We are delighted to offer, exclusively to Sotheby’s Inland Costa Brava, this unique country house based in the sought after Baix Emporda.
This ancient country house is a most attractive typical home of its historic time, dating back to the 17th Century. The rooms are well proportioned and much architectural detail remains including the Catalan vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, as well as the old mangers in the parts which once housed the animals. The house is situated in easy to manage, well-tended gardens with an extra building which formerly houses agricultural equipment. It is approached by a country path, away from any busy roads yet certainly not isolated. It benefits from spectacular views across the countryside and even a view of the sea and Medes Islands on the Costa Brava, on the horizon.
A substantial and attractive stone property under offering spacious accommodation over three floors comprising two formal reception rooms, kitchen/dining room and study with seven double bedrooms, five of these en suite and two sharing a bathroom.
The front door opens to the original stone floored entrance hall On the ground floor there are several areas, a utility area, games room, bedroom with bathroom, a salon and a room currently used as a gym. Up the stairs to the first floor, we are welcomed by a fabulous living area, made up of high ceilings and superb views across the countryside. From here, there is another more private salon/reading room which in turn leads to the large and roomy country kitchen. From here we have a balcony, partially covered and is bound to be the most used space with room for barbecue and enjoying a relaxing view.
There are four bedrooms on this level, one private suite and two further bedrooms en suite.
An ancient staircase ascends to the second floor, where we find two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
This property is ready to move in to, in excellent condition with many architectural details and decorated in a manner maintaining the essence of a genuine masia, country home.
The property benefits from mains water, diesel/gasoil central heating and due to its ancient design, it is well prepared for Winter and Summer.
A fine example of a medieval Country House with spectacular views in an enviable position, lying near a picturesque village in the Emporda; a charming family home with splendid period features.
