Historic farmhouse with chapel and 37.76 hectares of land and woodland, and 1,470 m² of built area in Sant Joan de les Abadesses

Some properties stand out for their size, others for their history. El Verdaguer combines both, in a natural setting in Ripollès that invites you to imagine a new chapter for this traditional Catalan farmhouse.

Located in the municipality of Sant Joan de les Abadesses, between the town and Ripoll, the estate extends over 377,623 m² of land and woodland, equivalent to 37.76 hectares. This expansive setting is part of the property’s appeal, offering ample space to enjoy the scenery and nature.

A historic architectural complex

Documented since the 14th century, the farmhouse retains a layout that reveals the different functions of its buildings. The complex comprises the former manor house and the quarters intended for the caretakers or workers, with numerous rooms and spaces that once housed kitchens, ovens, bathrooms and stables.

Its stone buildings, vaulted passageways and historic threshing floors lend character to an estate that still bears the imprint of its past. The scale of the complex allows for a new layout, while respecting its architectural features.

One of its most distinctive features is the 18th-century chapel, dedicated to the Mare de Déu del Roser, a testament to the importance of this farmhouse and a notable part of its heritage.

Work carried out and current condition

The buildings are in varying states of repair. The roofs over the second and third floors of the manor house have been renovated, while roof restoration work has been carried out on the workers’ building. The floors also vary in condition, with those in the main building better preserved.

These works should be considered in the context of the estate’s overall condition: the complex requires comprehensive rehabilitation and thorough renovation to restore it and bring it back into use.

Land, utilities and outdoor spaces

The property has an electricity supply with a meter and an existing connection, as well as a cistern and a well, the condition and operation of which should be assessed as part of the rehabilitation project.

The area around the former threshing floor offers a particularly appealing space for designing gardens, terraces and relaxation areas connected to the buildings.

The 37.76 hectares of land and woodland complete an estate where the landscape is as prominent as the architecture itself.

An opportunity to restore a farmhouse with character

El Verdaguer is a property for those looking to undertake a restoration project and who value traditional architecture, history and the natural setting. Its heritage protection is part of what makes it unique and must guide its restoration.

An estate with room to imagine its future and a past worth preserving.
