Houses and masias in Cassà de la Selva

Cassà de la Selva is a municipality in the Gironès at the foot of Les Gavarres, between Girona and the Costa Brava. Its centre has a long tradition linked to the cork industry and a heritage that includes the church of Sant Martí and several modernista buildings, while its territory extends over cork oak woods, streams and fields dotted with country houses and masias.

Its location is particularly practical: close to Girona, with its services and high-speed rail station, a short distance from Girona–Costa Brava airport and a few minutes from the beaches of the Baix Empordà.

Properties for sale in Cassà de la Selva and the surrounding area

The BARNES selection in Cassà de la Selva and nearby municipalities focuses on historic rural estates:

• Restored masias with large estates: farmhouses of medieval origin, restored for modern living and surrounded by hectares of land.
• Manor estates: in neighbouring Llagostera, large properties with several buildings and extensive woodland and fields.
• Houses around the Vall d’Aro: homes with gardens a few minutes from the coast, such as in Santa Cristina d’Aro.

Les Gavarres and the cork oak woods

The Gavarres massif, a protected natural area, surrounds much of the municipality with woods of cork oak, holm oak and pine. Its paths and forest tracks let you explore on foot or by bike a landscape very typical of the Girona region, and the Carrilet greenway between Girona and Sant Feliu de Guíxols passes close by.

What to consider when buying a masia in Cassà de la Selva

• Planning status: the classification of the land, the legality of all buildings and the permitted uses.
• Structural condition: roofs, walls and floors, especially in older buildings.
• Access and utilities: road access, water, electricity and internet connection.
• The land: size, orientation, views and relationship with neighbouring properties.
• Distance to services and the coast: depending on how you intend to use the property.

We explain this in detail in our guide to buying a masia in the Empordà.

What a masia is like in this area

The masias around Cassà de la Selva and Llagostera are stone farmhouses, some several centuries old, with thick walls, vaults and large rooms. The most careful restorations keep these features and combine them with modern installations, a pool and a garden. The largest estates include woodland, farmland and outbuildings that can be turned into guest houses.

Life in Cassà de la Selva

Cassà de la Selva has an active local life all year round, with shops, schools and services in the town itself and Girona very close for everything else. Local cuisine, markets and the nearby Costa Brava complete a lifestyle that combines country and city.

An estate near Girona

For many buyers, a masia in this area is a way to live in the countryside without giving up a nearby city with full services, culture and good national and international connections. It is an interesting option both for living all year round and for a rural second home near the coast.

Restored masia or one to renovate

A restored masia lets you enjoy a house full of character with every modern comfort from day one. A masia to renovate gives you the chance to design every space and bring back original features —exposed stone, vaulted ceilings, timber beams— in exchange for a construction period and a more detailed preliminary assessment. Our team will help you weigh up each option with the necessary technical and planning information.

If you are an owner, request a valuation of your masia.
