Open Views in Albons

The Setting

The villa sits just steps from the center of Albons, accessible via a paved road that leads directly to the nearby beaches. In front of the house is the town, complete with a restaurant, medical center, convenience shop, and social club. Behind the house lie open fields and countryside views that stretch across the landscape. The land is ideal for crops, horses, or other rural uses.
The property enjoys a privileged position as the final urban building before the countryside begins.

The Tour

Ground Floor

Entry is through a large wooden door into a spacious central hall and the main staircase. This level encompasses approximately 400 square meters that currently function as warehouse space. The area is prepared with windows and doors to be converted into a residential floor, featuring stone walls and high vaulted ceilings.
On the northern side, a second access leads to an annex structure with two levels and a secondary staircase that connects to the main volume.

First Floor

The first floor serves as the main residence. Reached via the staircase in the central hall, this level includes four large bedrooms that are spacious enough to be converted into suites, a single bathroom, a living room with fireplace on the south side, and a dining room, kitchen, and pantry on the north side.
A second staircase on this level links directly to the annex.
The east facade features a long, sunlit terrace that extends across the length of the house.

Second Floor

The upper level consists of two open plan rooms that can be transformed into an independent apartment or additional accommodation for the main residence. High ceilings and large volumes make this level especially versatile.

The Practical Details

The structure of the villa is generally in good condition except for several beams that require attention. The first floor is fully habitable, while the ground and second floors need comprehensive renovation to reach their full potential.
The property has mains electricity and drinking water from a private well.
There is currently no sanitation system connected, but its proximity to town makes connection straightforward when desired.

The Land

The property sits on 2.14 hectares of land, divided between a 1,000 square meter garden surrounding the villa and two hectares of open fields extending behind it. The fields are flat, usable, and ideal for crops, horses, orchards, or landscape development. The garden area includes mature trees and open space that can be shaped into terraces, outdoor seating areas, or a pool zone.

Because the villa sits at the edge of the urban boundary, the land benefits from easy access to town while offering uninterrupted rural views across Empordà farmland.

The Area

The house is located in Albons, a peaceful village in the Baix Empordà region known for its medieval architecture, quiet streets, and easy access to both countryside and coast. A paved road leads directly from the property to the beaches of l'Escala, reachable in five minutes.

Baix Empordà is one of Catalonia’s most sought after regions, valued for its rolling fields, small historic villages, gastronomy, cycling routes, and proximity to cultural destinations. Figueres and its high speed train station are thirty minutes away, providing rapid connection to Barcelona. Girona, with its historic center and services, is within a similar distance.

This location offers the rare combination of village convenience, rural land, and coastal proximity.
