luxury house for sale Sant Joan de les Abadesses, 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.
