Luxury Houses for Sale in Cabrera de Mar

Living in Cabrera de Mar

Cabrera de Mar is one of the most peaceful municipalities on the Costa de Barcelona (Maresme). Located between Mataró and Cabrils, it stretches from the coast up the slopes of the coastal range, where its residential areas of detached houses with open Mediterranean views are concentrated.

The municipality is overlooked by the castle of Burriac, high on the mountain, and has a small old centre with a church and local shops. Its unhurried pace and natural setting make it a popular choice for families seeking space and privacy near Barcelona.

Areas of the municipality

Cabrera de Mar is organised into different areas: the old centre, with everyday services; the hillside estates, with detached houses and views; and the highest areas, near the hills, where plots tend to be larger and the setting more natural. The strip by the sea is separated from the village by the coastal transport routes.

What a house in Cabrera de Mar is like

Houses in Cabrera de Mar usually make use of the slope to open the main rooms to the sea views. Large detached homes predominate, with several terraces, a pool and good-sized gardens, and some properties are on a single level, a feature highly valued for its convenience. In the higher areas, the vegetation and distance between plots provide a privacy that is hard to find so close to Barcelona.

Burriac castle and the hills

Burriac castle, on top of the mountain overlooking the municipality, is one of the area’s symbols and the destination of one of its best-known walking routes. From there you enjoy a wide view over the coast. Paths in the hills connect with neighbouring towns and let you enjoy nature all year round.
