  • We found the country house a couple had been searching for weeks in a single visit

    A couple were looking for a country house as a tourism investment near l'Estany de Banyoles: a property in the heart of nature, designed to attract tourists who love sport, tranquillity and the landscape.

    They had been searching online for weeks without success. What was available was either too far from the area they wanted or lacked the potential they were looking for. They then contacted our director, Àngels Sabater, for a personalised consultation.

    We had exactly what they needed: an off-market country house in the precise area they were after, the kind that rarely appears on property portals. It was the first property they visited and they needed to see no more. They purchased the farmhouse and today are developing the tourism project they had in mind.

    It is an example of the advantage of our portfolio: we bring together country house in the Pla de l'Estany and other off-market properties that other agencies do not have, so that the right buyer finds the right property.

    We found the country house of our dreams with them! The service and professionalism of both Pere and Angels are extraordinary. 200% recommended.

  • From search to building works: we supported an international purchase from start to finish

    This transaction brings together everything we do for a buyer. An American couple wanted to relocate to Girona at the start of 2026 and, at the same time, develop a project with investment potential. We found them this 18th-century estate in Sant Julià de Ramís, for €850,000: nearly 6,000 m² of land and two historic farmhouses, ideal for living in one and creating a rural tourism accommodation in the other.

    As international buyers, they needed more than just a property. We had the house ready for their arrival with cleaning, an alarm system and Starlink internet, helped them open a Spanish bank account, and supported them through the first steps of settling in, with a partner solicitor handling the immigration paperwork.

    From there, our renovation expertise came into play: we presented a proposal for the estate, secured project approval and the necessary planning permissions, and building works are about to begin. All from the same team.

    It is an example of our comprehensive approach: we find the property, support the international move, and carry out the renovation that turns an estate into a life and investment project, all through our property portfolio in Girona.

Our property-finding process

We offer a comprehensive, step-by-step property search service designed to save you time, reduce stress, and ensure a smooth, transparent buying experience.

  • We start with a one-to-one conversation

    Our first step is always a personal consultation, to understand what you're looking for and answer any questions about legal, land or residency requirements.

  • We find the perfect property

    We’ll take you to visit the homes that match your vision, and if we don’t have the ideal property already, we’ll search for it through our trusted real estate network.

  • We help secure a fair deal for both parties

    With strong relationships with property owners – who usually sell their masia exclusively with Cottage Proeprties – we help negotiate a price that benefits everyone, avoiding delays and complications.

  • In-house legal support from start to finish

    Our real estate lawyer will handle your reservation or deposit contract, conduct all necessary legal checks, and prepare the final purchase agreement.

  • We stay with with you beyond the sale

    We're by your side from accompanying you to the notary, to switching contracts into your name, registering your new title deed, and finalising residency paperwork.
