and could be made into an additional bedroom. The living room and wide hall have deeply recessed windows, providing a sunny sitting area or desk space. The kitchen and bathroom are located on the other side of the house, providing all of these rooms with lots of light.
This cavehouse is built in an L-shape. The entrance side houses the bedrooms and living room. Then you turn into the wide hall, with an additional room that could be a bedroom, then through a hallway to the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom are outbuild.
To clarify the bedrooms: this house has four large Spanish “cueva” style bedrooms, that is, two walk-through bedrooms, each with a bedroom behind it dug deeper into the mountain. These “ensuite cave rooms” can be converted to make two bedrooms, each with a large dressing room, an office, or a playroom. There is also a room with two large closets that can be walled off to make an additional bedroom.
From the side patio, you access an unreformed cave that can be a workshop, storage, or can be reformed to make an independent apartment or game room, etc.
The walls are extremely thick so this cave is very well insulated. The floors have been laid with uniform tiles throughout. The property is sold furnished. It is ready to move in, to enjoy a slower paced, relaxed lifestyle of the Andalusian villages.
Location, services, and tourist attractions
Cueva El Ropa is located in a quiet neighborhood, a 5 minute walk from the local bar-restaurant and small food shop. The beautiful community summer swimming pool is also a short walk.
This property is in Los Olivos, a small hamlet of the village of Castilléjar. Castilléjar is a traditional cave village surrounded by lush farmland, hillsides dotted with cave houses, and the spectacular Badlands. Castilléjar is a 5 minute drive with basic shops, restaurants, bars, banks, primary school, doctor’s office, a pharmacy, and a weekly market. Los Olivos and the surrounding villages celebrate historical and cultural events with vibrant festivals throughout the year.
Los Olivos is near several mountain ranges, ideal for hiking, mountain biking, or hang-gliding. There are also spring-fed swimming pools and turquoise lakes 20 to 45 minutes away.
The village of Huéscar is 20 minutes away with more amenities, services and a 24-hour health center. The city of Baza is 30 minutes with large supermarkets and the regional hospital. Granada is 1 hr 20 minutes away. The closest coastal beaches are 1.5 hrs away. Airports are 1.5 hrs to 2.5 hrs.
