Majestic Farmhouse in the province of Girona

Mas Caterina is a traditional farmhouse located in Madremanya, a picturesque municipality in the Gironés region, Girona, Catalonia. This place is characterized by its medieval charm and its natural environment, becoming a perfect refuge to enjoy the tranquility of the Catalan countryside, with the advantage of being just 15 minutes from Girona city and 20 minutes from the Costa Brava. The farmhouse maintains traditional Catalan architecture and is a historic estate that includes a fortified defense tower dating back to 1700. This tower is an outstanding example of the defensive architecture of the time, possibly used for protection against invaders and surveillance of the region. Over time, it has been updated by different owners. The main house, with approximately 600 square meters built, is complemented by several annexes and sits on a vast expanse of fourteen hectares of land. The farmhouse combines stone and wood elements that reflect the history and heritage of the region. It has been carefully restored to preserve its historic character while adding modern amenities.
