Everything you need to know about this country house for sale
One of the standout properties in the province, this magnificent luxury Girona country house to buy has been sympathetically and lovingly restored by its current owners, respecting the original architectural style with traditional materials yet incorporating modern facilities within the interior to give the highest standards of easy living and comfort.
The property is situated in a truly idyllic location between Girona and Lake Banyoles, enjoying breathtaking 180º views across the surrounding countryside and to the snow-capped Pyrenees. The house enjoys total tranquility and privacy.
The main house has four en-suite double bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom with a beautiful en-suite bathroom (with bathtub) and a view overlooking the stunning garden and swimming pool. Across the courtyard is a separate annex building with two further en-suite bedrooms, both with air conditioning and spacious terraces with magnificent views.
A large open-plan kitchen offers all the facilities to prepare high quality food. A small kitchen garden provides a selection of vegetables, fresh herbs and flowers for the house.
A key feature of the property is the enchanting 13th Century chapel, currently used as a wonderfully atmospheric dining and living room. On the gallery overlooking the chapel below is a snooker table and office area with access to a beautiful covered terrace offering exceptional views to the mountains.
The property offers the comforts of cool air conditioning or a blazing log fire, magnificent views and high quality facilities.
The house has a large fireplace and central heating is available for those chilly winter evenings. All bedrooms have cooling fans, and the courtyard rooms enjoy air conditioning. Within the landscaped gardens is a 12-metre swimming pool, a large area for petanque and a lake.
A second, large annex building has been used as a working studio, although it is very easily convertible as a guest house, or caretaker's house.
The property has private grounds of 1.64 ha (including a large field set to pasture) and is set in the heart of rolling countryside - its elevated position providing panoramic views of Mount Rocacorba across the valley and the Pyrenees in the distance.
