Description:

If you are looking for the opportunity to acquire a really unique property, this one is for you. The house is built next to an authentic Medieval tower of the XIII Century. The villa is built with the same type of stone preserving the beauty of the construction perfectlu integrated in the environment. Surrounded by a gated private garden, the property is located on a cape by the sea. The sea and the coast can be seen by the house and the terraces. The house is built around an open internal round courtyard and is distributed on two levels. On the ground floor there is a very large lounge with fireplace, a dining room that gives access to the open kitchen, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and an additional bathroom. From the windows of the lounge, dining-room, kitchen, and bedroom a wonderful view on the sea can be enjoyed. The basement includes two additional large bathrooms and 6 rooms. The space offers plenty of opportunities to rearrange the distribution. Thanks to the slope of the garden surface the basement receives a lot of light from the windows. The roof of the house is a very large terrace with breath-taking view on the sea and the coast. The garden is very spacious and offers enough space to add a swimming-pool. The tower is a real Medieval tower built by freemasons. First mentions of it date back 1229. With around 12 m height, the tower can be accessed and used. Considered an asset of national interest, the tower has been privately owned for many years. The tower roof offers a wonderful view on all the coast and the sea. ABOUT THE AREA Altafulla is a municipality in the province of Tarragona, in Catalonia. The town of Altafulla has a beautifully intact old quarter crowned by the Castle of Altafulla, an additional medieval castle on a small promontory overlooking the sea (Castle of the Marquises of Tamarit, not open to the public) and an old fishing quarter dating back to the 18th century along the beach, called "Baixamar" or "Les Botigues del Mar". Beyond the Castle of Tamarit is one of the last remaining forests stretching along the sea in Catalonia, part of which is a small nature preserve (under the Tamarit-Punta de la Móra Special Environmental and Landscape Protection Plan). It is also home to the remains of the Roman Villa of Els Munts, which is part of a larger UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Gaià River "empties" into the sea here, its last stretch being a small nature preserve and haven for songbirds (Gaià River Estuary Wildlife Preserve). Altafulla has one of the highest median household income in the province of Tarragona. It has been spared the massive tourist invasion and has been preserved as a beautiful unspoiled village on one of the most beautiful beaches of the Costa Dorada. Barcelona is only 1 hour away by car or train and the international airport is easily accessible.
