"Beautifully renovated off-grid masía, set in over 8 Ha of private land with stunning views and complete privacy – Just 7 km from Banyoles." This unique property offers a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a secluded retreat, whether for touristic use, co-living, or simply a peaceful countryside lifestyle. Comprising 5 independent dwellings along with several outbuildings and stables, this estate is a rare gem.
THE SCENE Nestled in the heart of nature, this rural retreat is perfect for those who crave tranquility in a secluded mountain setting. Yet, it also offers the convenience of being just a 10-minute drive from Banyoles, a charming town with all necessary amenities. The location is strategically unique, with both the beaches of the Costa Brava and the mountains of the Pyrenees accessible within 45 minutes, offering the best of both coastal and mountain living. The property is easily reached by a paved road, followed by a 600-meter gravel track that winds up through the private land to the house.
THE TOUR The main house was carefully renovated in 2006, transforming it into four separate dwellings spread across three floors. Each apartment has its own private entrance and outdoor space—be it a terrace, balcony, or patio—all boasting breathtaking views. The apartments are designed for comfort, with cozy fireplaces or wood-burning stoves in each. One of the ground-floor apartments is also wheelchair accessible.

In addition to the four apartments, the main house also contains two large rooms with independent external access. These rooms are currently used as workshop/storage spaces, but could easily be converted into additional guest bedrooms or an office/studio.
The main building also includes a large machinery and storage room.
A separate two-storey barn has been beautifully converted into a two-bedroom house, complete with a private garden in front, offering additional accommodation or potential rental space.
The property also includes three other outbuildings, originally used for housing horses and various animals.
PRACTICAL DETAILS This off-grid estate is almost entirely self-sustaining, equipped with solar panels and a brand-new lithium battery system. The property also features central heating, powered by either a pellet or firewood furnace, ensuring comfort year-round with minimal reliance on external resources.
This property presents an ideal opportunity for those seeking a self-sufficient, peaceful haven in nature, while still being close to modern conveniences. With its versatility, whether for personal use or as a touristic or co-living investment, it offers boundless potential.
