Description: Masia Can Rosselló de Munt is a large stone built masia, originally dating from the XIVth century. It was rebuilt in the XVIIIth century and is situated in a privileged location in the spa town of La Garriga. The property was fully renovated 10 years ago by the current owners with the intention of using it as a restaurant. It has been renovated sympathetically using original materials and is generally in a very good condition. There are loads of original features – vaulted ceilings, arches, beams, ceramic tiles, carpentry and stonework. The masia requires some cosmetic updating – depending on the proposed use it will require new kitchens and bathrooms. There are 2 entrances to the property which is set in a large plot of approximately 2000m2. There are several terraces and a swimming pool. With minimum effort and outlay this property could be transformed into an excellent home, summer retreat or business.
Accommodation: The main house is arranged over 3 separate floors and there are numerous large reception rooms and multiple bedrooms, many of which are en suite. There is also a large separate annex which consists of several vaulted rooms with a separate bodega channelled into the rock. There are gardens, split into several terraces, and a swimming pool.
Planning: There are existing plans, approved by the local council, to split the masia into five luxury 3 bedrooms apartments, each with their own large private outdoor area: 1) 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms – constructed area of 221m2; 2) 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms – constructed area of 302m2; 3) Duplex: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms – constructed area of 256m2; 4) Duplex: 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms – 548m2; and 5) 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms - 414m2. Alternatively, we have been assured that there would be no problems obtaining permission to use the property as a hotel / restaurant.
Location: La Garriga is an extremely pretty spa town with some excellent modernist architecture. At the turn of the century it was one of the most favoured locations for wealthy Catalan families to own second residences and consequently there are an incredible amount of large modernist townhouses, many designed by the modernist architect Manuel Joaquim, Raspall. There is a 155 room 5* spa hotel – Gran Hotel Balneario Blancafort and several extremely good restaurants. Barcelona is just over 30 minutes by car or 25 minutes by train into the central station, Placa Catalunya. The Montseny natural park is a short drive away – with opportunities for walking, horseback riding, climbing and other extreme sports. There are some excellent golf courses in the area, including the Club de Golf de Muntanya. The Formula 1 circuit is a 10 minute drive away. Barcelona 30 km away.
