Baix Empordà
Luxury real estate in Baix Empordà, Girona
The Baix Empordà is Girona’s most coveted countryside: a gentle landscape of farmland, vineyards and stone-built villages between the city and the Costa Brava, where restored masias (Catalan farmhouses) and country estates form one of Spain’s finest rural luxury markets.
This is the Empordà that draws an international, design-literate set: a soft, cultivated landscape dotted with medieval hamlets, Michelin-starred restaurants, cycling routes and emerging wineries, all within easy reach of the beaches and of Girona’s airport and station.
The signature property is the masia — a centuries-old stone farmhouse, often with land, a pool and outbuildings, restored to a high contemporary standard. The market also includes village houses and new country villas. Provenance, land, privacy and the quality of restoration are the principal drivers of value, and the best estates are genuinely scarce.
For buyers, the Baix Empordà offers space, beauty and authenticity at the top of the rural market — a country home with character, within a short drive of the coast and the city.
