Historic modernist masia with sea views in Castelldefels, Barcelona
Located in a privileged setting next to the Garraf Natural Park in Castelldefels, this unique modernist masia dating from 1900 was designed by architect Francesc Berenguer i Mestres for the Count Güell, patron of Gaudí. A one-of-a-kind property listed and protected within Catalonia’s architectural heritage.
Masía Poal is set on a sloping plot that organizes the building into distinct volumes: base structure, main floor, and attic, following traditional stately architecture. The property is distributed over ground floor, first floor, and attic, with a stone façade combining beige masonry and finely worked white stone structural elements.
The architecture clearly reflects modernist and Gaudí-inspired influences, featuring funicular arches in the entrance hall, modernist stained glass windows, original staircases, and unique architectural details. The main roof is a steep four-sided structure finished with glazed ceramic “trencadís,” giving the building a distinctive artistic identity.
The house is south-facing and includes an attached wine cellar on the eastern side, as well as an auxiliary building formerly used for farm workers. It also benefits from a private water well, vegetable garden area, and generous outdoor spaces.
The estate features a garden, swimming pool, and parking area, all integrated into a highly private natural environment. Open views of the sea and mountains make this property truly exceptional.
A unique historic masia, ideal for those seeking architectural heritage, nature, and exclusivity near Barcelona.
