INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE
ANCIENT CATALAN FARMHOUSE WITH HISTORIC CHARM AND MODERNIST ELEGANCE
About
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of this extraordinary property, originally constructed in the 12th century. Meticulously restored and transformed around 1907 by the distinguished Barcelona architect Modest Feu, this farmhouse evolved into a breathtaking modernist mansion. Although it briefly embraced modernist style, the property was restored to its original Catalan farmhouse essence in the 1950s, preserving its historical charm.
Every detail of this unique estate speaks of its storied past and architectural significance. The property features a Baroque chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Sorrows, with a fireplace upstairs and a backyard grille, both crafted by the visionary Gaudà in his early works. The landscaped front courtyard, sprawling over 2,266 m², includes a well from the original farmhouse, adding to the historical ambiance. Two separate entrances, one through the modernist garage and another from the exterior parking lot, provide convenient access.
The backyard, equally expansive at 2,266 m², offers a relaxed atmosphere with trees and shrubs ready to accommodate future projects. It includes a 153.95 m² modernist garage, an 80.14 m² porch, an annexed farmhouse with three rooms, and 471 m² of floor space, presenting countless possibilities for utilization. The surrounding fields and forests hold substantial agricultural potential, particularly for cork extraction, and are governed by a comprehensive forest management plan (PTGMF).
Inside, the farmhouse unfolds across multiple levels, each revealing a unique aspect of its character. The ground floor, encompassing 447.10 m², welcomes guests with a large entrance hall adorned with typical Catalan arcades. The second floor, covering 427.10 m², houses en suite bedrooms and service rooms, each featuring elegant modernist tiles that exude a timeless sophistication. At its heart lies the Empire Room, a centerpiece of the floor, renowned for its impeccable décor and inviting ambiance.
The third floor, spanning 409.7 m², offers a large billiard room, along with smaller rooms and bathrooms reminiscent of the time when servants resided in the house. This floor grants access to the highest terrace, providing panoramic views of the estate's forests and even glimpses of the sea on clear days. Each room on this level boasts a private terrace, and all floors are connected by an interior service staircase, enhancing the property's grandeur.
This property is not just a home; it is a living museum, a testament to architectural brilliance and historical significance. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to reside in a space steeped in history while enjoying modern amenities.
