Finca/Country House for sale in Girona city, Girona

Splendid farmhouse with over 3 hectares of land, just 5 minutes from Girona. This grand 14th-century farmhouse is historically renowned and included in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. With a total built area of 2107 m2, all the buildings surround the threshing yard, which is protected by an external wall. Amidst gardens and a courtyard paved with large stone slabs, it is a property that makes you feel protected from the outside world. With 15 rooms, lavish halls, and a defense tower, it offers ample space to accommodate many people. Additionally, there are practical livestock enclosures located around the farmhouse, with their backs to the wall. With views of fields, centuries-old trees, and nearby farmhouses, it creates a rural and private atmosphere, remarkable considering its proximity to Girona.

We reach the property from a road frequently used to enter Girona, taking a dirt road flanked by trees and fields on both sides, providing a scenic view until we reach the property. We are greeted by a large wooden gate with ancient cypress trees, a welcoming symbol that used to indicate the inhabitants provided water and food to travelers. Upon passing the entrance, we find ourselves in the farmhouse's courtyard, with livestock enclosures on either side of the entrance, the farmhouse on the right, and the manor house ahead. The property is only 3 km from Girona Cathedral and a 1-hour drive from the center of Barcelona.

We enter through a large arched door, and a terracotta-tiled foyer welcomes us, with a grand chiseled stone arch to the left. On the right, we find the old kitchen, featuring the original fireplace and traditional wooden benches. To the far back and on the left, there are six rooms that used to serve as pantries, wine cellars, and animal stalls.

Ascending to the first floor, we encounter high ceilings, an elegant and luminous atmosphere. To our right, there are two central halls, spacious rooms—the former dining room and the living room—each boasting majestic balconies. These rooms connect with seven bedrooms and a bathroom, each with its unique characteristics in terms of size and orientation. On the south and east facade, there is a terrace that encircles the house, connecting the rooms, living areas, and a staircase leading to the lower garden.

The second floor presents a vast hall stretching from east to west. In the southern wing, there is a large room with four open arches overlooking the fields and the river in the distance. Adjacent to it, there are two more rooms on each side, one of which provides access to the defense tower via a narrow wooden staircase. In the northern wing, there are a total of eight spacious rooms, all featuring windows or balconies overlooking the exterior.

The caretaker's house is situated to the west of the courtyard, facing the manor farmhouse. It has a large traditional entrance, stables on the left, the old kitchen on the right, and a series of old animal quarters in front. The second floor comprises several spacious rooms, former bedrooms, and granaries. One of them has direct access to the courtyard.

The well-maintained gardens boast various features, including water reservoirs where the laundry used to be cleaned, a vegetable garden surrounded by a stone wall, and a sacred corner with the Virgin Mary statue in the center, where people would sit and pray.

The structural condition of the property is good but would require a comprehensive restoration. It has a built area of 2107 m2 and 3.1 hectares of land. It is located 3 km from the city center of Girona, offering all the conveniences while maintaining a rural and traditional feel. Few properties have this combination. The property has mains water and electricity.
