Cueva Manolo in Galera
This is a quirky, delightful, traditional cave house located in the heights of Galera, with amazing views. It has an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a dressing room, and a bathroom, plus a small cave to renovate, with a garden patio/parking area.
The small cave to renovate with a garden/parking area is situated directly opposite the main cave. This annex could be connected via a staircase leading to the living room of the main cave.
An option the new owners might consider is building a carport where the garden is and then creating a roof terrace above the carport, to relax and enjoy the sunsets with your favorite tapas and wine.
The main attractions of this property are its location with views, the garden/parking area, and of course its low price. There are very few properties at this price that are ready to move in with a minimal investment in renovations. Of course, you could do a full renovation but this is not necessary if your funds or time is limited.
This cave is located on a quiet street with views of the village, the Mirador del Cerro de los Capones viewpoint, and the Sierras de Cazorla, La Seguras y La Villas mountain chains, in between which La Sagra, with its imposing 2,381 meters of altitude, can be seen.
Interior of the property
The layout from the entrance hall is as follows:
Opposite the front door is a welcoming living room that connects to a spacious bedroom (currently a traditional social room).
To the left is the full bathroom.
To the right is a spacious kitchen connected to a bedroom with a dressing room. These two rooms could also be a dining room with a pantry/storage.
This is a functional property with a comfortable layout in one of the most popular villages of the region. With a few renovations, its authentic style and personality can be further enhanced.
