This beautiful Catalan masía is set in 4 hectares of land and enjoys an enviable countryside location just 500m from the nearest village and only 12km from Figueres.

Originally an olive farm dating from the 17th Century, the property was subsequently extended in the 18th Century and has been used as a family home in recent years.

The south facing property boasts around 990m2 of living space - including 10 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, a lovely garden with swimming pool, 4 hectares of land (including two large cultivated fields) and annex farm buildings of around 500m2.

The masía boasts many authentic features of a property of its kind, including beautiful vaulted ceilings, handmade ceramic floor tiles, lovely wooden doors, large fireplaces and an original bread oven. Other interesting features include a priest hole - dating from the 18th Century - and an original Trull (Olive press) dating from same period.

The property is set over three floors and the accommodation is distributed as follows:

Ground floor:
Large entrance hallway; living room; dining room; a second, smaller living room with fireplace and adjoining bedroom

Service area including a kitchen / breakfast room, storeroom, bedroom and guest toilet

First floor:
Roman style reception room with vaulted ceilings and four adjoining bedrooms (there is direct access to the front terrace from the reception room and from the master bedroom); kitchen; dressing room; bathroom;

In the older part of the house are four additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large playroom/games room with beautiful beamed ceiling

Second floor:
Lovely loft style living area (with beautiful beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls) comprising a large, central living area; a living room with fireplace; two smaller receptions rooms; a double bedroom and en suite bathroom.



Exterior:
Swimming pool with summer house; rose garden; children's play area; rear parking area; outdoor terrace dining area; 500m2 barn; chicken coop; 4 hectares of land (including 2 large fields currently leased to a local farmer)

The property is perfectly habitable in its current state, though it would benefit from a degree of updating, particularly the older part of the house. If required for all year round living, the buyer may also wish to install a central heating system.

The property has excellent accessibility, being only 12km from Figueres, 45km from Girona Airport, 30km from the beaches of the Costa Brava and just 6km from two motorway exits. The opening of the new high speed rail link in 2009 is likely to cut journey time from Figueres to Barcelona to just 40 minutes.

The ample farmland, large agricultural barn and surrounding countryside would make this an ideal property for someone with horses. The local town of Bàscara, just 4 km away, is well known for its horse fair and horse races (a permanent track is planned).
