Set among the wooded hills of the Ll\u00e9mena Valley in northeastern Spain<\/a>, this 19th-century masia on the market for \u20ac630,000<\/a> has been sensitively restored to recapture the relationship between architecture landscape. The 315sqm farmhouse<\/a> retains its original stone structure and timber beams, while new interventions \u2014 from polished-cement floors to energy-efficient glazing \u2014 bring quiet refinement without disturbing its rural rhythm.<\/p>\n

Light enters through the southwest fa\u00e7ade, leading into a generous hall and open-plan kitchen with a wood-burning stove and garden views. Upstairs, oak floors and reclaimed tiles shape a calm palette across four bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk-in robe and balcony. An independent one-bedroom annex with a private terrace extends the home\u2019s flexibility for guests or rural tourism.<\/p>\n

Outside, four hectares unfold in orchards, woodland and permaculture gardens, with a pool as a centrepiece that settles naturally into the landscape. The restoration, completed in 2016, combines local materials and solar technology for year-round comfort. A short track links the property to the nearest village, while Girona and the Costa Brava lie within easy reach.<\/p>\n
