Family farm in the heart of Penedes
Built at the beginning of the 20th century, its destination was the summer resort of a large family from Barcelona. But everything changed after the war.
Colonial or Indian style
Very much in keeping with the style of the time in which it was built, the house shows some typical elements of colonial properties also called Indians. Reflection of the colonial bourgeoisie that returned to their places of origin where they built their dream house. With an incredible size, the house offers more than 250 useful square meters per floor. In addition to other accessory constructions for the house and for the field.
Converted into a hangar during the Civil War
Next to the house, there was built a large warehouse with the aim of converting it into a winery that would serve all the grapes that would be taken from the vineyards. And thus, create your own brand of wine.
However, during the Spanish Civil War, Republican soldiers and anarcho-syndicalist militias took over the place and converted the main house into the barracks for the aviation squadron stationed there. The fields in front of the house became the landing place for the planes that bombed during the Battle of the Ebro. The warehouse, whose main façade offers a large door and an arch-shaped window, was completely opened to allow the planes to pass inside.
A house divided into 6 apartments
After the war, the house was abandoned for a time, until one of the heirs of the original owner rescued it and converted it into his main home with the idea of working the fields. The current owners were born there, 6 brothers who shared the house as they grew up. Giving rise to 6 apartments inside, some more differentiated than others. Something offered by the large size of the house.

Fantastic views of the vineyards
