Caldes de Malavella, Girona, Catalonia, Spain

Designed by renowned architect Gerard Oliver Bofill, La Balca 14 is situated on a slightly elevated plot with excellent views of the Tour course and a small lake. A minimalist style with its clear precise lines gives the property a modern and elegant character whilst a mosaic of birch, willow and holm oaks form a natural garden around the property.

The main rooms are arranged on the ground floor which leads out onto the generous south-facing terrace and private infinity pool. The first floor is reserved exclusively for the master suite whilst the large basement, which provides ample parking, has been cleverly disguised with landscaping that takes advantage of the natural topography of the land.

The house has an equally elegant and sophisticated interior. Porcelain floor tiles in walkways and terraces are combined with the warmth of oak wood flooring in the bedrooms. The bathrooms have high-quality finishes and the spacious kitchen has a large central island which faces the living room and terrace making it perfect for entertaining.

The house also has an advanced home automation control system for lighting, air conditioning, solar protection and security so everything is at your fingertips. The whole house has a false ceiling, which cleverly hides these facilities and the roof incorporates a complete photovoltaic solar installation, in line with current sustainability and energy efficiency standards.
