Contemporary energy efficient villa just 150 metres from the beach in Sant Pol de Mar, near Barcelona.

The villa is currently in the final stage of construction. Façade finishing works have commenced and interior works are underway. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a newly built detached residence in one of the most picturesque areas near Barcelona, just a few minutes’ walk from the sea, the promenade, public transport connections and the historic centre of Sant Pol de Mar. In terms of location, views, extensive level grounds, technical standards and Passivhaus based energy efficiency, the project has virtually no comparable alternatives in the current market.

The residence offers four bedrooms. The principal suite, measuring 41 sqm, is located on the upper floor and includes a bedroom, dressing room, en suite bathroom and private terrace. At the heart of the home is an impressive 58 sqm living space combining the lounge, dining area and fully fitted kitchen with island. The 18 sqm kitchen connects to the 40 sqm lounge and dining area through an elegant architectural archway that visually separates the kitchen from the spaces dedicated to relaxation and entertaining while preserving an excellent sense of openness. The lounge and one of the bedrooms on the main floor enjoy direct access to the terrace and garden. A spacious 10 sqm entrance hall with a floor to ceiling window welcomes the home with abundant natural light from the moment of arrival. The residence includes three full bathrooms and a guest cloakroom. All bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes. A 14 sqm plant room. Garage for two vehicles. Sea views can be enjoyed from all bedrooms, the lounge, the entrance hall with its floor to ceiling window and the terraces. The completely level 743 sqm plot is a genuine rarity on the characteristically sloping Maresme coastline and provides an exceptional level of comfort in the use of outdoor spaces.

Regardless of the season or weather conditions outside, the interior maintains tranquillity, stable temperatures and a consistently high level of comfort. This is achieved through the application of Passivhaus principles designed to create a healthy, comfortable and highly energy efficient living environment. The advanced mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery ensures a constant supply of fresh air. The integrated smart home system monitors CO₂ levels, while filtered air optimised for temperature and humidity is continuously supplied to the living spaces. Before entering the habitable areas, the air is filtered to remove pollution, dust, pollen and other unwanted particles. As a result, the house maintains a healthy indoor climate and optimal conditions for everyday living. Thanks to its exceptionally low energy consumption, comfortable indoor conditions are maintained throughout the year with minimal energy demand, even during periods of extreme weather. These stable operating conditions also contribute to preserving finishes, building services and the long term performance of the property.

The project was developed on the basis of detailed energy modelling. Compliance with Passivhaus requirements and construction quality are monitored by an auditor authorised by the Passivhaus Institut in Germany. Triple glazed windows with argon filled cavities help reduce heat loss while enhancing acoustic comfort. The airtight entrance door contributes to minimising heat loss and forms part of the building’s highly efficient thermal envelope. Adjustable external blinds with rotating louvres allow effective control of solar gains according to the time of day and season. A five zone climate control system enables independent temperature regulation in different parts of the house according to the preferences of individual family members. The integrated and expandable smart home system allows remote monitoring and management of building systems from virtually anywhere in the world. The photovoltaic installation generates its own electricity and further enhances the property’s energy independence.

Particular attention has been devoted to selecting materials and solutions capable of retaining their aesthetic and functional relevance for decades. Finishes include natural ceramics, marble, timber and other durable materials whose quality and appearance are not dependent on short lived design trends. During the development of the project, priority was given not to following changing fashions or tying the architecture to any particular style, but to creating a harmonious environment based on a timeless design philosophy. This approach helps avoid the aesthetic ageing of both interiors and exteriors, maintains excellent long term adaptability and supports the property’s investment appeal over time.

The landscape concept is based on authentic Mediterranean plant species that have shaped the natural landscapes of both shores of the Mediterranean for centuries. All planting is selected with regard to the local climate, resistance to drought conditions and the ability to integrate naturally into the surrounding environment. An additional advantage is the property’s private 80 metre deep well with official authorisation to extract up to 372 cubic metres of water annually for garden irrigation. In a part of the Mediterranean characterised by limited rainfall, this allows the garden to be maintained in excellent condition independently of external water supplies and their associated costs.

The villa is situated in a part of Sant Pol de Mar where the landscape unfolds towards the sea in a natural amphitheatre formation. Together with the adjacent natural park, this creates a distinctive local microclimate and exceptionally comfortable living conditions thanks to protection from most of the prevailing winds in the area. The picturesque beaches of El Morer and Cala Roca Grossa are only a few minutes away on foot and rank among the most attractive coastal settings in this part of Catalonia. El Morer beach, with its characteristic rock formations, is one of the most recognisable natural landmarks of the area and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful corners of this part of the Catalan Mediterranean.

The location combines the advantages of seaside living with convenient access to Barcelona, Girona and other major regional centres. Within a few minutes’ walk are the beach, seafront promenade, restaurants, the historic centre of Sant Pol de Mar and the EUHT StPOL University School of Hospitality and Tourism. Sant Pol de Mar is renowned for its gastronomic traditions and fine dining establishments. Nearby are also local bus services and the R1 railway line with direct connections to Plaça Catalunya. A private international school is approximately seven minutes away by car. A yacht club and golf course can also be reached within a few minutes. Girona Costa Brava Airport is approximately 35 minutes away, while Barcelona El Prat Airport can be reached in around 58 minutes.

The Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park, with its extensive network of walking, running and cycling routes, lies immediately beside the property. The Camí Català, the Catalan branch of the Camino de Santiago, passes directly in front of the house. Mediterranean woodland, the coastline and the area’s extensive range of services create an environment rarely found on the coast, combining an active lifestyle, close contact with nature and a high standard of everyday comfort.

The project has its own dedicated website containing detailed architectural, technical and operational information, together with floor plans, documentation and downloadable materials. The combination of location, proximity to the sea, infrastructure and construction quality creates strong rental potential. Direct sale from the developer, with a proven track record in the delivery of highly energy efficient homes. The company developed the second certified Passivhaus Premium home in Catalonia and the eighth in Spain. For further information about the project, please contact our specialists.
