    Hello amazing people,
    Sometimes, finding yourself lost brings you to this place. Our home gives the gift of getting alone. Allowing you to put yourself in decreased sensory input. To hear yourself again. Visitors in years gone by have found this time alone has simplified the heart and pathed the way for the journey ahead. Disconnect to reconnect and clear your mind in hectares of Spanish landscape.


    While we offer hosting from two weeks, we're ideal for those searching for an extended stay…a couple months sounds like a treat!


    If this is you, feel free to reach out - paid positions may be available during certain periods for the right person.

    We live a content and uncomplicated life, with an emphasis on zero waste. If you're up for the task and ready to take on the adventure, we would love to hear from you!

    We are particularly interested in candidates who specialize in beekeeping, gardening, animal care, massage or anyone who demonstrates how they can contribute to our experiences. So let us know!
    We always guide and support in tasks such as house sitting, animal care, vegetable gardening during the spring and summer, as well as general property maintenance and household chores.

    So have you stumbled upon your perfect mountainside retreat?
    Picture this. A hot morning beverage watching the sunrise over the mountains. Stargazing under a sky unpolluted by light. Pure air and extraordinary beauty amid a harsh climate. This is our Natural Earthship positioned on top of a cliff completely off the grid with solar power and our own water well. We are 35 minutes away from town and enjoy 18-hectares, 13.2-acre property at an altitude of 1017 meters.
    Expect intense heat in the summer (pleasant in the evening), and chilly weather and rainfall in the winter.
    Be cautioned - this is a remote place! Except for internet and the passing shepherd, this can be lonely. Despite the isolation, it is still a comfortable place to stay.
    However, please note that this is not a cheap vacation spot. It has required a significant amount of enthusiasm, energy, time, effort, sweat, tears, frustration, and patience from many to make what it is today. As such, we expect those who share this experience with us to show respect and treat each other and the property with love, nor harm to what we have worked so hard to create.



    It seems many people have a romantic idea about a self sufficient house or way of living. It surely is something beautiful, but not easy for those without experience OR who don't know what to expect. Some key points:
    Inside the cave is 20º C. The wood for the fireplace doesn't grow in the woodshed (as some people seem to think) and isn't for free either. So that when finally the winter arrives and we get to burn the firewood, we do it with respect, weighing seriously if it is really necessary to throw another piece to the fire and not just because it's nice. Because you never know how hard or long the winter is gonna be and if you will have wood enough.

    There are tasks that need to be done everyday, it doesn't matter if it rains, snows or it is 40º C. that's life in a self sufficient house in the middle of nowhere.

    *If you decide to contact us, what we really need to know is what you expect from this experience and what you're willing to offer as a volunteer and as a person.

    **Also, please be advised of the minimum age limit of 22. This because even when I explain everything here I sadly have to keep on playing the mother role with the people between 18 and 22. Of course not with all of them, but sadly with most of them and I'm simply very tired of that!!

    So now, if you did read until here, welcome to our profile! :D

    We consist of Hilde, who at 49 years of age chooses to live as a hermit, preferring solitude for personal introspection. Alain, on the other hand, is a 56-year-old extrovert who loves to make others laugh with his humor.
    We have 5 dogs, 3 cats, 5 chickens, and bird of prey.
    We left the rat race to start a new life in Spain, with the aim of creating a beautiful and self-sustaining community through perm culture tailored to the dry climate.
    In our free time, we enjoy playing board games such as Munchkin, Carcassonne, the Village, Santoska, Star Trek Catan, and poker without any monetary bets. We look forward to getting to know you!

    In the event that someone fails to honor the agreed-upon timeframe for their stay, barring any unforeseen circumstances such as death, they may need to find their own way back to the bus station.
    Lack of holding this commitment reflects poorly on you, and we will be sure to leave a negative review as a result. Once we have accepted someone we do not give back word or not turn up to meet you!! We expect the same from You .

    If you find this offensive then you are probably this type of person!

    If you do not find it offensive then you are the one for us!! (Reliable).

    If you apply to us, put "happiness" in your answer. So we know you read it all . You can also put in "
    Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious " without copying and get extra bonus points

    Transport : There is a bus to Orce from granada every day except Saturday. On Sunday it is a late bus , but you have to look first from Granada to Baza and then from Baza to Orce. Sometimes you have to switch bus in Baza .
    Hitchhiking is difficult to here, but not impossible . We can pick you up at the bus stop .
    All other possibilities can be discussed depending from where you are coming .
    We will help you to find the most easy way by plane, train , bus or all other forms of transportation.

    The big attraction of the cave houses is the fact that you feel in a cave house like in the nature. "In a cave house is cool in summer and warm in winter. " In the winter the cave maintains 21°C with one log burner and in the summer the same but without the log burner . :-)

    We are in the UNESCO Global Geopark of Granada within the Badlands typical of the region. The Andalusian village of Orce may be small, but is nevertheless of remarkable importance in the search of the first traces mankind in Iberia.It is certainly worth a Google to discover the heritage of the site. We are also here to teach what we know!
