Masias for sale in Esponellà

Esponellà is a municipality in the Pla de l’Estany area, beside the river Fluvià, on the border with the Alt Empordà. Its landscape of gentle hills, woods, fields and scattered masias, and its medieval bridge over the river, give it a very authentic rural character, a short distance from Banyoles, Figueres and Girona.

It is an area much appreciated by those looking for a masia with land in a peaceful natural setting, away from the busiest areas yet well connected with the coast and the cities of the province.

The Fluvià and the Pla de l’Estany

What to consider when buying a masia in Esponellà

• 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.

• The land: size, orientation, views and relationship with neighbouring properties.

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

What a masia is like in this area

The masias of the Girona region are stone farmhouses, often several centuries old, built to house the family and its farming activity. They retain thick walls, vaulted ceilings and large rooms, and many have outbuildings —stables, haylofts, granaries— that can be turned into guest houses, studios or multi-purpose spaces. The most careful restorations add a pool, a garden and modern installations without losing the character of the house.

Life in Esponellà

Life in Esponellà is quiet and closely tied to the countryside. Banyoles, a short distance away, offers shops, schools and services all year round, and Figueres and Girona complete the offer. The beaches of the Costa Brava are a reasonable drive away.

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.

Main residence or second home

Esponellà is chosen both as a second home in the countryside and for living all year round, especially by those who value nature, privacy and a life away from the summer pace of the coast.
