Historic farmhouse in Maresme with a chapel and garden, 25 minutes from Barcelona

Description

A historic estate of great heritage value located in the Maresme region, in a stunning natural setting nestled between the mountains and the beaches, just 25 minutes from Barcelona. A unique property that combines history, architecture, and a wide range of potential uses, whether for residential purposes or for cultural projects and exclusive events, such as weddings and private celebrations.

This exceptional complex dates back to medieval times, having once served as the seat of an ancient Benedictine priory. A remnant of this legacy is the Romanesque chapel of Sant Pere de Clarà, built in the late 9th century and expanded in the 13th and 20th centuries. Both the chapel and the main farmhouse are listed as Cultural Assets of Local Interest (BCIL) and included in the Catalog of Catalan Cultural Heritage, which guarantees their protection and reinforces their unique character in the Maresme real estate market.

The main farmhouse (Can Marc), dating back to the 16th century and restored in 1929 under the direction of architect Rubió i Bellver, features traditional Catalan architecture with a basilica-style floor plan organized into three sections. It has approximately 720 m² of floor space, distributed over two floors plus a fully habitable loft, with eight bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, and bathrooms, high ceilings, and remarkable versatility of use.

The Sant Pere de Clarà Chapel, measuring 84 m², is a heritage site of great significance that combines Romanesque and Gothic elements and offers exceptional distinctive value, making it particularly attractive for celebrations with historical and cultural significance.

The complex is complemented by several outbuildings that expand the property’s potential: old stables and a hayloft with expansion potential, a corral with an upper terrace, an old garage with utility rooms, auxiliary structures, a gazebo next to the natural spring, and a 250 m² portable tent, ideal for outdoor events.

Additionally, the property features three water wells that ensure a substantial water supply.

A one-of-a-kind property in the Maresme region, surrounded by nature, with excellent access to Barcelona, the beaches, and major transportation routes, offering an exceptional combination of history, natural surroundings, and real estate potential.
