Townhouse for sale in Illora, Granada

Detached property with a large garden and barn within a town, about 30 minutes from Granada city.

Built in 1880, with a plot size of approx. 1,800 m². Enormous business potential: it may be possible to split the house into several self-contained apartments, convert the barn into accommodation, and create a lovely garden. In-person viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scale and possibilities.

The property lends itself to becoming a retreat centre, B&B, or holiday apartment rentals plus a restaurant/bar. It needs updating.

Layout: the first floor starts with a hallway with two bedrooms off and a shower room. A door leads to an open-plan sitting room with an open fireplace and room for a dining table, then through to a kitchen that needs modernising. There is a summer room with views towards the Sierra Nevada, plus stairs leading down to the garden.

There is a staircase off the sitting room that leads down to a large room with original tiling and two rooms off. A double door (which could be closed off) leads to another hallway with an apartment consisting of a large open-plan kitchen/sitting room, a family bathroom and a bedroom. This apartment has its own street-side entrance, a door to the garden, and a terrace with Sierra Nevada views.

From the garden side, on the very top floor, there is a small terrace with amazing views. There is a room ideal for storage and then five further rooms, perfect for an independent apartment.

Two large basement areas directly off the garden: both have wood-beamed ceilings and could be used as accommodation or a gym, chill-out area, restaurant, bar, yoga studio, etc.

Outside: the large garden includes a pool for reform, an extensive open-fronted barn, an area that could be made into a shower block, and a restored chimney. At the rear of the garden there is a very large barn with potential to be a complete house, a couple of apartments, a restaurant, or more. The garden has some fruit trees, almond and olive trees, cypress trees, roses, daffodils, and is fully walled.

The property needs some investment to make the most of its potential, but it could be a fantastic business proposition for the right person.
