Over 700 historic properties sold
Cottage Properties is recognised throughout Catalonia as the leading real estate agency for the sale of masías (Catalan farmhouses)
While we hold the largest portfolio of masias for sale – more than 170 currently – we find many similarities between masías and castles for sale in Catalonia. Some are almost indistinguishable, such as masías with defensive towers. But most importantly, our 88,100+ annual website visitors look for the same features found in both a masía and a castle: stone architecture, history, and the charm of Catalan rural heritage.
That visibility among the right type of buyers is one of the main reasons to include your castle within our portfolio.
Real estate and rehabilitation team
Our co-director, Àngels Sabater, is one of the most respected voices in the heritage real estate sector. She has appeared on television programmes such as Canal Decasa, and was recently invited by TV3 to share the story of the sale of Can Morgat in the Pla de l’Estany.
Cottage Properties is so sought-after not only because we market masías and castles, but also because we accompany the buyer through the entire restoration process. In 90% of sales, the property requires some level of rehabilitation, and our team provides a basic restoration project and cost estimate free of charge.
This combination is the key that has enabled us to sell more than 700 historic properties in Catalonia, with an average sale price exceeding one million euros.

We sell a 14th country house to renovate in Rupit, Osona
Success story of a country house selling service for an owner in Osona, Barcelona.
We exclusively managed the sale of this 14th century country house in Rupit: over 1,200 m² of built space across 22 hectares, at the top of La Solana, almost two hours from Barcelona and in need of a full renovation.
It was a difficult property to sell. Due to its size, its isolation and the scale of work required, the buyer needed to have a very specific profile: investment capacity and a project befitting the estate.
We found them. An investor came across the listing through our presence on the main property portals and saw its potential to develop a retreat and events space with a rural tourism licence, making use of the land, the various outbuildings and the 18th century cottage.
Àngels Sabater led the negotiation through to completion. An example of how our visibility in search engines, our specialisation in country houses in Osona and a bespoke selling service can close the sale of a challenging property.

Masia worth 1.1 million euros gets reservation contract signed in one week
Success story of a masia sales service for an owner in the Baix Empordà.
As soon as we published this masia in the historic centre of Vulpellac on our portfolio, valued at €1,100,000, interest was immediate. We listed it on a Friday in June 2025 and, the following Monday, a buyer had already contacted us wanting to view it.
In a consultation with our director, Àngels Sabater, we understood that the buyer had been searching for a masia in the Baix Empordà area for some time and had both the seriousness and the budget to close the deal. All that remained was the viewing.
That same week, on the Friday, the buyer signed the reservation contract to acquire the property – a village house of 319 m² built, with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a garden and a swimming pool – without requesting any reduction on the asking price.
Rural properties do not always sell at this pace. In this case, our visibility in search engines, our accurate valuation and our negotiation facilitated an extraordinary transaction.
