This beautifully refurbished part cave home is located in the small hamlet of Los Olivos, Granada. The property is easily accessed via tarmac roads and is peaceful but within easy reach of the larger village of Castillejar. The property comes with great outside space – a walled garden gives privacy and with lots of mature plants, creates the feeling of an oasis and with mountain views, you get the best of both worlds. Cave living has long been popular and offers a steady ambient temperature all year round – cool during the heat of the summer months and maintains a comfortable temperature even in the coldest months of the year. This comfortable ambient living is a wonder compared to the standard built houses in southern Spain which are often very cold in winter. Cave houses can be thought of as dark but this property is very light with windows in most rooms and there is a flexibility in terms of how all the rooms are used. The current owners have various rooms which could be used as bedrooms but are better suited to extra living space. Outside space is a key feature in Spain and this property has a beautiful landscaped walled garden full of flora. There is further land outside of the walled garden which can be used for a variety of purposes. There is also off street parking with space for 2 cars. Having been recently refurbished, the house comes with all modern features and services including mains water and electricity and sewerage with services newly installed within the last few years. Internet connected with a 30Mbps download speed. The property is laid out as follows: Ground Floor – entrance hall with separate newly fitted kitchen to the right, which leads to a dining room and a newly renovated utility room off the kitchen. The large living room can be accessed from both the dining room or the hall. Off the hall is a smaller living room with a log burner fire. Spacious double bedroom with two wardrobes and chest of drawers. A newly fully tiled bathroom with new shower, toilet and feature sink. Up a step to another spacious bright double bedroom with two large wardrobes, dressing table and bedside cabinets. Along the adjacent hallway and enter the door to the upstairs double bedroom with a lovely beamed ceiling all recently reformed with 2 bright windows and views to the mountains which is currently being used as a further lounge. (The flexible layout within the house allows various rooms to be used as bedrooms but these can also be used for other purposes – extra living accommodation, hobby rooms or as a home office/study etc) The property has been fully reformed by the current owners over the last few years. As well as newly fitted mains utilities, all the floors have been laid new with detailed tiling and edging. All the wall light fittings are Moorish style glass with featured hessian wiring in the upstairs room. Two new tiled roofs have been fitted to the outbuilding. The walled garden: The outside area is spacious with a beautiful walled garden totally private and safe for pets/children. It is filled with various flora and a Pomegranate tree and has a section which has been made into a fully tiled entertainment seating area but could also lend itself to being a base for a jacuzzi or above ground pool. (There is also ample space to fit a pool elsewhere in the Garden if required or other seating areas) There is a large storage shed and an unreformed large cave room with a separate door which could be used as further accommodation if required. The land above the cave is owned and registered which contains a large lockable stone building away from the Cave footprint which could be reformed for even more accommodation or to house a pool or jacuzzi as it is totally private, this part of the plot is fenced and gated. In addition a plus with caves, there is an off road parking bay to park 2 cars Los Olivos and Castillejar Los Olivos is a quiet hamlet with a population of around 100 mostly holiday homes.
