This 15th Century Girona Farmhouse Blends History With Modern Living

et within the rolling landscape of the Gavarres, this 15th century farmhouse offers a rare balance between historic character and modern living. Surrounded by over five hectares of protected land, it delivers complete privacy while staying within easy reach of Girona and the Costa Brava.

The main residence has been carefully restored, preserving original stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and traditional details while introducing clean, contemporary elements. The result feels grounded and authentic, yet comfortable and highly livable.

- If you are into coastal inspired modern homes, the Shoreline House is worth a look.

Inside, the layout is generous and flexible. Multiple en suite bedrooms, open living spaces filled with natural light, and a separate apartment create a setup that works equally well for family life or hosting. The upper floors open up to wide views across the surrounding hills, while smaller, quieter spaces offer areas to retreat.

Outside, the property is shaped around long, slow living. Terraced gardens, an organic vegetable plot, and a central pool area connect the different buildings, with shaded spots and outdoor kitchens designed for extended time outdoors.

- For something more rustic with a contemporary twist, the Floating Farmhouse is a strong alternative.

This is not just a restored farmhouse. It is a complete countryside retreat that respects its origins while being fully adapted to modern life, set in one of the most desirable natural areas in the region.
