Description
Lucas Fox presents one of the most outstanding properties in the Pla de l'Estany area, a magnificent rural stone country house from the 16th century restored with the highest quality finishes. It is currently used as a charming rural hotel. The property is located in a beautiful rural setting with 16 hectares of private land and offers magnificent views of the volcanic hills of Garrotxa, up to the Pyrenees. Right next to the country house, there is a beautiful 12th century chapel for the exclusive use of the owner 364 days a year, except on August 26, when a beautiful public mass is celebrated and attended by the families whose ancestors occupied the area for many generations. Although it enjoys complete privacy, it is by no means isolated, as it is located just 8 kilometers from the town of Banyoles, with its shops, cafes and restaurants and the spectacular lake, host of the rowing competitions at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. . The 650 m house is distributed over three floors. The ground floor offers a large kitchen with central island and stone oven, pantry, large living-dining room with a pleasant stone fireplace and direct access to the front terrace, reception room/library also with access to the terrace and a guest bathroom . On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, two bathroom (one with a bathtub) and a large study/office, with the possibility of converting into an additional bedroom . The second floor houses the main bedroom with dressing room, built-in wardrobes, fireplace and private bathroom with hamman and marble bathtub. The bedroom has magnificent views of the Pyrenees. The country house has an exterior terrace, a fantastic swimming pool, a wonderful garden and a wine cellar. Among its features, it offers underfloor heating (optional diesel and/or wood combustion systems), connection to the electrical network and water from a private well. Restoration of the property was completed in June 2010. It would be a wonderful main residence or holiday home in one of the most beautiful areas of the province of Girona.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Spain will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £32,313 more.
