Elegant 12th-Century Country Estate on 75 Hectares in the Gironès, Just Minutes from the Costa Brava Beaches – ID 1771904

BARNES presents this Magnificent Modernist Country House set on a 108-hectare Estate. This exceptional estate is a true dream come true for lovers of history, architecture and good taste. Originally built in the 12th century, it was transformed in 1910 by a prestigious Barcelona architect, who turned it into a spectacular modernist mansion. The unique details of the façade, the first floor, the floors, the stained glass windows and the garage reflect the splendor of this style, providing a timeless aesthetic. The property consists of the main house, with 1,283 m² of surface area, and a second house of 461.05 m², both connected to form a harmonious whole. In addition, it includes a picturesque 471 m² farmhouse with three bedrooms, a stable and an orchard, ideal for a life in the middle of nature, to develop ecological or tourist projects. The property can obtain a hospitality license. Over the centuries, this impressive residence has served as a family home and as the setting for prestigious events and film productions. Its illustrious visitors include internationally renowned historical and cultural figures such as Ava Gardner, Xavier Cugat, Baltasar Porcel, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Don Juan de Borbón, adding a touch of distinction and legacy to its walls. Each floor of the mansion has a unique identity, with large spaces that invite you to enjoy luxury and elegance at its finest. Many rooms have private terraces and all floors are connected by an internal service staircase that facilitates access between the different areas of the house. Main Floor. The tour begins in the imposing entrance hall, which dates back to the 15th century and maintains the original characteristic arches of Catalan farmhouses. To the left, we find a modernized living room and an elegant office with a valuable collection of antique books. On the other side, there is the dining room and, at the back, the kitchen with its pantry. The floor is completed by the main staircase that leads to the first floor and an intriguing wine cellar, which was originally a medieval prison, something very unusual in properties that were not castles. First Floor: As you climb the stairs, you are revealed with impressive views through the balconies on the first floor. Here you will find the Empire Room, the Piano Room, the Modernist Room and five magnificent suite-style rooms, all connected to each other, creating an atmosphere of luxury and comfort. One of the rooms connects to an adjoining house that has two living rooms, an office, separate kitchen, dining room and bedroom. Second Floor: On the upper floor we find a series of rooms that were formerly occupied by the service staff. A large billiard room stands out, accompanied by small rooms and bathrooms. From here, you can access the highest terrace of the farmhouse, which offers unrivalled views of the estate's forests, and even the sea on clear days. Exterior: The estate has two large patios. The front patio offers various chill-out areas, an old well and direct access to the inner courtyard. The 2,266 m² backyard includes a swimming pool, a beautiful garden with trees and shrubs, and a charming well. It also houses a 153.95 m² modernist garage and an 80.14 m² porch, perfect for enjoying moments outdoors. The property's extensive grounds offer great agricultural and forestry potential, with fields and forests that allow the exploitation of cork, all included in a technical forest management plan.
