Being offered for sale is one of the most notable Mid-Century Modern estates in Spain. Built in 1959 by celebrated Catalan architect Josep Pratmarsó, the Costa Brava estate consists of a wonderful house with approximately 6,300 sq ft of accommodation nestled in 4 acres of exotic gardens and forests, surrounded by views of the Gavarres mountains and the sea at Castell beach. Spread over its own hilltop, the house overlooks the pool and white cubist pool house framed by palm and olive trees.
Perfectly positioned for international travel, nearby are Girona airport (30 minutes by car) and Barcelona airport (75 minutes by car). Yacht mooring facilities are available in the harbours of Palamos, Llafranc and Tamariu (10 minutes by car).
The estate was valued and marketed at €6m as little as 18 months ago, the estate is now being offered for €2.95m due to the owner’s need for a quick sale against the backdrop of Spain’s financial difficulties. This, therefore, offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a superb Modern estate at a excellent price. For more details on the sale or to arrange a viewing contact Albert Hill at The Modern House.
