La Pera, Catalonia 17120

A unique space between history and design Descripción de la propiedad Nestled near Púbol, a charming village known for housing the iconic 'Gala Dalí Castle,' this unique property blends the essence of an old Catalan countryhouse with the imposing character of a medieval fortress. Situated on an extensive plot of over five hectares, this property was renovated and expanded in the 1980s to transform it into an authentic fortress with all the elements that evoke the charm of the medieval era: walls, battlements, a moat with a drawbridge, and even a square defense tower. The exterior retains vestiges of its past splendor, offering enchanting corners in its gardens. An old octagonal wooden gazebo, accessible via a picturesque wooden bridge, invites us to enjoy the old Japanese garden. And on the adjacent old tennis court, we are surprised by the castle-imitating lampposts that illuminate it. In another area of the garden, a stone balustrade structure evokes the aesthetics of neoclassical gardens. The cobblestone entrance path, escorted by cypresses, guides us towards the crenelated wall, guardian of the castle's privacy. A small wrought iron bridge crosses the moat, now a swimming pool, inviting us to cross the threshold into the inner courtyard. The main building is distributed over two floors. On the ground floor, there are several living rooms, a kitchen, and a bedroom with a private bathroom. On the upper floor, there are three bedrooms, two of them with en-suite bathrooms. From the hallway on this floor, there is access to a terrace with beautiful views and direct access to the pool. The property requires comprehensive renovation but represents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking to restore an enclave with history and character. Surrounded by hills, forests, and panoramic views that stretch to the horizon, this castle is a magical and timeless refuge with many secrets to discover. Descripción de la ubicación Baix Empordà is a region located in the province of Girona, in the north of Catalonia. It is the region of coves and cliffs, medieval patrimony, 'Sea and Mountain' gastronomy and protected natural spaces, thanks to its rich landscape. It is a flat and green land, with small roads and paths that lead to rice fields, vineyards, olive groves and sunflowers. The Costa Brava, with its contrasts of cliffs and fine sandy beaches, is the protagonist of this region with its most outstanding villages such as Sant Feliu De Guíxols, Platja d'Aro, Begur, Pals or Calella de Palafrugell which make it the most beautiful coast of Catalonia. The nearest airport is Girona-Costa Brava, located just 21 km away. The Baix Empordà has become an ideal area both for enjoying a holiday and for living all year round.
