Fortified castle and farmhouses with tourist licenses, Calonge.
An exciting hotel investment opportunity. A castle-farmhouse for sale on the Costa Brava, in the heart of the renowned 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 and within the established Vescomtat de Cabanyes development, which offers all amenities. The land covers an area of 11,255 m², zoned for residential and hotel use. It has two direct access points, one via Verona Street and the other via the Romanya Road. Both are paved, and the property boasts a 150-meter frontage facing the Romanyà Road and the Vescomtat de Cabanyes development. Within the estate lies 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 house for the tenant farmers. The constructed area is approximately 1,100 m². The building is listed, its exterior has been restored, and its structure has been reinforced, 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 an enclosed courtyard with 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 to be restored (house no. 1), ideal as accommodation 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. Several publications and books recount 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 counterfeiting and a supposed faked death. Today, local cultural organizations continue to investigate the castle, the surrounding farmhouses, and the figure of the Viscount, also linking him to General Delgado. B) Six farmhouses totaling 1250 m² Former dwellings of the Viscount's workers, these farmhouses vary in size and style, aligned along the road, forming the old village or hamlet of Cabanyes. All of them require renovation. C) New farmhouse of 150m² This newly constructed building will be developed to complement the estate's offerings. The castle has been restored externally and structurally reinforced. Interior installations and work are still pending, and these can be adapted to its final use, whether as a private residence, a hotel with up to 18 rooms (incorporating two additional houses), or multi-family housing. The farmhouses require complete renovation, except for the new one, which is yet to be built. The estate has a planning certificate dated July 10, 2024. The price does not include taxes or expenses associated with the sale, such as notary fees, property registration fees, administrative fees, and taxes (Property Transfer Tax, VAT, and Stamp Duty, as applicable).
