The Setting

Positioned on the gentle terraplén of the Empordà landscape, the property faces rolling hills, wooded areas, and a scattering of medieval villages and historic masías. Its location offers tranquility while remaining close to both Girona and the Costa Brava. The farmhouse sits behind its walled garden and agricultural annexes, creating a private and enclosed estate with significant historic character.

The Tour

Ground Floor

The main structure follows the traditional Catalan farmhouse layout. The ground floor contains the original agricultural facilities, including an oil production room and a wine cellar with ancient underground ceramic vessels used historically for storage and fermentation. These spaces hold exceptional ethnographic value.

Adjacent structures include former livestock pens, a barn, and a hayloft. These annexes offer the potential to be restored as independent living spaces or studios.

First Floor

The first floor was designed as the primary living space. A spacious central hall leads to the main kitchen, which features an exceptional historic fireplace and access to two terraces. This level also includes a dining room, an auxiliary kitchen, and five generous rooms with architecturally significant ceilings.

Second Floor

Originally used for food storage, the second floor was modernized and converted into housing. It includes a large central hall, two bedrooms, a study or library, two bathrooms, and a covered south facing gallery. This level offers abundant natural light and expansive views of the surrounding countryside.

The Practical Details

The estate has been inhabited and maintained across centuries, with various restorations carried out over time. It is currently occupied, but it requires significant renovation and modernization to reach its full potential.
Water and electricity are connected to the municipal network. Heating systems and interior infrastructure will require updates as part of the renovation work.

The Land

The property sits on a 2638 square meter plot that includes a 1700 square meter enclosed garden. The garden is surrounded by historic stone walls and features multiple terraces that rise gently along the slope. Several agricultural annexes border the garden, including former livestock pens, a barn, and a hayloft.

These structures offer additional possibilities for restoration or expansion.
The outdoor spaces are ideal for creating shaded seating areas, orchards, Mediterranean landscaping, or a fully developed rural garden.
