Celrà, Catalonia 17460

Secluded country property on the edge of a Girona village bordering the Gavarres National Park and within walking distance of the shops and restaurants and mainline railway station. The house has been immaculately restored and was featured recently in the prestigious international design magazine AD USA. Outside we find beautifully maintained gardens with water wells, various trees, shrubs and flowers. A large part of the garden is given to a flat lawn and there is a vegetable garden and a pool with a pergola. The house is bordered to the rear by thick woodland. The house itself, which is stylishly designed and decorated, has been the subject of photographic features for design magazines. Built in 1732 and renovated in 1973, it is spread over 3 floors. One enters the house on the ground level through the front door into a large hallway. Leading off the right side we find the large split-level living room of approximately 50 m with vaulted ceilings and a large fireplace. Off to the left of the hallway we find the large fitted kitchen which also has an original fireplace. A dining room leads off the kitchen and has patio doors which open out onto the terrace. Another vaulted dining room leads off the kitchen and could be used as a wine cellar. Large stairs lead up to the second floor where we find a large central landing which is used as an office. Two large double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms lead off this landing and both have their own private terrace. A third bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a fourth double bedroom also lead off the landing. A corridor leads into the second living room. a large room of 60 m with big windows overlooking the Gavarres hills. In this room steps lead up to the third floor of the property where we find 2 very large open rooms and 2 smaller rooms, all of which can be converted into bedrooms or living spaces. The house can be extended further and it has a tourist licence to run as a hotel or restaurant. Ideal for someone looking for a very peaceful retreat set in beautiful landscape or wanting to run a small hotel, restaurant or health retreat business.
