Maa osta in Hoyos, Extremadura

Built circa 1840, this magnificent olive mill fell into disuse and awaits restoration for residential or business purposes. Located just 2 minutes by car from the picturesque village of Hoyos, this spectacular walled estate covers two thirds of an acre with the ruins of the mill and the ancillary buildings. Every time I go there, I envisage the ground floor of the main building transformed into a reception area and bar and, on the first floor, a luxury restaurant with an enormous window facing northeast towards the mountains and the “Torre de la Almenara” watchtower in the distance. There are already successful three hotels in the area built on the remains of former mills and this part of Spain attracts a great number of visitors all year round. The perfect investment for someone wanting to embark on a life-changing project in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
