Stone House With Expansive Gardens
15 Minutes From the Costa Brava
In the heart of a small village known for its architectural beauty, this home sits quietly with its south facing stone facade and expansive land stretching behind it. Set slightly back from the main road, the property opens into terraces, shaded corners, and a garden that climbs the slope of the hill. The village itself is peaceful, yet larger towns with shops, markets, restaurants, and services are just ten minutes away.
A slow life without isolation.

The Setting
In the center of a small historic village known for its architectural richness, this stone home faces south and sits slightly back from the main road. Behind the house, the land rises gently up the hillside, creating multiple garden levels with mature trees, shaded corners, and quiet places to sit.
The village is peaceful and timeless, yet everything you need is just a short drive away. Larger towns with shops, markets, medical services, and restaurants are ten minutes from the property. The Mediterranean is fifteen minutes away, close enough to feel the pull of the coast while still enjoying the calm of rural living.
The Tour
Ground Floor
The ground floor retains its original character. Stone vaulted ceilings, former animal rooms, and authentic rural architecture give this level a rustic, untouched charm. With an independent entrance, it offers exceptional potential to be restored as a guest apartment or studio. The old interior staircase is no longer in use.
First Floor
Access to the main residence begins here. An entrance hall and staircase lead to the upper floor. This level includes:
• a kitchen
• a spacious dining room with balcony
• a living room with access to the terrace
• five bedrooms
• two bathrooms
• one additional toilet
This part of the home was renovated about thirty years ago and remains in solid condition, though it benefits from modern updates.
Second Floor
Two large rooms with high ceilings, currently used for storage, offer another opportunity to expand the living area. They could become studios, additional bedrooms, or a generous master suite.
The Practical Details
The property has electricity and municipal water. Heating is provided through a wood stove that warms the radiators.
The structure is solid and the garden offers endless potential for outdoor living, landscape projects, terraces, or orchards.
The Area
Vilopriu is one of the quiet gems of Baix Empordà, surrounded by medieval villages, rolling countryside, and quick routes to the Costa Brava. The area is known for its stone architecture, vineyards, cycling routes, and gentle landscapes.
A perfect balance of countryside calm and coastal proximity.
