Situated on the southern edge of a peaceful village in the Alt Empord, this exceptional country estate enjoys an elevated position with sweeping views over the Gulf of Roses and the surrounding countryside. Set on a generous plot of approximately 6, 500 m, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, charm, and architectural significance, perfectly integrated into the natural beauty of the Empord landscape. Its location strikes a rare balance between serenity and accessibility, just 15 minutes from the golden beaches of the Costa Brava, close to the AVE high-speed train in Figueres, and within comfortable reach of Girona airport. This is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a refined rural escape. Steeped in history, the estate has evolved over generations into a stunning and functional residence that retains its original charm. The property is an architectural composition that includes the main house, a three-storey tower, a fully refurbished hayloft, and original stables, all arranged around a traditional stone-walled courtyard. The grounds are landscaped with Mediterranean flora and a large newly built swimming pool that blends harmoniously with the surroundings. Entry to the home flows through the hayloft, now transformed into a stylish, garden-facing living space, leading to the main house, which faces south for natural light. Inside, the layout is both generous and practical. The ground floor opens with an inviting entrance hall, followed by a guest bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen designed for both daily life, featuring a fireplace-warmed dining area, an open cooking zone, and a separate pantry with laundry facilities. Authentic architectural elements, barrel-vaulted ceilings, handcrafted woodwork, and stone seating nooks, preserve the soul of the building. Upstairs, natural light pours into the formal dining room through restored windows with original window seats, while the adjacent living room offers high ceilings and plenty of space to relax. Two elegant bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms complete this floor. The top level is designed for ultimate comfort, featuring a cosy lounge with a fireplace and air conditioning, access to a terrace with panoramic sea views, and two additional en-suite bedrooms, one with views of the Pyrenees and the other with garden and sea outlooks. Additional features include a garage converted from a stable (retaining its antique manger), a dedicated technical workshop, oil-fired central heating, fibre optic internet, and a fully legal private well with automated irrigation systems. For those drawn to space, authenticity, and slow living, this is an idyllic haven. Whether you envision it as a full-time family home or a creative countryside escape, this estate offers a rare lifestyle opportunity in one of Catalonias most sought-after natural settings.
