Town house in Orce

Charming cave house in a small residential complex with a private patio, communal swimming pool and beautiful views

In a special location in Orce, in the north of Granada province, you will find this charming and surprisingly spacious cave house. A home full of character, offering plenty of privacy and a wonderful outdoor area, surrounded by the impressive landscape of the Granada UNESCO Global Geopark.

The property combines the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Spanish cave house with the comfort of a pleasant and practical home. White walls, rustic tiled floors and carefully chosen details create a warm Mediterranean atmosphere.

The property forms part of a characteristic, small-scale complex consisting of several individual cave houses. Each property has its own private living space and outdoor area, while the 130 m² swimming pool and certain communal areas are shared by the residents.

The property

Inside, the generous living space immediately stands out. The living room, kitchen and dining/work area form an open and welcoming living environment. The traditional finishes perfectly complement the character of the property.

The spacious and inviting living room features a wood-burning stove, ideal for the cooler winter evenings.

The kitchen is a real eye-catcher. Colourful tiles, wooden worktops, brick features and the open-plan design create a typically Spanish atmosphere. There is plenty of workspace and storage, and the kitchen connects pleasantly with the other living areas.

The spacious master bedroom is furnished with a double bed and offers plenty of wardrobe space on both sides. There is also a second room, currently used as a bedroom/library.

The bathroom offers practical facilities with a rustic appearance.

In addition, the property has a generous pantry/storage room, providing a surprising amount of practical storage space. This room could also potentially be used as an office.

A unique way of living in a cave house

Cave houses are characteristic of this part of Andalusia. Their thick natural walls provide a pleasant and relatively constant indoor temperature, a major advantage during both the hot summers and the colder winters of the Altiplano.

Thanks to the many windows, this property does not have the dark feel sometimes associated with cave houses.

Amenities and accessibility

Despite its peaceful, rural location, everyday amenities are close by. In Orce itself, you will find local supermarkets such as Spar City and Supermercado Rozalay, Farmacia Orce and a local medical consultation centre. For more extensive medical services and emergency care, Huéscar is nearby, while the hospital in Baza serves as the main reference hospital for the region.

Huéscar is approximately 14 km away and offers a wider range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools and other amenities. Baza is approximately 35–40 km away and is the larger town in the region, with a hospital, larger shops and a broader range of services.

For larger cities, Granada is approximately 138 km away, Murcia 158 km and Almería 171 km.

This property therefore combines the peace and space of the Andalusian countryside with all essential everyday amenities within easy reach.
