Costa Brava Homes - Property For Sale Costa Brava Spain

Property Types Cost Brava

Grand old Masias for sale. These properties are typical stone-built Catalan farm houses often built centuries ago. They are usually in the countryside, surrounded by farm land, and their own outbuildings. They are in strong demand throughout the region. Many have been fully renovated to provide an elegant modern interior that combines perfectly with the rustic charm of the original. There are very few left to convert, and prices are high.

Villas standing in their own grounds. If it's sea views that you are after, remember that land values are very high, and therefore you will be paying a lot for the privacy afforded by a detached house. Away from the immediate coast, the price premium for this kind of property will be much smaller.

Here this term covers both houses that are in a village or town, and terraced houses that form part of an "urbanisation". In Costa Brava Supply of this kind of property is relatively good, and, since the properties by definition form part of a wider community, there is less to manage if you are not permanently resident in Catalonia. As you would expect, prices are also lower than for the same sized detached villa.

Apartments for sale of all shapes and sizes in most of the towns and villages. They are more common in the larger resort towns than in and around the highly sought after location of Begur and its surroundings, but even there you will find a reasonable selection. Clearly this is the easiest type of property to manage, and they nearly always have a large communal swimming pool.

The Costa Brava, geographically limited by the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, is the name of the Mediterranean coastal territory of Barcelona and Girona. The annual average temperature is 16ºC. Its 124km of beaches are located between Blanes in the south and Pot Bou in the north, at the French border. The modern tourism infrastructure of the area turns the Costa Brava into one of the most important tourism destinations in Spain.

It is one of the most famous Spanish coasts, with great natural beauty, cliffs and romantic small creeks. The Girona coast combines beautiful landscapes and attractive villages. The Costa Brava is a mountainous area, as here several mountain chains end at the sea.

It is a historic place; all sea people, all civilisations came to these shores, and left archaeological vestiges and monuments that increase, with legend and mystery, the charm of these coasts.
