We have on offer here the perfect opportunity to own a lovely detached Cortijo with swimming pool, and almost 10,000m2 of land, located on the border of Martos and Fuensanta de Martos in the Jaen province of Andalucia, Spain.   The property offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and has the potential to be a great family home, turned into a B & B or used for equestrian activities etc. The house is laid out "chalet style" with accommodation on two floors, and you access the property via a well maintained track.

You enter the house directly into the large lounge diner with a feature fireplace.  This is a great space which is light and airy.  From here, there is a corridor that leads to the garage, which is now used as a dining room. The kitchen is on the right and then a bathroom further on. On the left is a bedroom and another room that is currently being used as a sitting room but could be an additional bedroom or office.

On the first floor, which is accessed via an external spiral staircase, there are five more good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, the large pool sits in its own patio area which is great for relaxing and entertaining and there are also seperate BBQ and seating areas.  There is a nicely appointed stable block with a field behind and a training area at the front.  These could be used as storage space or converted to provide more accommodation if you preferred. You also get around sixty mature olive trees in the extensive grounds, totalling 9,718m2.  The property has its own water supply from a well and also has solar panels and there is ample parking.

With a little updating and modernisation, this would make either a perfect country home or business for those looking for peace and quiet in the countryside, but with all the amenities such as supermarkets, bars shops and restaurants, just a short drive away.

The town of Martos is located on a western peak of the Sierra Jabalcuz mountain range. It belongs to the metropolitan Area of Jaén, which is considered to be the second most important city after the capital.  The closest airport is Granada which is around 50 minutes away or the larger airport of Malaga is around 1 hour 3/4. Martos is considered to be the greatest producer of olive oil in Spain. The town is situated beneath the Cerro de la Peña, topped with the ruins of the castle of the same name. This compact town spreads out over the slopes of the hill, under the Castle of La Villa and the Church of Santa Marí­a.  Its privileged location offers beautiful views over a vast sea of olive trees.  There is a large outdoor market held weekly near the park and several fiestas' throughout the year.  There is a large outdoor municiple pool open in the summer and an indoor pool open all year round.  This is the perfect town for those wishing to experience the true Spanish lifestyle.
