This unique 515 m² stone house is located in the historic heart of Monells, integrated into the emblematic Jaume I square. With a versatile layout that includes an interior courtyard with porch and barbecue area, the property stands out for its excellent condition, vaulted ceilings and stone walls, as well as the possibility of independent use of the upper floor.
This property dating from 1701 stands on a 250 m² urban plot in the centre of one of the most protected and renowned villages in the Empordà. The building, with a continuous exposed stone façade, distributes its 515 m² across a vertical structure of three floors plus a loft. The layout includes 5 double bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, set within a structure of thick stone walls that ensure robustness and natural thermal insulation.
Outdoor living is centred around a private interior courtyard that acts as the heart of the home, protected by high stone walls ensuring complete privacy. This space features a covered porch with a wooden structure, equipped with a dining area and a built-in barbecue with chimney hood. On the upper levels, the house offers a terrace with direct views over the square, as well as two additional terraces connected to the bedrooms.
The main access from the square leads to an entrance hall opening onto the ground floor, which includes a living room, dining room and separate kitchen, where original arches and vaults stand out alongside whitewashed stone walls that preserve architectural integrity and a naturally cool atmosphere. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which houses 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room and the main terrace overlooking the central square of Monells. The layout culminates on the second floor, configured as a self-contained area with its own living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom, as well as a loft/study with panoramic views.
The interior features high-quality materials such as Catalan tuff and wooden flooring in some bedrooms. Exterior carpentry is made of wood with double glazing, ensuring thermal comfort alongside electric radiator heating and split air conditioning units on the second floor and loft. The ground floor preserves exposed stonework, reinforcing the property’s original character.
Located on Plaça Jaume I, the house is part of the medieval ensemble of Monells, an architectural landmark of the Baix Empordà thanks to its exceptional preservation and heritage value. The setting, at the heart of the prestigious "Golden Triangle", offers a highly private atmosphere with immediate access to the Les Gavarres massif. The location allows you to reach Corçà in 4 minutes and the beaches of Begur, Llafranc or Tamariu in 30 minutes, making it an ideal option for those seeking a second residence in the Empordà combining tranquillity with quick access to the best spots on the Costa Brava.
