Newly renovated country property in a spectacular location near to Girona.
This exceptional masia in the Baix Emporda, is within the beautiful Gavarres Nature Reserve, just 20 minutes from the medieval city of Girona and its international airport, and 20 minutes from the coast at Sant Feliu de Guixols. It has been lovingly restored in the traditional Catalan style by its Anglo Catalan owners and the result is one of the better country properties currently on the market in the area.
The house was a featured property in 'Casa y Campo' magazine in January 2008.
The house was remodelled as a smart country residence in the early 1800’s, with large picture windows and French doors and high ceilings. This result is light airy rooms and a house with lots of natural light, unlike many other masias of the same period. The property is set in the centre of 25 hectares of land. The position of the house means that it has far reaching views across the magnificent wooded countryside and on to the coast.
The property is easily accessed from the main road and a sweeping drive leads to the front of the house. The house has approximately 800 square metres of living space - a total of 4 reception rooms, 7 double bedrooms, 6 being en suite, and a 2 bedroom caretaker's apartment. To the rear of the property there is an impressive covered terrace with Catalan arches and, on the floor above, a further terrace that runs the length of the entire east wing and makes the most of the fabulous views. Along with the other exterior areas there is a huge amount of space for al fresco dining and lounging.
The distribution of the property is excellent and the large reception rooms run into each other. There is a generously proportioned kitchen with a dining area and an adjoining sitting room. Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms are of a good-size, there are spacious hallways separating them, and some rooms open out onto the terrace.
The property would be ideal for holiday rentals and would also make a fabulous boutique hotel, with ample space for a small restaurant if required. The owners of the property would be happy to assist with further changes to the property if required for a specific use.
To the side of the house there is the excellent swimming pool complex which has a stunning infinity pool situated to maximise the views onto the coast. There is a traditional Catalan style building containing a kitchen area and grill / barbecue and there is also a shower and w.c.
To the south of the house there are two large paved garden terraces facing due south which have been planted with mature fruit trees and flower borders, each level also has a small pond with fountain. This is a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the setting of the sun. The remainder of the 25 hectares are set to pasture and wood, with many trees typical to the region, it is a wonderful area in which to walk and enjoy the tranquility of this secluded property.
The property has mains electricity, telephone line and its own drilled well which provides an average 15,000 litres of water per hour. There is very good access from the main road and the small town of Cassa de la Selva, 5km away offers all amenities including banks, supermarkets, pharmacies and a medical centre.
The Gavarrres Nature Reserve has an abundance of flora and fauna and is a haven for all types of outdoor pursuits, with walking, climbing. The area is a cyclist’s paradise with quiet good quality winding country roads that are almost always free of traffic and fantastic mountain biking. The coast at St Feliu has some of the best beaches on the Costa Brava and beautiful costal walks. The area is renowned for its cuisine and you can eat extremely well, even in small local restaurants.
This is a fantastic property in a great location.
