(VILLAS FOX Ref: ) REFORM OPPORTUNITY IN CAVE DISTRICT OF SAN MIGUEL DE SALINAS. Constructed floor size = 92.00 m2 Plot size = 142.00 m2 Year of construction = 1900 * 15 minutes drive to beach * 2 airports within 45 minutes drive * Fibre-optic internet available in this area * Garden * Near bars and restaurants * Near golf courses * Near medical centre * Near public transport * Near schools * Near supermarket * Not part of a community * Offers only from clients with legal representation (lawyer) * West-facing opportunity in the cave district of San Miguel de Salinas to reform this former shop, office and cave dwelling with two adjacent small plots of land. One of the plots of land is separated from the rest of the property by a public footpath, but interestingly is connected to it via the cave part of the property below! This is a chance to own an important part of San Miguel local history, as the structure dates officially from the year 1900! The property is situated on a pedestrianised street home to quaint cottages and cave houses, and even a bar-restaurant built into the caves, which is currently looking for a new owner too. There are some splendid examples of street art nearby as you can see from the photographs, and the street leads to the Plaza de Pozo de Enmedio (Square with the Well in the Middle) which it has been speculated was the site of a Roman field hospital. Another legend says that a lady once fell into the well and never came out, but it won´t happen again as the well is no longer there. The façade is east-facing with large windows to let in the morning sun. The main part of the property has a ground floor with stairs to a mezzanine level, and access to the cave part of the property which extends for quite a distance, with several different areas that were previously used as bedrooms etc when the cave was once occupied. San Miguel still has many caves that currently house people and restaurants etc, so you won´t be the only troglodytes in the village! So if you´re looking for a property with lots of character and history, which could be used as either residential or commercial and you are ready for a project, here you are! Available exclusively to Villas Fox clients, so call us directly to arrange a viewing. We will be able to put you in contact with an architect who knows the property well and can guide you through the paperwork required to make use of the property either for your home or business, and to get the water and electricity connected etc. This fantastic home is offered for sale by Villas Fox, having been appointed directly by the owners. We have by far the best selection of properties in the San Miguel de Salinas area. Our office is on the San Miguel ring road (Ronda Oeste) between the Repsol petrol station and the Masymas supermarket. San Miguel de Salinas San Miguel de Salinas is a very popular Spanish town just 15 minutes drive from the beaches of Mil Palmeras, Campoamor, Cabo Roig, La Zenia, Torrevieja, La Mata, Guardamar etc and surrounded by beautiful countryside which includes citrus and almond groves and the national park of Sierra Escalona right on our doorstep. You can walk and cycle for miles along the canal which runs right next to the town. There are a great variety of bars and restaurants, both Spanish and international (the annual tapas run event is very popular!). If you are looking for a holiday destination or a place to live all year round, San Miguel is a great choice as it has all amenities (excellent primary and secondary schools, banks, health centre which never closes, 3 pharmacies, large outdoor swimming pool, football and athletics stadium, 5-a-side football pitch, tennis courts, padel courts, basketball courts, petanca, crown green bowls etc) and maintains the same rhythm throughout the year (ie not too busy in the summer, and not too quiet in the winter). The pace of life is gentle and relaxing, and prices in the bars tend to be more reasonable than the coast. The weekly Wednesday street market is a great opportunity to stock up on locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, hams, cheeses, olives, clothes and shoes etc, before having a drink and tapas in one of our friendly tavernas! There is a good local taxi service and buses run several times daily to Torrevieja, Orihuela and Murcia. Alicante and Murcia airport are both approx 40 mins drive away. Internet services are generally fast (fibre-optic) and reliable. San Miguel is a place where you can enjoy a taste of traditional Spanish life and culture, whilst being close enough to the coast to enjoy all the great things the Costa Blanca has to offer. ¡Bienvenidos a San Miguel de Salinas!
