2371 Large Country Home with Pool, Guest Accommodation & 15-Room Annexe

Set just a few minutes from historic Úbeda, this private country property combines a generous five-bedroom family home with a fully separate 15-bedroom guest building, making it ideal for anyone looking to establish a Bed & Breakfast or retreat /activity centre, while enjoying their own independent space. Surrounded by olive groves and open countryside, the property feels wonderfully peaceful, yet has direct roadside access and excellent links to town and the wider region.

The Main House

The primary residence centres around an enclosed Andalusian patio where mature trees create pockets of shade and the swimming pool sits as the heart of the home. Several rooms—both lounges, the kitchen, dining area, and a smaller sitting room—open directly to this patio, giving the house an easy indoor–outdoor rhythm perfect for long summers.

Inside, the entrance hall is spacious, with two guest toilets tucked discreetly away at the end. A traditional staircase with wooden risers leads to the first floor, where all five bedrooms are located. Some of these rooms retain their original hydraulic tiles, adding colour and character. Pellet stoves in the main living areas bring warmth and charm in winter, while new double-glazed windows in most of the building keep the interiors comfortable all year.

The kitchen is large and bright, designed with generous prep space and good natural flow into the dining and living areas. There is a second, smaller kitchen as well—useful when entertaining or running a guest-focused business. A further lounge provides a quieter corner of the house, ideal as a reading room or winter sitting room.

A separate staircase leads to another wing of the upper level where you find a double bedroom/office opening onto a roof terrace. Beyond this is a yoga or dance studio with a full mirror wall. Behind this wall there were previously two toilets, and the plumbing remains in place should you wish to reinstate them. 

This upper space is perfect for remote work, classes, workshops, or simply an independent creative zone away from the main living areas.

The Second Building

Reached via an external staircase, the first floor of the second building contains 15 large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and built-in wardrobe. The rooms enjoy natural light and look out either to the gardens or to the hills beyond. Two very large lounges—one at each end of the building—provide flexible communal areas. The bedrooms would benefit from updating, but all essential services are already connected, making refurbishment straightforward.

The ground floor of this building is currently undeveloped, but houses an artist’s workshop and a carpenter’s workshop with machinery. There is ample additional space for storage or future conversion depending on your plans.

Also within the grounds is a small one-bedroom apartment accessed from the garden. It requires renovation but would be useful accommodation for on-site staff, a caretaker, or visiting artists.

Land, Gardens & Utilities

The land is planted mainly with olives arranged in attractive enclosures created with old railway sleepers. There is a vegetable garden, numerous shaded dining spots, and long open views across the landscape. Water is sourced economically from a local irrigators’ community, and mains electricity is connected as back-up to 24 solar panels.

Location

The property sits just outside Úbeda, a UNESCO World Heritage town celebrated for its Renaissance architecture, lively cultural scene, and excellent gastronomy. Shops, services, medical care (including a hospital), and schools are all close by, with affordable taxis for easy door-to-door access.

Lifestyle & Income Potential

With a generously proportioned main house, extensive guest accommodation, workshops, and ample outdoor space, this is a rare opportunity for anyone seeking a lifestyle business. The layout lends itself naturally to a Bed & Breakfast, wellness retreats, artist residencies, or group stays, while still ensuring complete privacy for the owners in their own home.
