House on Costa Brava, Spain, 645 sq.m

Country estate 8 km from Lake Bagnoles on a plot of 16 hectares. The restoration of the house was carried out at the highest level. This is one of the best facilities in the area. The house was built in the 16th century and completely renovated a few years ago. The repair work took 4 years. The house has completely preserved the appearance of the Catalan Masia stone mansion, but the interiors are made in an unusual style combining modern and traditional oriental elements. Many decorative details were made to order or specially imported from Indonesia. The design was designed by architect Oriol Rosillo. An open staircase connecting all floors of the house provides excellent natural lighting in all rooms. The house is located on a hillside on a large plot of land with magnificent views of the volcanic hills of the La Garrotcha area and the snowy peaks of the Pyrenees Mountains. Next to the house there is a chapel of the 12th century. The owners of the house have the exclusive right to use it on any day except August 26, when Mass is held for the residents of the neighboring village. The size of the plot provides complete privacy to the owners of the house. The estate is conveniently located 8 km from the village of Bagnoles, shops, bars, restaurants and the lake where rowing competitions were held during the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. The area of the three-storey house is 645 m2. The layout is organized as follows: Ground floor: kitchen with a work desk in the center; stone oven, dining table, exit to the terrace; pantry for groceries; living/dining room (80 m2) with high vaulted ceilings; stone fireplace and direct access to the terrace; second living room/ library with access to the terrace; toilet for guests; room for technical equipment at home. Second floor: main entrance hall, 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, study, gallery with views of the library (downstairs).

The costs for the construction of the pool and the completion of the garden will amount to approximately 50,000 euros.
