Un Joyau De 1905 : Découvrez La Maison Calado Dans La Tour Noire

Located in the privileged setting of the Torre Negra Rural Park, in Sant Cugat del Vallès, we find Casa Calado, a property with a soul of its own. This 1905 building, the work of the renowned Modernist architect Eduard M. Balcells i Buigas, is a protected asset included in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia, awaiting rehabilitation to restore all its original splendor.
The house is a fascinating testament to the artistic experimentation of the early 20th century. With 704 m² built on a generous 7,029 m² plot, the residence stands out for its ornamental richness: from the intricate ironwork of railings, doors and grilles with braided motifs, to the large windows and majolica details. Elements such as the bases of the pilasters—shaped like fossilized trunks—and the creative use of materials reveal Balcells’ genius in every corner.
The main floor houses the rooms for everyday use (bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms and living rooms), preserving the stately character of the period. On the second floor, the space opens up as an open plan, offering multiple design possibilities and connecting to the iconic tower with a folded Dutch-style roof. This feature is, without doubt, the jewel of the property, offering spectacular panoramic views over the entire Vallès.
Beyond its walls, the property blends into the Torre Negra Rural Park, an agroforestry environment of great ecological value that links the urban center of Sant Cugat with the Collserola Natural Park. Its location is a perfect balance: the absolute peace of a natural setting ideal for hiking, cycling or horseback riding, just minutes from the services, shops and transport connections of Sant Cugat and Barcelona.
Outside, the extensive garden retains elements of great traditional charm, such as a fountain, a pond and a water well, enhancing the bucolic atmosphere of this historic estate. Nearby, the imposing Romanesque-military structure of the Torre Negra (12th century) adds incalculable cultural and historical value to the area.
It is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a restoration project with history, nature, and the prestige of living in a Modernist work of art.

Calado House is located in the Torre Negra Rural Park, a protected agroforestry area of high ecological value that links the Collserola Natural Park with the city. It is an enclave of absolute peace, ideal for switching off and enjoying outdoor sports, from hiking to horseback riding routes.
The best thing about this property is its balance: it offers the privacy of an exclusive natural setting while being right next to the urban center of Sant Cugat del Vallès. This ensures all services, shops, and leisure options are within easy reach, as well as an unbeatable connection to Barcelona thanks to the public transport network (FGC) and fast road access.
It is the perfect place for those seeking the tranquility of the countryside without giving up the comfort and proximity of the big city.
