This beautifully restored masía is located in a peaceful spot 3km outside the historic town of Besalú - about 16km northwest of Banyoles and a further 20km from the city of Girona.

Situated on a large plot of around 4.5 hectares in the Garrotxa region, the masía is constructed over two floors with a total surface area of 360m2.

The property retains many original features including exposed stone brickwork, wooden beams and vaulted ceilings.

The ground floor of the masía has an entrance hall, two reception rooms, a good sized kitchen with modern fittings, a utility room and boiler room. Three additional, smaller rooms each boast original vaulted ceilings.

A further reception room with fireplace is located on the second floor, as well as a bar, 4 double bedrooms - including one master-suite with dressing room - and two further bathrooms. A second floor terrace enjoys beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and across the stunning Parc Natural de la Garrotxa – a perfect place for rambling, horse riding and mountain biking amongst the region’s dormant volcanoes. Located alongside the property is a recently restored two-storey barn. This could be converted into a separate apartment, artist's studio or office.

Works on a 10m x 4m swimming pool were completed in Spring 2009.

Besalú is a beautiful historic town, well known for its Roman 11th century, L-shaped pedestrian toll bridge and its warren of ancient streets and alleyways. The town was declared a site of national historical interest in 1966 and most of what survives dates from the 10th – 12th centuries.
