The Setting
The masía is nestled in one of the quietest and most beautiful locations in La Garrotxa, surrounded by wooded hills, open meadows, and uninterrupted mountain views. Its elevated position faces the Rocacorba massif, giving the house long vistas and an atmosphere of complete seclusion. Despite the privacy, the nearest town is only five minutes away, and Banyoles is fifteen minutes by car.
The setting is defined by calm, nature, and the soft sound of the river that borders part of the land. It feels like a retreat deep in the countryside while remaining close to everyday services.
The Tour
Main Level
A well distributed layout creates a bright and welcoming living space. The central living room connects to two bedrooms:
• a south facing master suite with two balconies and a small walk in closet
• a second bedroom with a floor to ceiling window overlooking the garden
The kitchen faces east with floor to ceiling glazing, filling the space with morning light. It includes a casual dining area and a separate pantry.
Large windows throughout this level frame continuous views of the mountains and surrounding land.
Ground Floor
Two additional rooms with independent entrances add versatility.
• One room is a guest en suite bedroom
• The other is a former stable currently used for storage, including a sauna, and overlooking the barbecue area
This level can be developed into extra accommodation, a studio, or a wellness space.
Outdoor Spaces
The exterior includes:
• a large terrace, formerly a threshing floor
• a shaded area beside the kitchen
• a spacious covered terrace with barbecue
• a greenhouse
• river access and forested walking paths
These outdoor areas offer multiple settings for dining, relaxation, gardening, and enjoying the landscape.
The Practical Details
The home features a laundry room, double glazed windows, and a generator for electricity. Heating is provided by several woodburning stoves and an open fireplace.
Water is sourced through a rainwater collection system. Upgrading the solar panels and adding a well would significantly improve suitability for year round living.
The property has been renovated in stages over the past thirty years and remains in good condition.
The Land
The masía sits on 6.27 hectares of land that includes forest, river access, meadows, and terraced outdoor spaces. The elevated position provides long views over the surrounding mountains, including the Rocacorba massif. The land is ideal for walking trails, garden development, regenerative agriculture, or a small project involving nature based tourism or wellness.
Its secluded position ensures complete privacy while remaining close to amenities.
The Area

Mieres is positioned between Banyoles and the foothills of the Pyrenees, offering access to lakes, rivers, hiking routes, and the region’s most scenic mountain viewpoints.
A peaceful and highly sought after area for those wanting space, nature, and an authentic countryside lifestyle.
