Traditional Spanish Catalan Country Villa Caldes de Malavella, Spain This beautifully restored mill house is a typical Catalan country villa
with thick stone walls and exposed beams, and is known as a "masia." Masias are part of the Catalonia cultural heritage
in Spain, and as such are protected as a historical site by the Government through very low property taxes. Secluded and private the villa is a mere 18kms. from the seaside vacation resort of Lloret
de Mar in Spain's Costa Brava. It is five minutes to the train station connection line from Barcelona to the French border,
a 15 minute drive to Girona airport and a 20 minute drive to Girona City on a newly constructed highway. This 2 floor country villa has a large living room, separate dining room, a modern new kitchen
and 6 bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The villa has central heating and 2 of the bedrooms and the living room have
fireplaces. Circular work in the interior, stone walls and ceilings, the old kiln, millstones, cobblestone areas and wooden
beams all contribute to an ambiance reminiscent of quiet 18th century life in a modern world. The ground floor has a spacious hall with walls of stone and timber. There is a boiler room, a storage room, a wine
cellar, a 2 car garage, safety gate, alarm system and an individual parabolic antenna. Attached to the main house is a workshop
and a gym with exercise machines. There is also a tool shed for garden implements. A 10 x 4.5 meter swimming pool, covered
barbeque with wood storage and a greenhouse alongside the garden complete this luxurious picture of serenity in the Spanish
countryside. The entire property is 50,000 square meters, or 12 ½
acres, with plenty of green space and mature shade and orchard trees surrounding the house. Five acres are under cultivation
