BARNES presents an exceptional historic estate occupying a truly unique position directly beside the iconic Lake Banyoles, surrounded by one of the most remarkable natural landscapes in the province of Girona.
Set within the privileged environment of Pla de l'Estany and overlooking the lake and its protected wetlands, the property offers a rare combination of heritage, nature, privacy and accessibility.
The historic Catalan masia is currently undergoing restoration and is offered for sale together with an existing project conceived to give the estate a new life as a distinctive hospitality destination. The vision provides an exceptional foundation for the development of a boutique hotel centred around sport, health, wellbeing and nature, while preserving the architectural character and identity of the original estate.
Its location makes the estate particularly compelling for a hospitality concept linked to cycling and active tourism. Girona has established itself internationally as one of Europe's leading cycling destinations, attracting professional athletes, teams and cycling enthusiasts from around the world. Banyoles complements this ecosystem with an extraordinary natural setting and a long-standing sporting tradition encompassing cycling, triathlon, rowing, swimming and running.
Successful hospitality concepts dedicated to cycling and active lifestyles are already operating in the region, demonstrating the growing demand for accommodation that combines high-quality hospitality with specialist sporting services, recovery, nutrition and wellness. The property offers the opportunity to take this concept considerably further through the combination of an exceptional historic building and an irreplaceable lakeside location.
Beyond cycling, the estate lends itself naturally to a broader destination focused on wellbeing and slow living: a place for training camps, retreats, outdoor activities, gastronomy and experiences connected with the surrounding landscape.
Strategically located approximately 20 km from Girona, with convenient connections to Barcelona, the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees, the property combines the feeling of being immersed in nature with excellent accessibility.
More than a restoration project, this estate represents the opportunity to create a landmark hospitality destination in the province of Girona—a property capable of becoming a reference for a new generation of travellers seeking sport, health, nature and authentic experiences in an extraordinary setting.
A unique investment opportunity where location, heritage and an increasingly established international sporting destination come together in a property that would be extremely difficult to replicate.
