Casa Cueva La Colina is a stunning cave house with a distinctive, modern design. The property is situated in the heights of the village of Galera with expansive views of the valley and hills beyond. The cave is southeast facing. It is built right through the mountain so it has both front and back patios, providing all day sun. There is also an exquisite upstairs sun terrace.
The cave house has an entrance hall, open plan living room/kitchen with breakfast bar, a dining room, 2 double bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a utility area.
The front patio is 12 meters wide and fully enclosed with inlaid natural grey-blue stone and a delightful dining area with a retractable awning, perfect for al fresco dining in sun or shade. The patio has views of the hillside across the valley. This property is located near the end of the road so there is very little passage. There is parking space across the road from the house.
The bright, welcoming entrance hall has a traditional wooden split barn door. To the right is a full bathroom with shower. To the left is an impressive airy living room with ceilings around 3-4 meters (9.5-13ft), a fireplace with a modern steel chimney, and bespoke kitchen with every detail tastefully designed. The pendant rope light fixture stays as part of the sale. There is an intriguing inside cave window that was preserved and is backlit in the wall.
Upstairs from the living room is a beautiful double bedroom with a charming en-suite cave bathroom and a sun terrace with the most amazing views.
Straight ahead from the entrance through sliding barn doors is the cave dining room with a cozy cave double bedroom to the right. You walk through the dining room to the back entrance with storage cabinets on the left and a utility area with a desk on the right. Then you step out the back door onto the enclosed back patio with built-in benches, storage closet plus wood storage, and wide open views, perfect to relax and enjoy the sunsets. The winding road in front is a mostly pedestrian path. This is a stunning spot for peace and contemplation.
This property has been thoughtfully finished and is impeccably maintained. The floors are covered with dark oak wood style tiles matched with a modern version of traditional blue patterned tiles and wood accents. Painted steel ceiling beams add another modern touch. The cave house is furnished with quality furniture, most of which is included in the sale.
The patios/terrace have outside lighting and enclosure walls finished with traditional terracotta roof tiles. Retractable awnings have been installed above the front patio dining area and over the upstairs terrace sitting area. The roof is in perfect condition. This is a property of exceptional quality and is ideal if you enjoy relaxing outdoors in a beautifully finished environment.
