Issue #5

in partnership with SpainExpat.com

Old houses with a story fill this week's list, and half of them are in Catalunya, from a twelfth-century rectory in the Garrotxa to a hilltop castle with a round tower near Amer. The stone casa-palacete on the square in Briones, at 180,000 euros, is the quiet bargain. The Baroque pazo in Beade, at 289,000, is another. Eighteen homes in all, from 180,000 to 1,450,000 euros, across five regions.

Medieval masia with walled garden in Vilaür

Where Vilaür, Catalunya is in Spain🌊 13 km to the coast · ✈️ Girona airport, 31 km · 🏙️ Barcelona, 106 km · ⛰️ 65 m elevation · ☀️ ~3,489 h sun/yr · 🌧️ 755 mm rain/yr

A masia documented since the 13th century on the edge of Vilaür, a small village in the Alt Empordà. The square main block grew out of a medieval core through centuries of additions and repairs, and it is built of rough local stone under tiled roofs. The ground floor was the working farm, with a room for pressing oil and a cellar holding old underground vats. The family lived on the first floor, around a broad central hall, a main kitchen with a large fireplace that opens onto two terraces, and five bedrooms with ceilings of historic value. The top floor, once used to store produce, has been converted into rooms, a study-library and a south-facing covered gallery. Around the house stand stalls for livestock and a hayloft, and a walled garden of 1,700 m2 surrounds it. At €980,000 for 1,170 m2 the house is lived in but needs considerable renovation. Girona airport is 31 km away and the coast 13 km. It suits a family ready to restore a large farmhouse over several years.

This is a palace-style house from Lucena's civil Baroque period, entered through a portal of marbled stone from the Subbética quarries set in a whitewashed façade. Behind it a foyer opens onto a columned Baroque courtyard, planted with palms and climbing vines, and the rooms are arranged around it. A staircase under a Baroque dome, with glass-paned wooden doors on both floors, rises to the first floor, where broad galleries run past the dining room and the kitchen. Between those two rooms sit monastic turnstiles that serve as hatches. The original flooring survives throughout, and the carved doors reflect the woodworking Lucena has long been known for. The ground floor holds a garage for three cars, workspaces, a wine cellar with a tasting area and a large multipurpose room. Lucena is a lively town in the Subbética of Córdoba, 493 metres above sea level and 59 km from Córdoba. At €895,000 for 1,149 m² and nine bedrooms, the house suits a large family, or anyone planning a guesthouse or a small hotel.
