At the Top of Fonteta, Empordà: The Story of Two Families

Some houses are much more than just real estate. When we think of a “second residence,” many of us recall that childhood vacation home — the family retreat where we escaped the fast pace of the work year.

Over time, these places become essential spaces for the families who inhabit them, and every decision — from construction to the smallest interior design detail — tells part of their story and family life.

This renovated farmhouse, located at the highest point of one of the most charming villages in the Baix Empordà, is a perfect example of how homes fill with memories generation after generation. The grandparents who planted the first trees, the parents who designed the rooms, the children who grew up within its walls — every corner of this property holds a meaning, a memory, a story.

At HEST, we deeply value these kinds of unique properties. We understand that selling a home like this is not just parting with a property: it’s closing an important chapter of family life. That’s why it’s truly moving to find a family capable of falling in love with such a home — not only with the beauty of its walls and gardens, but with the life that pulses in every corner. This is exactly what happened with the foreign family who fell for this farmhouse in Fonteta. For them, it wasn’t just the charm of the estate — it was the emotional essence that lives within it. In these cases, the transition between owners is not a goodbye, but a continuation: the experiences of one family make way for those of another, keeping alive what truly makes a house special — its stories and lived moments.
