Description

Unique countryhouse with defensive tower Descripci n de la propiedad This magnificent property is located in Les Corts, a beautiful and tranquil setting situated very close to the urban center of L'Escala and the lovely beach of Emp ries. Its privileged location also offers special proximity to the fascinating ruins of Emp ries, an important archaeological site dating back to the Greek and Roman periods, allowing one to enjoy history and culture in an unparalleled natural environment.

The 18th-century countryhouse retains its original architectural elements, such as stone walls, Catalan vault ceilings, 'tova' floors, and an impressive twelve-meter-high circular defensive tower connected to the house by an elegant bridge. The building, which spans over 700 m , features spacious rooms distributed over two floors.

On the ground floor, a large hallway with a Catalan vault leads to a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room with access to the garden, a wine cellar, a games room, and a guest toilet. Also on this floor is a bedroom and a full bathroom. The original staircase leads us to the main floor, where we are greeted by a vast space with high ceilings and large windows creating several living areas, including a sitting area with a fireplace, a library, and an office.

This floor includes four spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The master suite has access to a terrace that connects with the defensive tower. Outside, the beautiful garden features a swimming pool and a porch. The house is equipped with an elevator, a laundry area, oil-fired central heating, mains water, and wells for garden irrigation.

This property not only offers an exceptional home but also a unique opportunity to live in a setting rich in history, comfort, and natural beauty. Descripci n de la ubicaci n L'Escala, is a municipality located on the coast of the province of Girona, on the Costa Brava, which is made up of different population centers, L'Escala, Sant Mart d'Emp ries, Riells and Montg .

This town projected to the sea with a great variety of marine landscapes enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate. We find beaches near the urban area such as Les Barques and other beaches that are accessed by long walks that border them, such as La Platja de Riells. Very close to here we find the busy Port de la Clota, current fishing and sports port of L Escala.

In the southernmost part of L Escala is the popular Montg Beach, a typical cove of fine white sand, flanked by an old defense tower that serves as the perfect viewpoint to enjoy surprising views. The Ruins of Empuries, a must-see, in 1908 the first excavations discovered these settlements dating from the 9th century BC.

Here you can see remains of the Roman and Greek cities, great Roman forums and walls, as well as the surprising mosaics of the Domus, or the Greek statues and amphorae. Not far from the ruins we find the small and beautiful medieval town of St Marti, ideal for a walk and a well-deserved rest in one of its bars and restaurants.

The town of L Escala is located in the province of Girona just 50 kilometers from Girona airport and 100 kilometers from Barcelona. If you wish to buy or sell a house on the Costa Brava, do not hesitate to contact Engel & V lkers Costa Brava Sud. #ref:W-02UXQR

The property buying process in Spain takes time; it could be up to six months between seeing the property of your dreams and actually taking ownership. So how much would this €1,800,000 property cost you?

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Spain will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £63,990 more.
