Medieval Castle for Sale in Sellui, Lerida, Spain

A Unique Castle for Sale in the Pyrenees

Castell de la Crua is a late medieval tower castle at the head of a beautiful small valley in the Spanish Pyrenees. It is most unusual for the area in being in the countryside yet 1/2 km. from a village. The views are incredible and wildlife is abundant. Skiing and St. Maurici National Park are an hour away as are Val de Boi (Hotspring Spa and Romanesque World Heritage sites) and the Andoran frontier. Barcelona Airport 3 hrs, Girona Airport 3.5 hrs, Lerida Airport (opens 2010) 1.5 hrs. Permit for helicopter landing on the property applied for.

The property would interest anyone with a love of nature and desiring quiet. A pair of lammergiers nest in the valley. Almost any imaginable mountain sport can be practised. The nearby Noguera Pallaresa is Spain's premier white-water river. Shooting rights (mostly wild boar) are available by separate treaty.

The castle was restored from a ruinous state in 2000 to the highest specification by a specialist architect for his own use. It is built of stone with 4 floors and a roof of pink roman pantiles: there is a small lift. Dining/ sitting room with adjacent kitchen. Library. Mirador/ Belvedere.
