The municipality of Celrá is located northeast of the comarca of Gironés. It limits to the north with the river Ter, to the south and west with Gerona and by the east with the municipalities of Bordils and Juia Like other towns in the region, it enjoys a mild climate, with not too cold winters and dry, hot summers The population, has known throughout the last centuries different industries that have contributed to its economic development. The most important were: kilns of quicklime and brickworks. Until the mid-twentieth century, quicklime was a material widely used in construction.
Its fundamental use was to join materials, revoke and whitewash walls. Currently there are the remains of four kilns of quicklime. The construction materials, bricks and tiles, were manufactured in six brickworks, of which currently only the chimney of one of them remains. In this natural environment and preserving the "glamor" of what it was, we find this wonderful Provencal farmhouse from the 17th century. You can still see in their paderes, the splendor of what this wonderful farm had to be. We are talking about a main house of about 800m2, plus the house of the Masoveros ( house keepers) , which together with the hayloft and the warehouses would have the capacity of 800m2 more. The farm, surrounded by native forests, consists of private gardens, in which there are two rafts with a large capacity to house water, still preserved from that period. The property also has fields of cultivation, which at the time of more algidity of the house, were in full swing. Because of the characteristics of the time, they would be ideal for planting olives and vines and for exploiting them.
The house, which needs restoration, has ornate ceilings, and many of its walls preserve original paintings of the time under the painting. Whoever appreciates the art of the SXIX, can enjoy this wonder and recover part of the story. It is worth highlighting the "Vueltas catalanes" on its roofs. Note the peculiar stone wall that surrounds the entire estate. It is an ideal house to convert it into a luxury country house or a small little hotel with all its charm. Its proximity to Girona (less than 15 km) makes it a unique piece due to its proximity to the Girona Airport and the AVE.
