Villa for sale in Castellet i la Gornal, Barcelona

Font d’Horta is a unique blend of rustic tradition and modern creativity. Lovingly renovated by its current owners and transformed into a contemporary, artistic retreat, this exceptional semi-detached home offers both a warm family residence and endless possibilities thanks to its spacious ground-floor workshop.
Perfectly located, Font d’Horta combines rural tranquillity with outstanding convenience. Just a short walk from the charming village of L’Arboç, with its schools, shops and essential services, and only a short drive from vibrant Barcelona, it is an ideal setting for families seeking a connected yet peaceful lifestyle. The beautiful beaches of the Garraf coast are also just a few kilometres away.
The property extends over 13,000 m² of land of exclusive use, accessed via a discreet track that leads into a world of gardens, woodland and orchards. The thoughtfully landscaped garden surrounds the house with a series of charming terraces and outdoor dining areas, including a barbecue corner and panoramic views over the surrounding forest. The land is as practical as it is beautiful, featuring a fenced meadow ready for cultivation, a chicken coop, an auxiliary building, and paths that wind through the woodland down to two levels of olive groves with around 60 mature olive trees, as well as a selection of fruit trees.
Font d’Horta is fully connected to the electricity grid and benefits from shared well water, ensuring modern comfort without compromise. With 261 m² of built area, the house is semi-detached on the first floor, offering privacy along with the reassurance of nearby neighbours. A shaded entrance leads to a generous parking area and the versatile ground-floor workshop, currently used as an art studio but easily adaptable to any project. This level also includes a handcrafted kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a storage room. Carefully restored, the home celebrates its rustic character with original floors and traditional features, complemented by renovated kitchens and bathrooms and a fully updated electrical installation.
The first floor is designed to maximise natural light and views, featuring a spacious living room overlooking the countryside, a beautifully restored bathroom, a double bedroom and a rustic-style kitchen that opens directly onto a covered terrace. This terrace is one of the property’s highlights: a serene retreat with panoramic views of the gardens and forest, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. With two independent floors, the layout also offers the flexibility to create separate living areas if desired.
Font d’Horta is far more than a property; it is a creative sanctuary, a family home and a little piece of paradise in the Catalan countryside—just moments from Barcelona.
