In the heart of Baix Empordà (Corçà, Girona), just a few minutes from Púbol – home to the iconic Gala Dalí Castle – stands a unique property that does not go unnoticed: a Catalan farmhouse transformed into a medieval fortress, complete with walls, battlements, a moat and a defensive tower.

Set on more than five hectares of land and offering 528 m² of built space, the property is listed on idealista for €990,000.
The main building was constructed in 1980 on the site of a former farmhouse and designed to evoke the character of a defensive castle. The result is a structure that blends traditional Catalan rural architecture with medieval features – from a merlon wall that ensures privacy to a tower that dominates the estate.
Access already hints at its uniqueness, with a cobbled path flanked by cypress trees leading to the main entrance, where a wrought‑iron bridge crosses the former moat – now converted into a swimming pool.
Outside, the gardens are arranged into different themed areas that evoke various periods and styles. There is also an octagonal wooden gazebo, reached via a small bridge.
The main house is arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes several living rooms, a kitchen and a bedroom with an en‑suite bathroom. The upper floor features three additional bedrooms – two with en‑suite bathrooms and one with a private terrace offering open views of the surroundings and direct access to the pool area.
The property currently requires a full renovation – representing an additional investment for those wishing to restore it. However, its location and distinctive architecture make it a rare opportunity on the local market, particularly for buyers seeking a project with strong character and historical inspiration.
