As recently featured on the UK TV series "A New Life in the Sun", Casa Calleja offers a rare chance to own a historic and stunning property with incredible business potential.
This extraordinary home, complete with a 150-million-year-old private cave, is not just a place to live but a one-of-a-kind experience. With a current tourist licence, Casa Calleja is perfect for running a B&B or Airbnb, promising a lucrative income while offering guests an unforgettable stay.
Designed in the late '70s by visionary artist Eladio Calleja and influenced by Cesar Manrique and Gaudi, this guitar-shaped house is a masterpiece of contemporary and rustic design, seamlessly integrating with the rocky landscape on which it sits.
As you enter from the car park, a path winds through lush gardens, leading to the B&B Studio, West garden terraces, a Jacuzzi, and a sunset viewpoint. Further along, the vine-shaded terrace guides you to the main house, the enchanting cave, and the cliff terrace, which features a serene sitting and barbecue area, an office, and storage space. Steps from here lead to a garden bursting with fruit trees and herbs, while the middle terrace, a private suntrap with four levels, offers a mosaic-tiled dip pool and an ancient carob tree intertwined with the rocks. Overlooking it all is Dark Angel, one of Callejas sculptures.
The crown jewel of Casa Calleja is its natural cave, a rare gem in private ownership. Warm in winter and cool in summer, this magical space currently serves as a romantic boutique Bed & Breakfast and is perfect for hosting.
Located in the Marina Alta region of Costa Blanca, adjacent to the famous La Cueva de las Calaveras (Cave of Skulls) and just 1 km from the picturesque village of Benidoleig, Casa Calleja is surrounded by olive trees and orange groves. The property is only a 15-minute drive from 15 km of sandy beaches, 10 minutes from the Marina shopping mall, and within easy reach of Alicante and Valencia airports. The World Health Organisation has ranked this area among the top three best climates globally, making it a perfect place to call home.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly magical property with endless potential. Don't miss out!
