Nestled in a serene valley in the low mountains of Catalonia, lies The Haven, a 5-hectare finca that embodies the essence of peace and tranquility. As you step onto the property, you are greeted by the neat Catalan farm, laid out to various vegetable gardens nurtured by a plentiful irrigation system. Located just 900 meters from the edge of the charming town of Vilalba dels Arcs, Haven Finca offers a secluded home in the countryside, where a self-sufficient and off-grid lifestyle beckons.

The centrepiece of this idyllic lifestyle is a pretty farmhouse, its charm amplified by a covered terrace that wraps around two sides. The terrace provides shelter from the sun's rays at different times of the day, offering a vantage point to behold the vegetable gardens  and the towers of the picturesque village in the distance. Sitting here, in the gentle afternoon breeze, one can't help but feel the harmonious influence of the nearby Buddhist temple, as butterflies and bees gracefully dance amidst the flowers and crops.

The bountiful land of Haven Finca produces a rich tapestry of fruits, including luscious plums, figs, apples and pears. Alongside the neat almond groves you will discover terraces of olive trees that ascend the mountainside, leading to a forest. In this haven of nature's abundance, self-sufficiency becomes a way of life.

Despite its close proximity to Vilalba dels Arcs, a mere three minutes by car or a pleasant 15-minute stroll, The Haven's location at the end of a secluded track ensures that the sounds of daily life are but a whisper. Occasionally, the trundling of a tractor serves as a gentle reminder of the world beyond, harmonising with the peaceful rhythm of the land.

Entering the farmhouse, you are greeted by an airy high-ceilinged room. Currently arranged with a comfortable bed and a sitting area, this room serves as a sanctuary for relaxation. A wood stove, fuelled abundantly by the forests on the property, adds warmth and coziness to the space. A door leads to a shower room and there is a small kitchen tucked around the corner. Additional rooms include a utility room equipped with washing and storage facilities, as well as a study / lounge that can be easily transformed into a separate bedroom. Fast internet connection is available for those occasions when you need to keep in touch with the outside world.

For guests seeking respite in this tranquil oasis, a cabin awaits along a short path from the main house. It offers a peaceful retreat amidst the gardens for spring and autumn guests.

Those gardens, depending on the season, host neat rows of tomatoes, aubergines, garlic plants, onions, sweet corn, potatoes and peppers. Glimpsed beyond, a van, artfully transformed into a tool shed, adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. It exemplifies the harmonious blend of practicality and creativity that defines life at The Haven. The gardens around the house is fenced, meaning your pets can join you too.

If you are looking for a peaceful, intimate home that embraces the beauty of nature and provides opportunities for relaxation and gardening within a manageable plot, you have found your haven at The Haven. Live a lifestyle of tranquility, self-sufficiency, amongst the enchanting allure of the Spanish countryside.
