Why Mas de Xapoli?
A family member fell in love with a nearby property and, on a whim, we came to see the land. We were immediately drawn to the nearby hills, the olive trees and the shore line. From where we were standing, we could see Mas de Xapoli in the distance … little did we know that we would end up owning the finca.
Mas de Xaopli is situated on four hectares of olive trees in the foothills above L’Amettla de Mar. Bounded by a protected forest at the rear, the finca sits under the summit of the nearby Tossal de Montagut (396m) and has a panoramic view of the Mediteranean to the front, just nine kilometers away.
We have renovated the finca, keeping the outside of the house true to the region but with the addition of large roof top terraces. We are gradually modernizing the traditional farmhouse interior into a comfortable summer home.
The living space at Mas de Xapoli consists of 240 m2 on two floors. There are 4 bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, a large living room, a dining room and a kitchen that opens onto a large terrace. Thick stone walls keep the house cool despite the hot Catalan sun and in-floor heating keeps it warm in the winter months. There are ample patios both all around the house as well as the two roof top terraces with built-in lounging areas and access to the second floor. These are great for relaxing and outdoor dining.
The house in completely off the grid and is powered by solar energy feeding storage batteries and supported by a backup generator. Water is supplied from our own well. Wifi acces in available and is provided by a radio antenna connecting to a tower in town.
With members of the local community we have brought the property back to life, revitalizing the olive trees, planting a vegetable garden, orchard and a small vineyard and managing it all organically. We hope like us that you enjoy our summer home and property.
