BARNES presents this exceptional Catalan farmhouse located in the Pla de l'Estany region, on the border with Alt Empordà, a privileged setting where nature and tranquillity come together to offer a truly unique lifestyle. Set on a rustic estate of almost 1.5 hectares (according to the cadastral records), surrounded by fields, holm oaks, pine trees and olive groves, this property retains all the charm of traditional Catalan architecture while incorporating the comforts required for sustainable year-round living. The farmhouse offers 407 sqm of built area and is currently arranged as two independent dwellings, providing exceptional versatility for family use, guest accommodation, or even a rural tourism-related activity. The main residence, distributed over three floors, offers comfortable living spaces throughout the year, including a living room with fireplace, a spacious kitchen-dining area, additional sitting rooms, and two bedrooms on the upper floor-one of which is currently used as a yoga room-with open views over the surrounding countryside. The principal suite enjoys access to a pleasant private terrace overlooking the stables. Taking advantage of the natural slope of the land, the lower level houses the laundry room and a small storage area. This floor also benefits from a secondary entrance leading directly to the pool terrace and relaxation area. The second residence, also arranged over three levels, features an open-plan living and dining area with kitchen, two double bedrooms and a spacious attic offering multiple possibilities of use. All rooms enjoy abundant natural light and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, creating a constant sense of peace and connection with nature. Outside, the property features a charming swimming pool area with a covered porch for family meals and several relaxation spaces, as well as various outbuildings required for storage and maintenance purposes. The estate also offers ample space for a vegetable garden or children's play area, together with two olive-growing areas and several sections of woodland populated by holm oaks and pine trees. The property stands out for its commitment to sustainability and energy independence. In January 2026, an advanced photovoltaic system with state-of-the-art Victron lithium batteries was installed, a solution widely used in high-end residential projects for its reliability and performance. Combined with water supplied from the municipal network, this system allows for a comfortable, efficient and virtually self-sufficient lifestyle throughout the year. The kitchen operates on butane gas, while heating is provided by oil-fired radiators. Designed for those seeking an authentic countryside lifestyle, the property includes equestrian facilities with fenced paddocks, stables equipped with water and electricity, and a valid livestock activity licence. It is an ideal setting for enjoying nature, horse riding and outdoor living in complete privacy. At the same time, its location offers excellent connectivity: Banyoles is only 12 minutes away, Girona and its airport can be reached in approximately 30 minutes, while the beaches of the Costa Brava, including Sant Martí d'Empúries, Sant Pere Pescador and L'Escala, are all within a 35-minute drive. A unique opportunity for those seeking a traditional Catalan farmhouse offering privacy, modern comfort, sustainability and generous outdoor spaces in one of the best-connected natural areas of inland Girona.
