Can Merla, fully renovated 1853 farmhouse
Magnificent rustic property with 18 hectares of land.
Fabulous rural property located in the hills of Santa Pellaia, in the municipality of Cruïlles. Can Merla is a private paradise, away from noise and surrounded by peace and quiet.
The estate consists of two floors of approximately 250 m2 each, plus 80 m2 used for storage. The property offers all current comforts thanks to the full renovation carried out 15 years ago. The 6 bedrooms all have en-suite bathrooms, along with two guest toilets. The spaces are spacious and comfortable throughout.
On the ground floor, we find a large living-dining room, a spacious modern rustic-style kitchen with a 5-burner hob, a meeting or games room, a TV room, an office, an independent apartment with an open-plan kitchen and sleeping area, and a guest toilet.
The first floor is laid out with a large hallway with high ceilings and skylights, 5 suites with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes. Each bedroom has its own style and is decorated with souvenirs brought by the owner from her travels around the world.
The entire farmhouse retains its authentic stone walls in plain view. As for the views, from the west-facing front terrace, the panorama stretches to Montseny, 40 kilometers away, covering the entire region.
Can Merla is an self-sufficient property. It has an electricity supply thanks to a recently installed park of 36 solar panels and new batteries, which would allow, if desired, air conditioning to be installed in the house. In addition, it has two wells that supply a 45 cubic meter tank, ensuring water for the house all year round. In the event of a power failure, it also has a generator and a gas tank for central heating.
The buyer of this estate should value tranquility and privacy. To reach the entrance of the property from Cassà de la Selva, it takes about 7 minutes by road and between 8 and 10 minutes along a perfectly suitable dirt track for SUVs, with no need for a 4x4.
In addition, the property produces between 2,000 and 2,500 liters of olive oil each year, and cork for the production of bottle stoppers every 5 years. Finally, it has been confirmed with the town hall that the license for tourist use housing could be granted again.
