The owners will welcome you as friends and will be happy to introduce you to the activities, places of interest and sites that are not to be missed.
The owners have carried out the ambitious project of renaturalising the site, planting more than 750 olive trees and other trees in a semi-desert and abandoned environment far from any electro-magnetic radiation.
Today, their estate produces organic olive oil and contributes to sustainable development through reforestation. The olives are cultivated and harvested in the old-fashioned way, by hand. A well with a natural sulfur water gives the land a natural food supplement. They use horse manure in combination with said water as a natural alternative to fertilizer.
The planting of trees suitable for the climate, such as almond and olive trees, helps combat the effects of drought and soil erosion and contributes to safeguarding biodiversity. Their vegetable garden operates on permaculture principles. The plantation of trees and hedges protects the vegetables from the hot wind and the sun. Their efforts have been fruitful, for many insects – including bees – and small animals have returned to the estate! Finally, a drip irrigation system brings the right amount of water to the plants during nighttime.
A troglodytic cottage has a small ecological footprint by nature: initially dug into the rock, it does not use modern composite materials such as concrete and does not require major construction work to build up. Porous stones such as limestone and sandstone have a high thermal regulation capacity and a modest cost. In a cave, the median yearly temperature is between 18° and 23°C. It regulates itself naturally, which saves heating or air conditioning. In winter, for example, a 30-minute chimney fire will suffice to reach a pleasant 21°C. The swimming pool has a salt installation with electrolysis so that chlorine is unneeded.
The estate also produces fruits and vegetables in permaculture from unique natural old seeds bought at Kokopelli.
Traditional habitats, Sam and Aurore’s caves are located on the edge of the natural park of Baza, in the Altiplano desert, in the region of Granada.
The center of the small town of Baza is only a 10-minute drive away and the beautiful city of Granada is about an hour’s drive away.
The surroundings of the house offer many possibilities for sports and cultural activities: hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, canyoning, canoeing on the Lake Baza, balneotherapy in hot springs, etc.
The *National Park of Sierra Nevada * is roughly an hour and a half’s drive away.
