Why is it extraordinary? We will give you some very good reasons.

It is a totally isolated property in the middle of very impressive nature, yet only a 90 minutes drive from Barcelona International Airport or 120 minutes from the Costa Brava. And only one hour from the biggest ski resort in Spain, La Molina!

The only sounds you hear at this "finca rustica" are those of the birds singing during the day and those of the wild boars at night. Next to the soothing sound of the local waterfall of course! "Civilized" sounds like those of cars or neighbours you can forget about here.

There really aren't many properties which offer this kind of solitude so close to civilization.

The property has its own mountain stream running through it, full of trout and an occasional crayfish. Below the waterfall is a big basin 3 meters deep, that acts as a natural swimming pool in summer.


The ruin of the old farmhouse gives you the right to rebuild a house (or to renovate) up to 400mē. We can assist you with the necessary permissions, building plans and construction (also see the website of JAb Architects).

Below the chalet there's a garage of 60 mē. Next to the chalet and close to the riverside there's a wood-burning sauna for 6 persons.
