This 12th-century masia (farmhouse in English) has just been transformed into a sleek, Scandinavian and Spanish-style home containing seven large bedroom suites with private bathrooms, a grand dining room, living room with fireplace and an industrial kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances.

The 12,000-square-foot (1,100-square meter) home is surrounded by working vineyards producing wines that appear on the tables of Michelin-starred restaurants. The farm has made sparkling cava wines for centuries and now also sells the wines of other local grape varieties, along with Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The masia produces about 30,000 bottles of wine a year. In addition, the fruit of 400 olive trees on the property are pressed into award-winning oil.

The masia is adjacent to the small winery town of Masllorenc and is on an ancient Roman road that once linked the south of Spain to Rome. The Penedes region in which it sits is known for its quaint villages, scenic mountains and wineries. It is a short drive to both Barcelona and the Mediterranean, plus only a few hours by plane to Paris, London, Rome and Casablanca.

Not only is the farmhouse property designed as a full-time residence or second home, it could be used as a business and could be rented out for weddings, small conferences, private holidays or even yoga retreats. A database of partnerships has already been assembled to facilitate business expansion.

Puri Mancebo of Inmobiliaria Rimontgo is the listing agent for the property, which is listed at US $14.48 million or 13.5 million euros.
