Living in the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà

It is particularly well known for its biodiversity and as an important resting and breeding area for numerous bird species.

The surrounding area offers a network of marked routes for walking, hiking, cycling and nature observation. Viewing platforms and birdwatching hides provide an opportunity to discover the local wildlife, making this one of the most fascinating natural environments on the Costa Brava.

The beaches of Empuriabrava, Can Comes and La Rubina are only a short drive away. The area offers excellent opportunities for swimming, sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, kayaking and many other water sports.

Empuriabrava is also internationally known for its marina, extensive canal network, skydiving centre and indoor wind tunnel. The medieval centre of Castelló d’Empúries features historic streets, the Basilica of Santa Maria, local restaurants and a wide variety of traditional events.

Figueres and the Dalí Museum, the Empordà wine route, Roses, Cadaqués and the Cap de Creus Natural Park are also within easy reach.

Along with the plot, the historic manor house of Cortal Avinyó is included, a well-known building in Alt Empordà, originally referenced under the name Cipriano Avinyó, with a first testament dating back to 1557. This unique and spectacular farmhouse was reconstructed in phases, with its last major renovation completed in 1906 by renowned modernist architect Josep Azemar, who incorporated that particular modernist elegance while preserving the traditional architectural splendor of the area and reflecting the centuries of history that have consolidated the great heritage value currently attributed to it.

As of today, the property consists of 2,100 square meters of constructed area in three buildings, distributed between a barn, a corral, and the original Cortal, which, together with its attached rectangular modernist building featuring three turrets and a magnificent tower, culminates in its main hall with breathtaking views of the entire region.

At present, its operational infrastructure includes thirteen double bedrooms, five of which have exclusive balconies, six bathrooms, five spacious lounges with a spectacular fireplace, a 20-square-meter kitchen, four floors, an elevator, a magnificent interior patio, and three terraces that border this awe-inspiring architectural masterpiece. In the historically significant reconstruction, it is also worth highlighting the chapel erected in honor of the patron saint of the Cortals of Castelló d’Empúries, as well as its extensive garden and outdoor areas, which have transformed the surroundings into a landscaped area with native species and resting areas, surrounded by the property’s exterior wall, restored in 2020 with traditional techniques. This restoration also included a small wooden pergola. The magnitude of the land surrounding the estate guarantees absolute privacy, while its proximity to strategic points on the Costa Brava and easy access to essential services increase its value as an investment.

Due to the nature of this offer, complete information will be provided exclusively to qualified interested parties, under strict confidentiality.

We appreciate your interest and remain at your disposal to provide further details or arrange a visit to the property.
