Ruin for sale in Cruïlles Monells i Sant Sadurní de I'Heura, Girona

Historic farmhouse restoration project on 28 hectares in the heart of Les Gavarres and just 40 minutes from the Costa Brava. Included in the Catalogue of Masies of the municipality of Cruïlles, in the Baix Empordà region, the property offers the possibility of rebuilding the original farmhouse in an exceptional natural setting while preserving its historic character and traditional architecture.

Surrounded by forest and open meadows, the estate offers complete privacy and immersion in nature, with gently rolling terrain and abundant sunshine throughout the day. The farmhouse stands at approximately 400 metres above sea level, in a peaceful landscape of cork oaks, holm oaks, pines, strawberry trees, heather and broom, characteristic of the Mediterranean forests of Les Gavarres.

The scene: Access to the property is via a well-maintained public forest road, followed by 80 metres of private track leading directly to the farmhouse. Despite its secluded setting, the property enjoys good connections to nearby villages and services. La Bisbal d’Empordà and Cassà de la Selva are both approximately 25 minutes away, while the beaches of the Costa Brava can be reached in around 40 minutes. A small parish village and a restaurant with exceptional views are just 5 minutes away.

The estate comprises approximately 28 hectares, including around 3,000 m² of open meadows surrounding the farmhouse and 27.7 hectares of Mediterranean forest. The land is fairly flat around the building, making it especially pleasant and practical for future outdoor spaces and access.

The tour: The existing ruins correspond to a traditional stone masia with a total built area of approximately 485 m² distributed over ground floor and upper floor. The south-facing façade originally featured a beautiful stone-arched gallery, which may be rebuilt as part of the restoration project. The building requires complete reconstruction, preserving the original volume and rebuilding the stone walls and two-pitched tiled roof in accordance with traditional architectural criteria.

The reconstruction offers the opportunity to design a unique countryside residence fully adapted to the buyer’s vision, while respecting the historical essence of the property and its integration into the natural surroundings.

Practical details: The property is not connected to mains electricity or water supply, offering the possibility to create a fully self-sufficient rural retreat. A private well would be required for water supply and/or a rainwater collection system, while electricity would be generated through solar panels. Wastewater treatment must be carried out through a biological sanitation system.

Its privileged natural setting, extensive forest land and complete absence of nearby construction make this property ideal for those seeking tranquillity, privacy and a genuine restoration project in one of the most untouched areas of the Empordà.
