Collbato, Catalonia 08293

Some houses are simply large. This one is meant to be lived in: a 2,276 sqm plot in Collbató, at the foot of the Montserrat massif, with garden, terrace, swimming pool and glazed porch. The property totals 936 sqm built, of which 446 sqm are usable living space. The balance covers the basement, garage, porches and terraces - real, usable surface rather than figures on a plan. The house is arranged over ground floor, first floor and basement, all served by an internal lift. An unusual feature in a detached home, one that keeps it comfortable at any age and makes it a long-term proposition. In the living areas, the lounge and dining room open through wide glazed doors and lead straight onto the glazed porch, usable year-round. The kitchen is separate and fully fitted. The sleeping areas offer 5 double bedrooms, 4 of them en suite. Six bathrooms in total, spread throughout the house. The basement is fitted out as a gym and games room, alongside a closed garage for 4 cars and generous storage. Outside, the garden is mature and laid out in several seating areas to follow the sun, around the pool. Built in 2010 and carefully maintained: home automation, central underfloor heating, double glazing, solar panels and video entryphone. The house has no air conditioning. Energy rating D (131 kWh/sqm year) and D (27 kg CO2/sqm year). Collbató borders the Montserrat Natural Park, has direct access to the A-2 and lies 40 minutes' drive from Barcelona. The village keeps its school, everyday services and local shops; the Salnitre caves and hiking trails start at the door. Video and virtual tour available to view it before you travel. Agency fees are included in the published price: the buyer pays no commission to SAFTI. The price excludes ITP, notary fees, land registry and gestoría costs.
