This property is built over two storeys with 134 sqm in total. It currently has 1 single and 4 double bedrooms, a family bathroom, a large L-shaped, open plan living room and dining room with a wood burner, the floor has just recently been newly and very tastefully tiled throughtout the ground floor. The kitchen which has just been newly fitted in December 2022 opens out onto the large patio and BBQ area with a covered pergola and ample seating and outside dining space.

Upstairs is a large room with a high, sloping ceiling and three windows, which is currently used as a grooming salon for dogs, and has a water supply and a gas water heater connected, so it could be converted into a 6th bedroom if desired. This space would make a beautiful large ensuite bedroom with its’ own access outside to a further large terrace and stunning views.

The property includes 1.595 sqm of land planted with several fruit and nut trees and additional ornamental planting, as well as several raised vegetable planters for those who enjoy growing their own food.

The property also has a 4x8m 29m2 swimming pool with outside shower and a large double garage 42m2, with plenty of space for two cars, or one car and large workshop space. Behind the garage is a third sun terrace with amazing 300º views and a second BBQ. This property is on mains electricity and mains water and has internet connected with a strong signal as well as a working Sky satellite dish.

In addition this property also has a great business potential. There are 6 double sized boarding kennels including a large enclosed area for the dogs to have exercise, plus a cattery with 6 pens already built on site. This business opportunity would provide a good income if used alongside the dog grooming salon as well. The house is ready to move into and is being sold fully furnished. All of the doors and windows are fitted with rejas.

There are beautiful unspoilt views looking over towards the Sierra de Baza and across the valley towards Baza town itself. Situated on the edge of a small cave community, it is wonderfully quiet and peaceful location, but not isolated.

The wonderful Lake Negratín is only 20 minutes drive and offers endless fun during the summer for swimming, kayaking, windsurfing and dog walking etc.

There are endless scenic walking routes from the property for dog walking, cycling or jogging. If you’re looking to become more self-sufficient and away from the crowds, this property is ideal. Being a cave house it offers ambient temperatures of around 20º all year round, so it’s warm and cosy in Winter and a wonderful cool retreat from the heat in the Summer.
