This immaculately restored masia is located in a lovely countryside setting just 10-minutes (8km) from the centre of Girona city.
The property, parts of which date from the 17th Century, offers an impressive 1250m2 of living space. 800m2 of this has been fully restored, 400m2 is still to be restored. The property boasts a total of 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
The house is set in 4.5 hectares of private land, part of which forms a large lawn garden with swimming pool, part of which is set to pasture and the rest is woodland. The property also offers a beautiful walled courtyard, ideal for al fresco dining and for entertaining large numbers of people.
The house is built across three levels and a key feature of the property is the impressive size of the living areas, particularly the bedrooms. The restoration works have fully respected the original architecture of the property and the house still boasts a host of original features, including handmade terracotta floor tiles, beautiful Catalan vaulted ceilings, the original bread oven and lovely stone arches.
The property is on mains electricity and the water is provided by 2 private wells. The house has central heating throughout.
The house would make a wonderful family home and could easily be split into two of three independent dwellings. Given the property's proximity to Girona city it would also make an attractive commercial venture, such as a guesthouse or a boutique hotel. The fact that there are still around 400m2 to be restored also makes it an interesting investment opportunity.
The property comprises the following:
Ground floor: Large entrance hall / reception area; fully fitted kitchen with open fireplace, breakfast dining area and access to two outdoor terraces; dining room (seating for 12) with vaulted ceilings and original olive press; living room with striking double height ceiling and fireplace; reading room area housing the original bread oven; utility room; cloakroom with shower; large en-suite bedroom; master-bedroom with beautiful en-suite bathroom (with large walk-in shower and freestanding bath) and adjoining children's bedroom.
First floor: Large en-suite double bedroom; Two spacious adjoining bedrooms (capacity for 5-6 beds) with en-suite bathroom (including double shower units); Three further double bedrooms; Large family bathroom
Lower ground floor: To be restored
Exterior: Large lawn garden with swimming pool (totally fenced); huge walled courtyard with two-storey barn to be restored (the ground floor currently provides a lovely covered dining and BBQ area); approximately 4 additional hectares of land
The River Ter is just a minute's walk from the bottom of the garden (fishing is possible) and the open countryside provides ample opportunities for long walks and cycle rides.
This is one of the most beautifully restored properties that we have seen in the Girona area. The restoration works took five years to complete and the attention to detail is exceptional. The location is also unique - just 8km to the north of Girona city centre, 35km from the beaches of the Costa Brava and 20km from Girona airport. The nearest ski slopes of the Pyrenees are just 60km away, Barcelona is 110km away and Perpignan airport only 90km away.
The property offers a host of possibilities, either as a private residence, a commercial venture or an investment opportunity and must be seen.
