luxury architect villas for sale El Masnou, Spain

Some properties are bought based on square footage, number of rooms, or location. Then there are those bought for what they represent. In La Floresta, within the Sant Cugat del Vallès area and next to the Torre Negra sector, stands a listed Modernist building, constructed in 1905 and associated with the architect Eduard M. Balcells i Buïgas. It's a property with history, architectural character, and a presence rarely found on the market today. This estate isn't for those who want to move in without changing a thing. It's for those who understand the value of restoring a unique property, preserving its essence, and transforming it into a heritage residence near Barcelona, offering space, privacy, and a distinct identity. The house sits on a large 7,029 m2 plot, a space that allows for ample outdoor space, privacy, and a direct connection with the natural surroundings. The garden, with its fountain, pond, and well, connects to the Torre Negra Rural Park, an area of high scenic and forest value, perfect for those who want to live close to nature without sacrificing access to Sant Cugat and Barcelona. Inside, the house retains elements that tell its story: Modernist windows, artistic ironwork, ornate railings, majolica tiles, and a turret offering panoramic views over the Vallès region. These are not mere decorative details; they are part of the value of a property that calls for thoughtful restoration. The layout offers several rooms suitable for a large main residence, with living areas, exterior bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, dining rooms, and living rooms, as well as an open-plan upper floor with sloping ceilings that allows for new uses to be planned according to the needs of the buyer.
