Luxury Houses for Sale in Torrent

Houses and masias in Torrent

Torrent is a small village in the Baix Empordà located between Pals, Regencós and Begur, a few minutes from the coves of the Costa Brava. Its cluster of stone houses, surrounded by farmland, woods and country lanes, keeps the peaceful atmosphere of the inland villages of the Empordà, with the sea very close.

This combination of countryside and coast makes it one of the most sought-after areas for anyone wanting a masia or a house with land in the part of the Baix Empordà closest to the shore.

A village between Pals and Begur

Torrent’s position is one of its main attractions.

Palafrugell and La Bisbal offer services all year round.

What to consider when buying a masia in Torrent

• 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 Torrent are stone farmhouses, often several centuries old, with thick walls, vaulted ceilings and large rooms. The most careful restorations adapt them to modern life with a pool, garden, heating and new installations, and on many estates the old stables or haylofts have become guest houses or multi-purpose spaces.

Life in Torrent

Life in Torrent is that of a small, quiet village, with Empordà cuisine, the weekly markets of the area and the nearby sea as part of everyday life. Country lanes lead on foot or by bike to the neighbouring villages, and in summer the coves of Begur and Pals beach are a few minutes 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

Torrent is often chosen as a second home by those who want the countryside without giving up the beach. Its proximity to Palafrugell and La Bisbal also makes year-round living possible, with services close by.
