Castle From The 10th Century With Stunning Views

”Renovated castle as 2 homes with magnificent views and impressive details”
Situated at the top of a hill with views of the valley, we find this ancient fortified estate, an isolated building made up of two annexed residential structures, a circular tower, and a barn. It has been renovated over the centuries, preserving a rustic and robust style. With 1 hectare of terraces and gardens surrounding the castle, it is a property to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. The views are stunning in all directions: the Guilleries, the Amer valley, and the plain of La Selva. Facing southeast, it enjoys sunlight almost all day.
SCENE
Upon arriving in the village of Amer, in the distance we see this imposing building. It invites us to venture up, to discover the historical wonders it hides. Access is via a well-maintained dirt road that climbs the mountain below the paths; just a few meters from the asphalt, you feel that you have entered another era.
The castle is located 3 km from Amer, 26 km from the city of Girona, and 60 km from the main beaches of the Costa Brava. The nearest airport is Girona, located 20 km away, and Barcelona-El Prat airport is 129 km away.
TOUR
The access road crosses the entrance portal and takes us to the ancient era, in front of the castle. We can access the property through various entrances; we have a ramp in the style of a drawbridge, and a portal with a worked stone arch that leads to an inner courtyard from where we can access the two independent homes. From the south facade, we have a double wooden door that leads to one of the homes, and from the east facade, another traditional entrance, the main access to the second home. It could be said that the property is in the Catalan rustic style with details typical of a castle.
The ground floor is characterized by a large open space, ideal for large gatherings. The first floor consists of a kitchen, a living room, a dining room with a fireplace, and a terrace with views of the Amer Valley. This first floor has a noble character with very high ceilings, large windows, and magnificent stone details. From here, access to the tower is also available.
The second floor accommodates a suite, 3 double bedrooms, and 1 bathroom.
On the south side of the castle, forming part of the same building but with separate access, we have a two-story house and also a barn. The dwelling consists of a kitchen with a fireplace, a dining room, and a living room, two double bedrooms, a loft, a bathroom, and a study. The barn consists of a ground floor with a wooden loft.
