Pau, Catalonia 17494

Pau (Alt Empord) - Nineteenth-century Catalan farmhouse with the main house renovated in 1980. The house is located on a plot of 2454m2 privileged both for the location, orientation and services in itself. The lower part of the plot of about 1650m2 is fertile orchard land irrigated by the Rec de la Corriola that comes down from the hill just behind the village. It has three wells irrigated by the springs that collect the waters of the Canig and Albera rivers in the plain of the Empord, one of which has never been seen dry. We find a large shed that can fit up to two tractors, a corn dryer and different terraces between the wells.The upper area of the plot (about two meters higher as can be seen in the last photo of the plan) where the stone farmhouse is located on the stone itself. This part is completely fenced with stone walls from the street and with the other part of the plot, and we find different fruit trees and a spectacular rock in the northeast of the plot, very conducive to defending the house from the climate of the north. As the house looks in the cover photo, the faades of this address are designed to protect the house and make it climatically efficient from the very beginning.The urban character of 2026m2 of the plot (428m2 of the total correspond to irrigated vegetable garden) allows us to imagine a project to extend the house to 1215m2 built, or to develop two additional houses in the lower part of up to 450m2 each.The house has a second roof next to the entrance to park vehicles, and different roofs for many uses between the buttresses of the stone walls up to half a meter thick. The ground floor is a Catalan vaulted warehouse divided into two sections with the entrance in the middle, where today there are still boots, stone silos for grain and all the uses of a country house in full 100% self-sufficient performance, today these spaces can be conceived again as cool rooms in summer and warm in winter.On the first floor there is access to the dining room, we find bathroom, kitchen, three double bedrooms, one single and a pantry that could be another double bedroom, and a roof terrace facing southeast to take advantage of the best light and views over the Parc dels Aiguamolls del Empord in one of its most virgin and fertile areas that begins at the foot of this village.Finally, there is a barn of about 34m2 of double height, attached to the house but with access from the orchard area, where independent rooms could be developed or connected to the main house, or used for traditional use.An opportunity to acquire an exclusive site to grow a modern project rooted in the charm of tradition and stone.
