Finca/Country House for sale in Cruïlles Monells i Sant Sadurní de I'Heura, Girona

Fantastic farmhouse to restore with absolute privacy and sea views. This 18th-century architectural gem, partially restored and perched on a hillside, blends history, nature, and exclusivity. With total privacy, serenity, and 360º panoramic views stretching to the sea and the Medes Islands, this property offers exceptional potential to create a luxury residence or a unique rural retreat in the heart of the Empordà.

The scene: Nestled in the middle of Les Gavarres, a protected natural area of great ecological value, the estate is surrounded by untouched forests and endless hiking and cycling trails. Only a handful of unique properties enjoy this privileged setting, ensuring an atmosphere of absolute exclusivity. Despite its secluded character, the farmhouse has excellent access: a private 500 m path connects to a well-maintained paved road. It is just 20 minutes from the Golden Triangle of the Baix Empordà, 35 minutes from the beaches of the Costa Brava, 30 minutes from Girona, and 1 h 20 m from Barcelona. A strategic location that combines peaceful seclusion with proximity to all services and attractions in the region.

The tour: The main farmhouse offers 310 m² and has been partially restored.
Ground floor: the entrance on the southwest façade opens onto a spacious central hall, with two rooms on one side and a large kitchen on the other, all featuring fireplaces. Opposite the entrance, a doorway connects to more than 400 m² of original structures—currently in ruins—which hold great restoration potential.
First floor: a staircase leads to a bright landing with high ceilings that preserves remnants of frescoes, evoking the property’s historic richness. Here, there are four generous bedrooms, all with breathtaking views. High ceilings are a distinctive feature throughout, along with preserved original elements such as wooden beams, Catalan terracotta floors, and vaulted ceilings that highlight the authentic character of the farmhouse.
The ruined buildings are attached to the main house, offering enormous potential: from expanding the living areas and creating light-filled interior courtyards, to designing one or two independent guest or caretaker’s houses, or even developing a rural tourism project or nature-related activity.

The property extends over 127 hectares of ancient holm oaks and cork oak forests. Approximately 7.5 acres around the farmhouse were once cultivated fields and olive groves, and they can be recovered. The property benefits from a forest management plan for cork harvesting, a traditional activity in the area that offers both attractive profitability and guarantees the preservation and sustainability of the landscape.

Practical details: The estate is not currently connected to the electricity grid and has an old well, which opens the door to bespoke ecological solutions. Options include verifying the water capacity of the existing well or drilling a new one, alongside installing rainwater collection systems and solar panels. This would allow for complete self-sufficiency with modern comfort, in perfect harmony with nature.
