Land for sale in La Roca del Vallès
La Roca del Vallès is a municipality in the Vallès Oriental made up of three main centres —La Roca, La Torreta and Santa Agnès de Malanyanes— and residential areas spread between the Mogent valley and the slopes of the Serralada Litoral. Its location, well connected by the AP-7 and C-60, makes it an interesting option for building a bespoke house near Barcelona and the Costa de Barcelona (Maresme).
Buying land lets you design a home tailored to your needs —layout, orientation, energy efficiency, garden and pool— rather than adapting to an existing building. In return, it requires careful preliminary analysis and a longer timescale before you can move in.
Plots in the BARNES selection
The selection includes plots of different sizes, some with a house design already drawn up, which can shorten timescales. If you widen your search, we also present land in Mataró, in established residential areas such as Can Quirze, and plots in other towns in the Vallès and on the coast.
What to check before buying land
- Planning classification: that the plot is urban and buildable, and which uses it allows.
- Building parameters: buildable area, maximum footprint, permitted height and required setbacks from boundaries.
- Topography: the slope affects the design, the views and the cost of construction.
- Orientation: it determines light and how the garden can be used.
- Utilities: road access, water, electricity, sewerage and telecommunications.
- Documentation: a Land Registry extract and municipal planning information.
We recommend involving an architect from the outset to check that the project you have in mind fits the plot’s regulations.
Land with or without a project
Land sold with a project lets you know from the start what house can be built and move faster with the licence application. Land without a project offers complete design freedom, in exchange for a longer timescale. In both cases, it is worth checking that documentation is still valid and the conditions of the building licence.
From plot to house
The usual process involves buying the land, drawing up the project, applying to the town council for a building licence and construction. Our team will help you gather the information you need to decide with confidence.
Living in La Roca del Vallès
La Roca combines quiet village centres, residential areas and a natural setting of fields and woods, with services in the municipality itself and in Granollers, the county town. Its AP-7 and C-60 connections make it easy to reach Barcelona, the Costa de Barcelona (Maresme) and the rest of the Vallès.
The advantages of building your own house
Building on your own plot lets you choose every detail: the orientation of the rooms, a layout on one or more floors, materials, energy efficiency and the integration of garden and pool. It also allows you to plan a home suited to the long term, for example with a ground-floor bedroom or space to work from home.

How to choose the right plot
As well as size, it is worth considering the shape of the plot, its relationship with neighbouring plots, the access road and sun exposure throughout the year. A well-oriented plot with good views and convenient access can be more interesting than a larger one in a less favourable location. Visiting the land at different times of day helps you understand the light, noise and surroundings.
The Mogent valley and the Serralada Litoral
La Roca’s territory combines the valley of the river Mogent, with its fields and residential areas, and the wooded slopes of the Serralada Litoral. This variety lets you choose between flat plots, more practical for building and garden life, and hillside plots with more views and privacy. Its location between the Vallès and the coast is another of its attractions.
