Historic farmhouse in Sils

We present this wonderful historic estate located in the old town of the village of Sils, with excellent communications with the cities of Barcelona and Girona both by train and freeway. Rarely on the market, a large historic country mansion with gardens, pool and outbuildings, but not isolated but on the edge of a thriving town with excellent infrastructure.

Originally two properties, the owners joined them together to provide a large and spacious house with 6 bedrooms, three bathrooms and distributed over two floors. Entering the property we have the large distribution area, typical of all the old farmhouses in Catalonia, with rooms and staircase starting from here. There is a rustic style kitchen with antique fireplace, dining room with beams, small ‘cosy’ living room with fireplace. Stairs leading up to the second floor take us to another distribution area with magnificent original beams, three double bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and access to the other side of the property, the other house. Here we have three more bedrooms, overlooking the Aiguamolls countryside, a wonderful terrace that used to be where hay was stored, views of the garden and pool, another guest bathroom and a staircase leading down to the ground level of this second property. Here we have the old wine cellar, where the wine was made, a large and spacious living room, full of light, an old section not reformed to transform where the animals were fed with original manger, a guest closet, access to a huge garage and a small secret passage called ‘Sitge’, where the ‘heir’ of the property could hide in dangerous times.

The house overlooks its beautifully manicured garden and lawn with salt water swimming pool and countryside views. Here there is a greenhouse, kennels and dog area, plus a chicken coop and storage area. An added bonus is the converted barn which is used as a wonderful outside kitchen and living room with an upstairs area that could be an office or bedroom, there is a wooden floor throughout and original beams. Outside there is a beautiful terrace with a huge barbecue. There is another garage, with access from the street, for one car.

This property has great potential for a number of uses as well as a family home with its flexible accommodation and outbuildings. Its history, dating back to the 13th century, has been documented, which adds to the unique value it possesses.
