Townhouse for sale in Sant Mateu, Castellón

For sale, small palatial house – manor house in San Mateo (Castellón)

This impressive manor house type palatial house in the center of the historical town of San Mateo.
San Mateo (Castellón) is a small medieval town with a rich history dating back to Roman times.
About 30 km from Morella, about 30 km from Vinaròs, Benicarló, or Peñíscola, around 20 km from the "Panorámica Golf Resort" golf course in Sant Jordi and close to the natural park of "Tinença de Benifassà."
The house, which dates back to the 15th century in its origins, still retains its rustic and stately style today. It has been practically maintained in its original state or renovated with suitable materials. Except for the kitchens and bathrooms, which have been adapted to current needs.
It has a total built area of about 721 m² distributed over several levels in different rooms, halls, and living areas.
Access to the house is through the large hall that leads on one side to an interior dining living room, and on the other side to the "summer" dining kitchen with its adjoining wine cellar/pantry.
The first floor is divided into a living room with an interior window to the entrance hall and the second kitchen with a "winter" dining area with its wood stove. From here, you access several rooms, currently without a special designation but all decorated with many field or hunting utensils. There is also an interior patio, still with a well. Accessible via various stairs, one reaches the immense attic from where one can observe the still excellent condition of the roof.
Through another room, you access the library, and by going up another level, you arrive at a large central room and two bedrooms, one with its alcove and exit to a large upper terrace type solarium, partly covered.
On the other side, there are two more bedrooms and two complete and modern bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other with a shower.
Adjoining the main house are the old stables and the old olive oil press, accessible directly from the street but also from the house. It is currently used as a garage, workshop, or storeroom. There is also a large barbecue here.
The good condition of the house, its details of the interior construction finishes, and all the decoration it has should be highlighted. Very few houses have this.
It would be an ideal house to live in all year round or to dedicate it to high quality rural tourism due to its highly representative character. Its location in the center of the village, close to beaches, golf, Morella, and especially the beautiful landscape of the "Tinença de Benifassà" would be ideal for this use. It has tremendous potential.
Optional and separate from this house, a rural property of about 27,400 m² is also for sale, located on the outskirts of San Mateo, heading towards La Salzadella. This estate has very good access, is well maintained, and houses about 300 olive trees and around 150 almond trees, in full production. Its price is €35,000.00.
