30 years of experience in buying and selling country houses
Cottage Properties is an estate agency with an exclusive and specialised focus on the sale of masias in Catalonia – also known in English as Catalan farmhouses or Catalan country houses.
Currently, we have the largest portfolio on the market with over 170 masias for sale. Over 30 years of experience, we have sold more than 700 properties with an average sale price above 1 million euros.
Our co-director, Àngels Sabater, is one of the most sought-after figures in this field in Catalonia. In 2025, the broadcaster Canal Decasa sought Cottage Properties to tell the story of the rehabilitation of Mas dels Arbres, where we sold and rehabilitated an abandoned country house into a boutique hotel within the Cap de Creus Natural Park, in Cadaqués.
Real estate and rehabilitation team
Apart from having a team with registered agents, we also have a team of over 70 professionals specialising in masía restoration and rehabilitation in Catalonia.
Having real estate agents and surveyors under one roof allows us to offer a unique service. In our experience, 90% of the country houses we sell require some rehabilitation, so we prepare a basic rehabilitation project and budget for interested buyers, free of charge.
This way, we close masia sales fast and at the best price.

€1.1M masía sold in just one week
We listed this €1.1 million masía in our portfolio—and the very next day, we received a call from a highly interested buyer.
During a consultation with our director, Àngels Sabater, we learned the buyer had been searching for a masía in the Vulpellac area of Baix Empordà—exactly where the property was located. The buyer was serious and had the budget to proceed. All that was needed was the viewing.
Within a week, the buyer had signed the reservation contract to purchase the masía without negotiating the asking price.
Rustic properties don’t always sell this quickly—but in this case, our search engine visibility, precise valuation, and expert negotiation made an extraordinary sale possible.
Selling my masía was a very smooth and quick experience, thanks to the support of Àngels and her team.

"Stalled" masía sold in just 3 months with Cottage Properties
This historic masía in the heart of Alt Empordà, Girona, remained unsold for three years with various real estate agencies. Its €1.5M price, remote location, and need for significant rehabilitation made the sale challenging.
The owner turned to Cottage Properties, and three months later, we sold the masía.
It was a matter of “the stars aligning.” A buyer who had missed out on a similar masía we sold got in touch to view other rustic estates in our portfolio.
But there was another key factor: we are the only luxury estate agency that also restores historic properties. We were able to quickly prepare a fully costed rehabilitation project, assist with legal checks, and close both the sale and a renovation project.
I had a property on the market for a long time with other agencies. I contacted Cottage Properties, and they sold it really quickly. Incredible!
