luxury furnished house for sale Vallfogona de Ripollès, Spain

Built in the late 1980s by two university researchers with the vision of creating a space that blends landscape and silence to provide comfort, this country house stands as a peaceful refuge between Sant Joan de les Abadesses and Olot, just 4 km from the city centre. Its location in a discreet and secluded, but not lonely, setting, on the way up from a forest track, offers panoramic views surrounded by meadows and woods, immersing its residents in an environment of silence and tranquillity. This house of 495 m² is built on a plot of 6 hectares, of which 1000 m² correspond to the well-tended garden, with roses that are more than 30 years old. The house is linked to a basement which completes the function of a storage room and protects against humidity, ensuring optimum ventilation. Distributed over three floors, it is built with high quality materials and every detail has been carefully considered. Currently, it has 4 bedrooms for 8 people, 3 complete bathrooms, a large living-dining room on the ground floor, a library on the first floor and a large meeting room with a small room for meditation on the second floor, as well as an armoured area for a picnic room and other security features, including a sofa bed with a bedside table if necessary. The price also includes all its furniture and electrical appliances, so it is ready to move into. Situated in a quiet environment, surrounded by mountains and crossed by a small river, this place offers a peaceful experience close to nature. It is strategically located near the Ruta del Ferro, with views of the majestic Canigó and Pedraforca, 1 hour from the Costa Brava and 35 minutes from the ski slopes. Ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, archery and horse riding. The facilities are designed to meet the needs of a demanding public, whether they are companies looking for indoor or outdoor training activities, or individuals who enjoy the peace and quiet and the possibilities offered by this space. With 60,000 m² of rustic land, there is ample flexibility to create various multi-purpose areas, from outdoor carpets to activity circuits and areas for horse riding, with trails around the estate. In addition, the property has a licence for tourist use and the possibility of an extension of up to 40% (an additional 200 m²), which makes it an excellent opportunity to develop a commercial activity, and is for sale due to lack of generational relationship and professional transfer of the owners.

A historical masia, a quintessential Catalan farmhouse, emanates an enchanting fusion of rustic allure, profound historical import, and an intrinsic bond with the land. These iconic rural edifices stand as enduring pillars of Catalonia's rich cultural and architectural legacy, bearing witness to centuries of tradition. La Batllia, nestled at the base of the Pyrenees, stands as a remarkable exemplar, a venerable architectural stone-built masterpiece graced with the rare privilege of offering captivating views that extend from the plateau where it sits to the sea. These breathtaking vistas can be enjoyed from its living room, situated at an altitude of 1,040 meters, accompanied by the soothing sound of its natural spring. The 769 sqm property, including a 64sqm guest house, has been renovated in a very authentic way over the years by its current owners, who have a background in history, archaeology, antiques, and interior design. Undoubtedly, their painstaking care to preserve the original personality of this house has made it a unique property, out of the ordinary. The main house offers a total of 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large living room, dining room, kitchen, and other rooms. Parts of the property date back to the 17th century with later additions, such as the 4-storey tower which was built in the 19th century, offering spectacular panoramic views. The guest house is a separate building with an open living space and 1 bathroom, an original bread oven in the stone wall, a beautiful garden and the same spectacular views as the main house but offering guests the privacy to have their own completely independent space. As in most traditional Catalan farmhouses, the animals lived on the ground floor and the family lived upstairs. On the ground floor of La Batllia you can still see the feeding troughs, although perhaps the most surprising feature is a very magnificent gothic arch dating back to the 14th century, a truly unique element of the house that used to be the entrance to the initial house before the enlargements during the 17th century. This part of the house also represents a conversion opportunity with lot of potential for the future owners. The pastures of the 66,000 sqm estate are grazed in spring by local mountain horses and cows in winter and give plenty of corners to sit and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes. The natural woodland and the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, combined with its convenient location just a 10-minute drive from Camprodón, a beautiful medieval village, and a 40-minute drive to the main ski resort, make it an ideal place to enjoy the best of both worlds: the peace and tranquillity of rural mountain living, along with the proximity and lifestyle that come with staying connected to the community. The current owners have lovingly converted the centuries-old Catalan 'La Batllia' into a welcoming home, skilfully blending new elements with the old to preserve its heritage and character for future generations.
