Moorish Town House for sale Albayzin, Granada

Large, 16th Century Moorish townhouse of 480 built m2, with 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, arranged around an authentic, open air, internal courtyard and boasting multiple kitchens, living rooms and roof terraces as well as central heating and a jacuzzi. 

A second sale option includes the newly renovated, neighbouring house (with a door connecting the two properties) of 93 m2 built, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a well-sized patio to enjoy the sunshine and summer nights with loved ones. Both houses are to be sold together at €1.3 million or another possibility is to buy the large Moorish house separately at €1.15 million.

Bought in the 1970s, the main house was basically a Corrala, split into many independent apartments. The house underwent a complete renovation for use as a family home, in the process revealing and maintaining its original wooden beams, marble columns from Sierra Elvira and original cobblestones in the courtyard. On the upper floors the different apartments still remain and a number of options exist. They could be rented out separately, further integrated or could be used as guest / family areas which allow for a great amount of privacy. 

The current layout of the two houses lends itself to use as a tourism business, with the main house being used for guest accommodation while the second house would make very pleasant and completely independent owner accommodation, or could be used as further guest accommodation if preferred. In fact, at one point, the owners ran the main house as a hostel for about 4 years and, in 2008, it was voted best hostel in Granada by Hostelworld. It still has existing licences in place for 8 touristic apartments as well as a licence for a shop on the ground floor, with its own private entrance and street access. It could indeed make a great business investment or a luxury family home.
