Masias and houses for sale in La Bisbal d'Empordà

Living in La Bisbal d'Empordà

La Bisbal d'Empordà is the capital of the Baix Empordà and one of the liveliest towns in the Empordà. Known for its ceramic tradition, with many workshops and shops along its main street, it keeps an old town crowned by the Castell-Palau, the former residence of the bishops of Girona, and a bridge over the river Daró that is part of the town's image.

Its location is particularly practical: between the Gavarres massif and the Empordà plain, a short distance from Girona and the coves of the Costa Brava, with shops, services and a market all year round.

Restored masia or one to renovate

An already restored masia lets you enjoy a house with character and every comfort from day one. A masia with a renovation project offers the chance to design each space, in exchange for a construction period and a more detailed prior analysis. Our team will help you assess each option with the necessary technical and planning information.

What an 18th-century masia is like

The oldest masias around La Bisbal were built as farmhouses, with thick stone walls, vaulted ground floors and large rooms on the main floor. The most careful restorations keep these features —exposed stone, timber beams, arches— and combine them with modern kitchens and bathrooms, heating, air conditioning and a layout suited to family life. Farm outbuildings are often converted into guest houses or workspaces.
