Everything you need to know about this country house for sale

A more idyllic setting is hard to imagine. This wonderful country property is located in 16 hectares of private land with beautiful gardens, separate guest accommodation, stables, a paddock, swimming pool and tennis court, all enjoying breathtaking country views across the volcanic hills of the Garrotxa to the snow capped Pyrenees.

The location is exceptional, being just 8km (7-minutes) from Banyoles with its shops, restaurants, cafés and picturesque lake, yet in a private, hillside estate offering total tranquility and privacy.

The property would be ideally suited to a buyer looking to set up a rural retreat with equestrian facilities as the estate offers a 7-bedroom main house (314m2), 4 separate guest apartments (210m2) and a stable block (155m2) with 4 generous sized boxes of 20m2 each. Access to the property is via a well maintained, asphalt and stone road and the estate is just 35km from the city of Girona and its international airport.

The property originally dates from the 17th/18th Century and was fully restored in the 1920s. The house was subsequently extended in the 1980s before the present owners carried out extensive renovation works 4 years ago.
