Sounds of birds, the gentle whisper of the wind, and boundless peace await you here. Nestled in the heart of the forest, this house offers a true escape where freedom is palpable.
This place boasts over 100 years of history, with a story as rich as it is captivating. Once home to mountain dwellers and their animals, it offers a glimpse into rural life of the past, where electricity and heating were luxuries, and winter’s chill was a constant outside the window.
Ingenious solutions were employed: family members lived on the ground floor, while animals were sheltered in the basement, their warmth helping to keep the family cozy. The same stone walls that now exude charm were once shrouded in darkness, their surfaces obscured by the smoke of lamps. Sadly, as time passed and urbanization encroached, the place gradually lost its inhabitants, succumbing bit by bit to the ravages of time.
When Pepona and Jordi undertook the renovation of this place, they did so with love, enlisting the help of the local community to revive its spirit. Their efforts were not in vain. Although no longer home to sheep and cows, it retains echoes of its past, with remnants of its former residents adorning the walls. Original and authentic items imbue the house with a sense of history and character. Concerns about modern amenities such as electricity, heating, and running water need not arise. This place is a self-sustaining haven, powered by solar panels and drawing water directly from mountain springs.
Take a leisurely stroll through the forest, soak in the panoramic views, or simply relax in the backyard, listening to the melodies of the birds. Cozy up by the fireplace and savor the tranquility of this serene retreat.
