Villa for sale in Olivella, Barcelona

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life. ” Henry David Thoreau. There are houses that tell a story even before you step through the door. Welcome to Linnaeus's house. This detached dwelling, located in a particularly quiet and very sunny mountain area, is one of them: a place designed to live with more calm, more light, and an honest relationship with nature. "Architecture must belong to the landscape, not impose itself on it.” Frank Lloyd Wright. The house sits on a plot of more than 1,000 m², surrounded by greenery and with unusual privacy. Its 239 m² of built area, distributed over two floors, takes advantage of the surroundings naturally, allowing light and views to become part of the interior. "Light is the fundamental ingredient of space.” Louis Kahn. On the main floor, the living-dining room opens to the porch and garden through large windows, creating a natural continuity between interior and exterior. The kitchen, functional and well proportioned, accompanies daily life with simplicity. On this same floor we find two double bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower. "True happiness consists of living in harmony with nature.” Albert Schweitzer. The upper floor is designed as a more intimate space: a double bedroom with a walk-in closet, a full bathroom with a bathtub and access to a private terrace with open views, where sun and silence become part of rest. "On every walk in nature one receives much more than one seeks.” John Muir. The garden and private pool are a natural extension of the house. Spacious, sunny, and versatile spaces that invite you to enjoy the outdoors, to gather without hurry, and to reconnect with a slower lifestyle. This property is a way of understanding home as refuge, light, and calm. Linnaeus's house is a place for those who know that living well begins with knowing where and how to live.
