Masias and houses for sale in Torroella de Montgrí

Living in Torroella de Montgrí

Torroella de Montgrí is a town in the Baix Empordà on the banks of the river Ter, at the foot of the Montgrí massif and its castle. Its old town, with arcaded streets and historic buildings, has a cultural life of its own, and the municipality reaches the coast at L’Estartit, opposite the Medes Islands.

This combination of a historic town, countryside and sea makes Torroella one of the most complete areas of the Costa Brava in which to buy a masia or a house.

L’Estartit, the municipality’s coastal village, offers a beach, a harbour and water sports.

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

What a masia is like in this area

The masies of the Empordà 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 Torroella de Montgrí

Torroella keeps its shops, market, schools and services all year round, and a notable cultural calendar, including its summer music festival. The beaches of L’Estartit, golf in the Baix Empordà and routes through the Montgrí let you enjoy the area in every season.

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

Torroella de Montgrí is a practical choice for living all year round, thanks to its services, and very attractive as a second home, given the nearby beaches and natural areas.
