A Stone House Near Barcelona — Montnegre Natural Park

Turn off the engine and the first thing you notice is what you don’t hear: no city, only wind moving through the trees. This is a private forest estate in Boscos del Montnegre, set within the Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park — recognised as the first ”silent urban park” in Spain — and just under an hour from Barcelona and its international airport.

The house was conceived decades ago as a hand-built refuge among the trees, and it shows in every detail: stone walls, exposed timberwork, shuttered wooden windows, stone fountains scattered across the garden. You arrive beneath a generous tiled canopy and step through a double timber door into a hall that already opens to the garden.

The living room is the beating heart of the home — two cast-iron fireplaces for the long winters, a sculptural wooden staircase, and a glazed sunroom where the mountain seems to pull up a chair beside you. The adjoining dining room frames the landscape through a wide picture window, while the island kitchen opens straight onto the barbecue terrace: here, indoor and outdoor living blur into one. Bedrooms are spread thoughtfully across the floors, each with its own light; the principal suite offers a dressing room and private bath, and the uppermost rooms nestle beneath warm pitched timber ceilings.

The lower level is a house within a house: a vast entertaining lounge built for the kind of celebrations that outgrow ordinary rooms, an authentic excavated wine cellar with its old wooden casks, a stone breakfast nook for unhurried mornings, and a spa with sauna and hydromassage tub. A light-filled bedroom opens fully onto a stone terrace, the forest pressed against the glass.

Outside, the estate unfolds across nearly 4,500 m²: an outdoor pool with a retractable enclosure that extends the swimming season, a squash court crowned by a raised viewing deck where the panorama finally opens over the valley and distant mountains, a reflecting pond, and a substantial outbuilding for garage, workshop and storage. In all, 763.78 m² of built space: 639.08 m² across the main house, the canopy and the annex, plus a 77 m² squash court and a 47.70 m² pool. The home offers 516.52 m² of usable floor area.

What you acquire here is not square metres — it is a way of living. Room enough for an extended family, for several generations under one roof without sacrificing privacy, even for two households or private co-living arrangements, always subject to applicable planning regulations. Total silence, yet Sant Celoni — train, hospital, schools, the AP-7 motorway — lies minutes away, with the Maresme beaches, Girona and the Costa Brava within an easy drive.

For those who want forest, space and stillness without ever feeling isolated.
