SALE AGREED.
What an amazing property, so much potential with this to create a local bed and breakfast, with the added possibility of a ground floor bar / restaurant too if you wanted. The entire ground floor is open plan as this used to be the bakery - the oven is still in place and could be a great feature. The property also has a garage plus the possibility of creating a ground floor apartment for the owners or manager. Out the back is a great terrace with storeroom plus a plunge pool. Steps take you to the basement area which could be great to create a wet room. From the ground floor there is access to another self contained area with sitting room,dining room and kitchen. The staircase to the upper floors is very impressive with 7 more bedrooms, sitting rooms and potential bathrooms allocated on the 1st and 2nd floor. There are also two more outside terraces. There is just one bathroom on the ground floor but there are plenty of rooms to install several more on the other floors.
This is the sort of property that has to be viewed to appreciate what it offers, photos do not do this justice as It has some lovely antique features. The location is ideal with street parking outside and within walking distance of the town square with indoor market and many bars etc, plus the famous church at the top of the town is just a short walk too.  Martos attracts visitors and tourists from all over the world and a new tourism information centre has opened on Plaza Fuente Nueve. The property needs updating and modernising but once completed, this could be a fabulous family home or business opportunity.
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 fiesta's are held here throughout the year.  A large outdoor swimming pool is open in the summer and an indoor pool is open all year round.  This is the perfect town for those wishing to experience the true Spanish lifestyle.
