5 bedroom villa 645 m² Banyoles, Spain

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 restored a few years ago. The repair work took 4 years. The house has fully preserved the appearance of the Catalan stone mansion-masia, but the interiors are made in an unusual style, combining modern and traditional oriental elements. Many of the decorative details were custom made 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 region and the snowy peaks of the Pyrenees Mountains. Near the house is a 12th century chapel. The owners of the house have the exclusive right to use it on any day, except August 26, when mass is held for 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 a lake where rowing competitions were held during the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona.
