House for sale in Girona, Baix Emporda, LFCB160 - 9 bedrooms, 6 reception rooms, 8 bathrooms

Impeccably restored 11th Century castle located in a prestigious medieval village in the heart of the Baix Emporda.Situated in a prestigious medieval village in the highly desirable Baix Emporda region of Catalonia, this stylishly restored 11th century castle commands breathtaking 360 degree views across the surrounding countryside to the Mediterranean Sea.

Bought 30-years ago by the current owner (a well known architect and antiques collector), the castle was painstakingly restored over a 15-year period and is presented in immaculate condition. The property previously lay in ruins and all features used in its restoration were either bespoke crafted for the property or reclaimed from other castles around the Spanish mainland. The result is a breathtaking property combining elegant and modern interiors with an impressive array of authentic, historical pieces. The castle is surrounded by immaculate walled gardens in a plot of 5000m2, including lovely patios, the old weapons court, various fountains, abundant fruit trees, immaculately manicured flower beds and a beautiful circular swimming pool with outdoor jacuzzi. The estate also includes a wonderfully restored chapel, a separate staff house and a private museum. The property is being sold fully furnished (with the exception of a few personal items). The furniture has all been specially sourced for the property and includes an impressive mix of contemporary and antique pieces. The castle also boasts a number of unique pieces, such as a carved stone fireplace bought from the nearby Dali Museum.
