Girona, Catalonia 17834

It's hard to imagine a more idyllic place. This wonderful country house is set on 16 hectares of private land with beautiful gardens, separate guest accommodation, stables, a corral, swimming pool and tennis court, all with stunning views of the landscape through the volcanic hills of La Garrotxa to the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees. The location is exceptional, as it is only 8 km (7 minutes) from Banyoles with its shops, restaurants, cafes and a picturesque lake, but it is a private estate that offers tranquillity and total privacy. The property would be ideal for a buyer wishing to create a rural retreat with equestrian facilities as the estate offers a 7-bedroom main house (314m2), 4 guest apartments (210m2) and a stable (155m2) with 4 spacious spaces of 20m2 each. Access to the property is via a well-maintained asphalt and stone road and the finca is only 35 km from the city of Girona and its international airport. The building dates from the seventeenth-eighteenth century and was completely restored in the twenties. The house was subsequently extended in the eighties before the current owners carried out an extensive renovation 4 years ago.
