The area was designated as urbanization but none of the other parcel buyers ever built a house. So, the Department of Urbanism reverted the land to its initial rustic status, providing very low property taxes. Questioned recently on its constructable future, the Department verbally confirmed its policy to keep it rustic long-term thereby providing a delightful environment for new owners. The house was designed and built by a gifted natural landscape architect in 1974 when searching for a summer holiday home for his family in the unspoilt hills. Using many natural materials and installing the usual services, the house sits beautifully within the natural landscape and is the ideal family home for those wanting to enjoy the Costa Brava. The swimming pool, extensive pool surrounds, and gardens terraces were designed and built by its current owners. Villa Montroc is now waiting for a new nature loving and active family to bring it up to date in the way they wish to. New owners can choose exactly what to do but this might include two additional bathrooms, connecting its renovated kitchen to the living room or just updating the décor. The current owners have had discussions with the local authority who have confirmed that a further 90M2 can be added to the built meters. A draft plan with its environmental aspects would have to be submitted to the local town hall for issuing a building license. The owner can pass over that detailed information to new owners. Accommodation The main floor of the villa houses the kitchen, a large open plan living/dining room with a surrounding terrace and feature open fireplace and a guest toilet room. 4 double bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the main floor, 1 suite double bedroom and bathroom on the upper floor.

The north area has a shaded acacia table set on an historic Catalan stone mill wheel (Catalan solar symbol) and is perfect for lunch. Outside space is a must in Spain and the house benefits from a sheltered Mediterranean-style porch providing plenty of space for relaxing or dining and taking in the views.
