Everything you need to know about this country house for sale

Amid the gentle rolling landscapes that shape the natural triangle between La Garrotxa, El Pla de l’Estany and Alt Empordà, stands this 19th-century Catalan farmhouse, lovingly restored with exquisite care and deep respect for its original essence. Surrounded by farmland, woods, and open horizons, this property exudes serenity, authenticity, and that discreet beauty only places with true soul possess.

With approximately 390 m² of built area, the property preserves the timeless character of traditional Catalan masias: thick stone walls, wooden beam ceilings, and rooms filled with natural light. Its renovation has perfectly blended rustic charm with modern comfort, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages a slower, more peaceful way of life.

On the ground floor, a functional kitchen and dining area open to a large living room with a fireplace, which in turn leads to a covered porch—an ideal spot for al fresco dining or quiet afternoons overlooking the garden. The upper floors host several bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and lovely views of the surrounding countryside. On the top floor, a large, open, and luminous room offers endless possibilities: a reading lounge, a studio, or a shared family space.

The outdoor spaces are, without doubt, one of the property’s greatest treasures. The main garden, blends seamlessly with the natural landscape and leads to a swimming pool that invites relaxation and refreshment during the warmer months. Beyond, the 4.2 hectares of arable land stretch across gentle slopes—ideal for agricultural, horses or ecological/rural tourism projects, or simply for enjoying the privilege of living immersed in nature.

The property is equipped with natural gas heating, mains electricity and water, and has easy access from the main road. Located in Maia de Montcal, at the heart of this privileged triangle between La Garrotxa, El Pla de l’Estany and Alt Empordà, the masia enjoys the tranquility of the countryside while remaining close to charming villages, essential services, and excellent transport connections. Just 20 minutes from Olot and Figueres, and less than an hour from the Costa Brava, it offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and comfort.

More than a house, this property is a refuge with soul—a place where the days flow to the rhythm of birdsong, where each sunset paints the horizon in gold, and where the essence of rural Catalan life remains alive, waiting for someone to write the next chapter of its story.
