l Molí de la Capçana


S

tep into the exceptional world of El Molí de la Capçana.


he “Molí de la Capçana” is an old watermill (15th-16th century) originally used for irrigating fruit orchards and grinding corn. The many original grindstones are used on the site. The total surface of the estate is a good 17,5 hectares. About 2 hectares around the house are fully fenced. The property is on the border of “Les Gavarres”, a protected nature reserve of 28,000 m². Additional constructions are therefore prohibited, making it a very peaceful place. The original mill has been totally restored (restoration completed in 2007) to an exceptional standard with antic materials, hand painted Catalan ceilings, important period fireplaces, handsome doors etc.



A

s owner of the property you have unlimited use of water from the river running alongside the property. The property also boasts a lake, which supplies the water needed for the automatic sprinklers and watering system for the gardens. There is a very generous rosegarden filled with David Austin's famous old English roses, and impressive centuries-old olive trees adorn the entrance. A huge amount of planting and landscaping work has been done and the gardens look like they have been there for a long time. Clever night-time lighting of the buildings and the gardens add to the beauty of the property. The surface of the original mill is 1188.67 m2. The surfaces of the other buildings are 817.79 m2 and approx. 200M2.

he main building

The interior of the house is complicated to describe: everything has been thought of, down to the smallest details, which is why the restoration took 4 years to complete, in spite of the important number of workers on site. The house now benefits from all the comforts without sacrificing the authentic atmosphere . The masters bedroom benefits from 2 bathrooms, further washrooms and dressing areas, as well as an enormous dressing room and hanging space. The house has 3 further bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, further washrooms, a library, a very spacious livingroom with an important fire-place and stained-glass windows, a large dining-room, imposing hallways and a line-in kitchen of over 90m2, with a spectacular fire-place which takes almost an entire 9 meter wall. In the old vaulted parts of the mill there are several cellars, one of them a very pleasant wine-cellar. The main house has gas central heating. The heating is mostly floor-heating. The gas deposit is buried. There is a separate gas-oil installation for the other outbuildings. The house is very secure with an alarm system and re-enforced doors and windows.


T

he swimming-pool is located in a very private closed garden and benefits from several covered terraces.


here is an astonishing little chapel with beautiful 16-th century stained-glass windows and a rare antic marble alter with painted religious subjects.
