Fortified Castle and rural houses with tourist license, Calonge

Interesting hotel investment.
Castle-rural houses for sale on the Costa Brava, in the heart of the well-known Golden Triangle, in the exclusive expansion area of Calonge, a town steeped in history and charm. Just 4 km from the sea, this property is located in a quiet residential area, surrounded by elegant single-family homes, within the established Vescomtat de Cabanyes residential development, which offers all services.

The land covers an area of 11,255 m², classified as urban land for residential and hotel use. It has two direct access points, one via Verona Street and the other via the Romanya road. All are paved, and has a 150-meter frontage facing the Romanyà road and the Vescomtat de Cabanyes residential development.

Inside the estate are the Viscount’s Castle and the old farmhouses that make up the Cabanyes neighborhood, a unique property in the area, listed by the Department of Culture of the Generalitat of Catalonia.

EXISTING BUILDINGS:

A) Castle / Fortified Farmhouse
Built before the 17th century and renovated in 1840, this building has a basement, ground floor, and first floor, as well as an old farmhouse. The constructed area is approximately 1,100 m². The listed building has been restored on the outside and structurally consolidated, including foundations, facades, floors, roofs, and insulation. The interior renovation is partial and multipurpose, with its future use pending, whether as a hotel, corporate or social building, prestigious private residence, or multi-family housing.

The castle has a courtyard enclosed by walls and battlements, as well as a square watchtower, which give it a stately and fortified character. Within the walled enclosure is an additional house in need of restoration (house no. 1), ideal as housing for service or security personnel. This property was the former residence of the Viscount of Vilanova de Cabanyes, a prominent figure in the region, whose lands stretched from Torre Valentina in Playa de Aro to La Bisbal.

There are various publications and books chronicling the Viscount’s public and private life, including his participation in the Carlist Wars, his friendship with General Weyler, governor of Cuba, and darker episodes such as currency counterfeiting and a supposedly false death. Today, local cultural organizations continue to research the castle, the surrounding farmhouses, and the Viscount’s figure, also linking him to General Delgado.

B) Six farmhouses totaling 1,250 m²
Former homes for the Viscount’s workers, these farmhouses, of varying sizes and characteristics, lined up along the road, forming the old village or neighborhood of Cabanyes. All of them require renovation.

C) Newly built 150m² farmhouse
This newly built building will be developed to complement the property’s offering.

The castle has been restored externally and structurally consolidated, with the remaining interior and exterior works pending. These can be adapted to their final use, either as a private residence, a hotel with up to 18 rooms (incorporating two additional houses), or as multi-family housing. The farmhouses require complete renovation, with the exception of the new construction, which is yet to be built.

The property has a town planning certificate dated July 10, 2024.

We currently have a construction project; for more information, please contact Walter Haus.
