This lovely, historical property, located in the town of Martos, in the Jaén province of Andalucia, is a project just waiting for the right owner to bring it back to life and restore it to its former glory.  This is a house full of potential and promise and could be a great investment opportunity in the right hands.

Currently, the property offers 8 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, but is a blank canvas that could be reconfigured to best suit the needs of its new owner.  The front pitch of the roof has been renewed, but it does require a lot of further work to be carried out, including immediate work to make it waterproof and liveable, but once finished, this would be a really special property.  The house retains a lot of original features and is in a great location next to a beautiful church with plenty of parking outside.  At the rear is a large patio and garden area with views over Martos and the countryside beyond.  The property is only a 5-minute walk away from shops, bars and the local indoor market. It is also close to El Mirador, El Torre de Homenaje, and the remains of Castillo de la Villa.  The house would work well as a large family home, small hotel, B&B or separated into apartments and is just waiting for someone with the right passion and vision to complete this fascinating project and create their dream property.

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 municipal 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.
