3 unbelievable places to live your dream in Catalunya
Are you thinking about quitting the rat race to live your dream in the Spanish sunshine? There’s so much more to choose from than a simple white villa by the sea. We’ve talked to local English-speaking estate agencies about what’s available to buy now, and found some of the quirkiest properties around.
1. Your very own organic vineyard
This is an award-winning organic vineyard and bodega in El Perelló. This fantastically located property is currently owned by the El Grial family. You could produce up to 240,000 bottles of white, red and rosé from 27 hectares of certified organic grapes. You can’t drink all of that wine while admiring the view, so you’ll have to sell some.
There are also olives and almonds to harvest, your own borehole for water, two houses, two cottages and the bodega.
€1.8m, Solorada Properties.
2. A rural tourism business
The estate agent describes this as a “fantastic country property with huge potential”. It includes two properties on the edge of a wild pine forest. It needs quite a bit of renovation before it’s visitor-ready, but there are rustic stone walls and wooden beams to cherish, plus olives to harvest and breathtaking surroundings. It’ll keep you busy.
If magnificent isolation is what you’re after, look no further!
€450,000, Perelló Properties Direct.
3. A house with a stone chapel
“A magnificent country house just 10 mins from the sea,” says the estate agent. If swinging in the hammock beside the swimming pool is getting too full-on, take some time out for a bit of meditation in your own, personal small stone chapel (or ermita in Catalan). What more could a burned-out city executive wish for?
The villa has sea views, a lake, three bedrooms and its own solar power system too.
€275,000, My Spanish Home.
