A meticulously restored 15th-century farmhouse in the heart of rural Catalonia has captured the essence of Spain's countryside tranquility while seamlessly integrating contemporary refinements. Located in the protected Gavarres massif, a stunning landscape of rolling forested hills south of Girona, this historic property demonstrates how centuries-old architecture can be thoughtfully preserved while meeting modern living standards.
The impressive estate spans 5.2 hectares near the charming village of Quart, with the main residence covering 1,152 square meters surrounded by picturesque olive groves and ancient stone terraces. The property's thick masonry walls and distinctive vaulted ceilings serve as enduring testaments to centuries of traditional Catalan craftsmanship and architectural heritage. Currently listed on the market through Masvell House, this exceptional property is priced at 3.4 million euros.
The main residence, encompassing 689 square meters, welcomes visitors through an elegant arched doorway that opens into a series of light-filled rooms featuring a sophisticated blend of natural stone and polished concrete finishes. Beautiful oak floors guide guests upstairs to an expansive open-plan living and dining area, which is anchored by a custom-designed kitchen and enhanced by south-facing windows that perfectly frame the breathtaking views of the surrounding massif.
The property's accommodation is both generous and thoughtfully designed, featuring seven en suite bedrooms distributed across the upper floors of the main house. Additionally, a separate ground-floor apartment provides three more bedrooms and offers direct access to the pool terrace, making it ideal for guests or extended family members. This configuration ensures both privacy and connectivity throughout the estate.
The outdoor spaces have been carefully landscaped to complement the property's natural setting, with manicured gardens and an organic orchard that seamlessly connect the home to its rural environment. A beautiful walled terrace serves as a central hub, linking the main house and guest quarters to the swimming pool area. The property also features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen specifically designed to accommodate the long, leisurely summers characteristic of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Modern sustainability features have been thoughtfully integrated into the restoration without compromising the property's historic character. Solar panels provide renewable energy, while underfloor heating ensures comfort throughout the cooler months. A private well supplies the estate with its own water source, completing a renovation that successfully balances environmental responsibility with luxury living in one of Catalonia's most serene and protected landscapes.
