Comprehensive support for buying a property in Spain

Finding the perfect masia on the first attempt

This couple were searching for a property to rent out as a tourist investment in the Pla de l’Estany region, near the famous Estany de Banyoles. They wanted a charming masía — something that would appeal to visitors looking for peace, nature and proximity to outdoor activities.

They had spent weeks searching online but couldn’t find anything suitable. The properties on the market were either too far away or lacked the potential they had in mind. That’s when they contacted Àngels Sabater for a personalised consultation.

Cottage Properties had just the thing: an off-market, unique masía located in exactly the right area. It was the first property the couple viewed… and they didn’t need to see another.

They immediately fell in love with the estate and its investment potential. Finding such a specific kind of property in such a sought-after location isn’t easy — but Cottage Properties made it happen.

A dream home where they least expected it

This couple, already approaching retirement, had a very clear idea: they wanted to buy a spectacular farmhouse in the Baix Empordà region of Girona. It's one of the most desirable areas in Spain — but also one of the most difficult to buy.

For months, we visited all the properties that fit the brief, but the couple felt they hadn't yet found their ideal home. That's when Àngels Sabater, director of Cottage Properties, proposed a different approach.

The couple insisted on a house that had already been renovated. But Àngels introduced them to an old stone house in need of renovation in a charming medieval village. It had a garden, an old barn, and panoramic views of the mountains and the Baix Empordà region.

They fell in love with the place. They decided to buy it and continue to work with Cottage Properties for a rehabilitation project.

The process wasn’t exactly what they had imagined. But we learned something important: your dream home doesn’t always arrive the way you imagined it—sometimes, it has to be built. Together, we made it a reality.

Cuando la masia que buscas parece imposible… pero no lo es

This buyer had a very clear goal: to find a rustic farmhouse in his hometown of Vic, Catalonia. His dream was to return to his roots, in a property with history, character and an exact location.

He found Cottage Properties online and, after learning about our specialism in farmhouses and luxury estates, presented us with what seemed like an impossible mission. It's worth noting that Vic is a highly sought-after city, and the type of property he was looking was like a needle in a haystack.

We didn't have any similar properties in our portfolio at the time. But that didn't stop us.

We activated our network of local contacts and collaborated with agencies in the Vic area. Thanks to this collaboration, we found exactly what he wanted. At Cottage Properties, we have one of the best portfolios of farmhouses, castles and luxury estates in Spain. But if we don't have the property you're looking for, we'll find it. No matter what it takes.
