Large historic country house of 2,127 m² built on a 25-hectare plot of land and with the remains of a 9th-century castle for sale in La Garrotxa.

Lucas Fox presents this great country house with history, cultural heritage and nature in its purest state that are perfectly combined to offer a great project with endless possibilities.

It is located in the heart of La Garrotxa, 15 minutes from the nearest town centre and is accessed by a paved road up to 432 metres above sea level where it is located. The property is in a natural environment, a haven of peace, with a series of features that make it unique and special.

Originally known as the Miana rectory, due to the hermitage that gives it its name, its current owners have cared for and recovered the property the last 30 years, creating a wonderful place where time seems to have stood still.

It has a large built area of 2,127.49 m² that offers a multitude of spaces, corners, and rooms ideal for large groups, as well as various buildings that are located throughout the plot, like a little neighbourhood.

Among these spaces we highlight the large main house, the oldest part of the property, around which the rest of the buildings are arranged, such as the hermitage of La Miana, which is used to carry out various activities. The owner’s home occupies a special place, updated without losing the essence of the old Catalan farmhouses. It has wonderful terraces, balconies overlooking nature from which to enjoy the peace that the place offers us and a series of workshops spaces.

Magnificent outdoor areas are also offered, such as the pool space, where you can enjoy the feeling of being immersed in nature in comfort.

The property is located on a 25-hectare plot, mostly holm oak forest and also with different arable terraces around the house, which offer a great sense of privacy, as well as great potential to develop some type of organic farming project, for example.

The historical value of the country house is attributed to the listed castle dating from the 9th century according to the historical archives, with a refurbishment project and many possibilities of receiving subsidies for its conservation and refurbishment. Also historically recognized is the castle’s guard tower, located in the highest area of the masia, from which you can see truly spectacular views.

At for amenities, the property has spring water, located on the same plot and channelled to the house. It also has solar panels to heat the water, as well as a diesel supply. The place is ideal for developing an eco-sustainable project.

In short, a magical place for a great project.
