Finca/Country House for sale in Fontcoberta, Girona

Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Vilavenut, in the heart of Pla de l’Estany, this remarkable country estate offers a rare balance between privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to key destinations such as Banyoles and Girona. Surrounded by open countryside, yet just minutes from urban life, it delivers an exceptional lifestyle defined by space, tranquility, and connection.

This is a genuine 19th-century Catalan farmhouse (circa 1800), thoughtfully restored over time to preserve its original character while adapting to contemporary living. Authentic features—including exposed wooden beams and traditional terracotta floors—enhance its timeless appeal and architectural integrity.

The property offers approximately 600 sqm of usable living space (790 sqm built), distributed across two main floors. Generous volumes, მაღალი ceilings, and abundant natural light define the interiors, creating a sense of understated elegance throughout.

The main level is centered around an expansive open-plan living and dining area, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. This floor also includes a private study, two double bedrooms, and a full bathroom.

The kitchen, rustic in style and open in layout, is both functional and inviting, featuring a fireplace, oven, central island, and ample storage, complemented by a separate pantry.

Upstairs, a spacious open hall leads to three double bedrooms, all exterior-facing, along with a dressing room and a well-appointed bathroom. A standout feature is the large multipurpose studio, complete with mezzanine, billiard area, minibar, and lounge—ideal as a leisure or creative space.

The lower ground floor retains the property’s historic essence, including a traditional wine cellar with original olive oil press, former stables, and a dedicated tasting area. Additional spaces include storage rooms, laundry, and utility areas.

While structurally sound and well maintained, the property would benefit from a moderate investment to further enhance comfort and align with modern standards—offering significant potential for customization.

Set on a 4,045 sqm plot, the outdoor areas include landscaped gardens, a swimming pool, and a private tennis court, creating a refined yet relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.

A key highlight is the estate’s development potential. An existing outbuilding, currently registered as storage, may be converted into residential use, allowing for the creation of up to four independent units. This makes the property particularly well suited for a large family compound, a multi-generational residence, or a hybrid private and guest accommodation concept.

Located just moments from Banyoles and the renowned Lake Banyoles, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled estate with scale, privacy, and long-term potential in one of Catalonia’s most desirable natural settings.
