description

Located in the idyllic Vall de la Torre valley in the Benissanet area, this farm has around 4.7 hectares of land with vines, olive and pine trees, and the ruins of a large historic farmhouse and outbuildings to rebuild. Water is via the property’s own well and access is via a well-maintained unsurfaced track. Corbera d’Ebre: 7.6 km; Mora d’Ebre, River Ebro: 11.5 km; Benissanet: 12.3 km; Mora la Nova, rail link to Barcelona and Sarragossa: 14.8 km; beaches (l’Hospitalet de l’Infant): 44 km; Reus airport: 63.5 km; Barcelona airport: 150 km. Rural-zoned plot with an area of 47.325 m2 according to Catastro data, with 27.819 m2 of hillside pine forest, and 19.056 m2 of flat land planted with vines and cherry, olive and almond trees, all now overgrown and in need of some attention. - Water supply via the property’s own well, no mains electricity - A stream (the ‘Barranc de la Torre’, dry for part of the year) runs along the west side of the property - Vehicle access via an unpaved track in fair condition - Extremely quiet rural location in the Serres de Pàndols-Cavalls PEIN protected wildlife area. The valley is of historical (Spanish Civil War) and archaeological interest. Ruins of an historic three-storey farmhouse (the ‘Mas de Guiams’) with a total constructed area of around 290 m2. Ground floor: 110 m2, first floor: 110 m2, 2nd floor 70 m2; all areas approximate.   Requires rebuilding —it may be possible to retain some of the original stone walls— and can be reconstructed to the existing footprint and volume, in accordance with municipal and regional planning regulations.  In addition to the farmhouse there are the ruined remains of what appears to have been a stable and livestock enclosure, with an area of approximately 160 m2. Some years ago, the owners had an architect’s project and plans prepared for a rural tourism project and a building licence was granted. Mas de Guiams appears in Benissanet council’s catalogue of rural buildings, which generally facilitates planning permission. Ideal for a rural tourism project and in an idyllic location, this is a rare opportunity to reconstruct a farmhouse of this size. Contact us for full details!
