Description
Castle renovated as two homes, with magnificent views and impressive details
Located on the top of a hill overlooking the valley, we find this ancient fortified property, an isolated building consisting of two adjoining residential structures, a circular tower and a barn. It has been renovated over the centuries, retaining a rustic and robust style. With 1 hectare of terraces and gardens surrounding the castle, it is a property to be enjoyed both inside and out. The views are impressive in all directions; the Guilleries, the valley of Amer and the plain of La Selva. Facing southeast, it enjoys the sun almost all day.
Arriving in the town of Amer, we see this imposing building in the distance. It invites us to venture up and discover the historical wonders it hides. It is accessed by a well-maintained dirt road that winds up the mountain, a few meters from the asphalt and you already feel like you have entered another era.
The castle is located 3 km from Amer, 26 km from the city of Girona, and 60 km from the main beaches of the Costa Brava. The nearest airport is Girona, located 20 km away, and Barcelona El Prat airport is 129 km away.
The access road passes through the entrance gate and leads us to the old threshing floor, in front of the castle. We can access the property through several entrances, we have a ramp in the style of a drawbridge, and a portal with a carved stone arch that leads to an inner courtyard from where we can access the two independent dwellings. From the south facade we have a double wooden door that leads to one of the dwellings, and from the east facade another traditional entrance, the main access to the second dwelling. It could be said that the property is in the Catalan rustic style with details typical of a castle.
The ground floor is characterized by a large open space, ideal for large gatherings. The first floor consists of a kitchen, a living room, a dining room with fireplace, and a terrace with views of the valley of Amer. This first floor is of a noble character with very high ceilings, large windows and magnificent stone details. From here we also have access to the tower.
The second floor consists of a suite, 3 double bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
On the south side of the castle, forming part of the same building, but with separate entrances, we have a two-story house and also a barn. The house has a kitchen with fireplace, dining room and a living room, two double bedrooms, a loft, a bathroom and a study. The barn consists of a ground floor with a wooden loft.
In terms of supplies, it has energy with photovoltaic panels, and currently water is supplied through a 70,000 liter tank that is filled with rainwater and also transported by truck. The creation of a 650m pipeline to bring water from the municipal network is planned. Heating is by biomass.
