Someone is selling 313 acres (127 hectares) of protected forest in Catalonia for €765k ($888k). There's an 18th-century farmhouse in the middle of it.
The estate sits inside Les Gavarres, a protected natural area covering nearly 29,000 hectares. A few properties exist here, but this place has no neighbours and no noise. You can see the Mediterranean and the Medes Islands from here.
The farmhouse is 787 m² (8,470 sq ft), partially restored. Attached to the main house are 400 m² of original structures, currently in ruins, so work is needed. The forest produces cork, with a harvesting management plan already in place.
What it doesn't have is grid electricity. But that's not an issue in 2026: get solar panels, Starlink and run the whole thing off-grid with no bills, no grid, no landlord.
35 minutes from the Costa Brava, 30 from Girona and 1h 20 from Barcelona.
Funny enough, someone reached out to me recently looking for a place where a multi-generational family can live and work - fully self-sufficient, off-grid, doomsday-proof. This might be it.
