Finca/Country House for sale in L'Ametlla de Mar, Tarragona

Mas Mimosa — Fully off-grid finca with 200 producing olive trees, L’Ametlla de Mar, Catalonia — €450,000

A rare opportunity to acquire a complete, turnkey, 100% off-grid finca in the Plain of the Laurel, 15 minutes from L’Ametlla de Mar, 15 minutes from the AP-7 motorway, and 15 minutes from the finest wild coves of the Costa Daurada. Six years of meticulous renovation have transformed this 3-hectare property into a self-sufficient home where nothing is left for you to figure out.

The main house (built 2000, fully renovated 2022-2026)

80 m² of living space on two floors: four bedrooms, a large open living-kitchen, a sheltered porch, and a vast terrace opening onto the olive grove with uninterrupted views of the mountains on the horizon. A further 40 m² of annexes house storage, laundry and garage. The bathroom features a shower, bathtub, bidet, and a closed dry toilet (standard toilet also possible). Two high-end air conditioning units (one per floor) run on the solar system for 24 hours without any backup, even in full operation.

Full renovation includes upgraded insulation, Ecolabel natural paint (2025), double-glazed PVC frames (2024), and a Danish Aduro high-efficiency wood stove (2025) fuelled free from the annual olive-tree prunings.

The adjoining century-old Catalan mas, with 25 m² guest studio

Directly attached to the modern house, the traditional stone mas is over 100 years old and has been restored in strict respect of traditional Catalan mas building techniques: exposed stone walls, canya catalane reed ceilings, natural lime render, solid wood. Only natural, healthy, breathable materials. Inside, an independent 25 m² studio with its own entrance and private terrace, perfect for family, guests, or a short-term rental activity (connections ready for a full kitchen fit-out).

100% off the grid, no compromise

Latest-generation Victron EasySolar GX solar installation with 4 days of battery autonomy without sun (24h even with both AC units running). 39 m³ of rainwater storage (15 m³ main cistern plus 24 m³ additional tank), filtered three times by a modern system before reaching the house. 300 m² of water collection surface (150 m² roof plus 150 m² elevated circular slab for optimal capture). Compliant on-site septic tank. No bills. No grid connection. No vulnerability to grid failures.

The land: almost 3 hectares in agroecology, zero pesticides

+200 mature olive trees in full production, yielding 100 to 400 litres of organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil every year. 40 carob trees, 10 almond and fig trees, 20 young fruit trees, native ornamental plants. 200 m² permaculture kitchen garden on home-made terra preta (certified-organic manure from the finca’s donkeys plus biochar produced from the olive-tree prunings), irrigation connections ready. 150 m² chicken coop. Century-old wood-fired oven, patiently restored in 2026, for baking bread and pizzas the old way. Electric wild-boar fencing around the entire 3-hectare plot. Air quality among the best in Europe.

Location

Set on the open Plain of the Laurel, sheltered between two low mountain ranges, in a politically stable region with a mild Mediterranean climate. 15 minutes from L’Ametlla de Mar (voted most beautiful fishing village in Catalonia, with all services, shops, schools, hospital). 15 minutes from the AP-7. 15 minutes from unspoilt wild coves. Barcelona two hours by direct train. Tarragona (UNESCO World Heritage, Roman amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean) 30 minutes away.

For whom

For those ready to slow down, cut the cord from the grid, the supermarket and the rat race, and (re)connect with nature and its rhythms. For a family looking for a complete, autonomous base where everything already works. For someone who understands how many years it takes to build such a balance, and would rather inherit it than reinvent it.
