description

Set in the peaceful countryside of Pla de l'Estany, this exceptional rural estate offers a rare combination of authenticity, privacy, space and proximity to some of Girona province's most attractive towns. Surrounded by approximately 17 hectares of private land, the property enjoys complete tranquillity while remaining conveniently located just 15 minutes from Banyoles and Figueres and 10 minutes from Besalú. The estate comprises a beautiful main house, a separate former barn converted into a fully registered residential building, and a large swimming pool, all surrounded by the property's natural landscape. The current owners renovated the estate in the 2000s, creating a home that combines traditional rural character with comfortable, contemporary living. As artists themselves, they have used the property as a place to escape from everyday life, reconnect with nature and find inspiration for their creative work. The main house is distributed over several floors and offers generous, bright spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. On the ground floor, the property features a large open-plan kitchen and dining area, creating a welcoming central space for family and friends. Adjacent to this is a comfortable living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, making it particularly inviting during the colder winter months. The living room provides direct access to the outdoor patio, where a large covered porch and outdoor kitchen create an exceptional setting for entertaining. Whether hosting friends and family or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee surrounded by nature, this outdoor space takes full advantage of the property's peaceful surroundings. Also on this level are a laundry area, a guest toilet and additional storage spaces. The first floor comprises several spacious double bedrooms, including two with their own en-suite bathrooms. The impressive master bedroom also has a private bathroom and benefits from its own large terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside, a peaceful and private place to start or end the day. On the uppermost floor, another en-suite bedroom enjoys exceptional panoramic views, with near-360-degree views across the surrounding mountains and rural landscape. Approximately 100 metres from the main house, the property includes a fully renovated traditional barn, offering a highly versatile additional space. The barn has been thoughtfully converted while retaining its original rural character and currently provides a large open-plan living area with an open kitchen, two bathrooms, a laundry area and a spacious bedroom. There is also the possibility of creating a second bedroom, making it ideal as independent accommodation for guests, family or friends. Given its generous open spaces and character, the barn is also currently used as a gallery and creative space, making it particularly appealing to artists, designers and anyone looking for a property that combines living and working in an inspiring environment. Set within peaceful rural surroundings, the estate offers an extraordinary level of privacy and freedom. A large swimming pool completes the outdoor spaces, providing the perfect place to enjoy long summer days surrounded by nature. Despite its secluded setting, the property is exceptionally well connected. Banyoles, Figueres and Besalú are all within easy reach, while Girona and the Costa Brava can also be comfortably accessed by car. This is much more than a country house. It is a genuine rural retreat, offering space, privacy, nature and the freedom to create a life away from the crowds. A truly unique opportunity for those looking for authentic rural living in Catalonia, whether as a private family residence, a second home, a creative retreat or an inspiring space for artistic pursuits.
