Description
Can you imagine living inside a Modernist canvas, with the absolute freedom of a complete single-family home and a private garden where time seems to stand still?
Engel & Völkers has the privilege of presenting to you one of the most unique, authentic, and special properties in the area. Majestically located in Anselmo Clavé Square, in the heart of the protected core of the historic Colònia Güell (Santa Coloma de Cervelló), this magnificent 1894 estate is not just a home; it is a living part of the history of Catalan architecture.
Strolling through this setting is to breathe in the legacy of Antoni Gaudí and his closest circle of architectural collaborators (such as Francesc Berenguer or Joan Rubió), who brought this industrial colony to life by designing residential spaces for the professionals and intellectuals of the time. Living here means taking up the baton of that bohemian, creative, and inspiring atmosphere.
Absolute privacy and limitless space
The first thing that will captivate you about this property is its exceptional character: it is registered as a single built plot, completely unaffected by horizontal property (condominium) regime. Here there are no shared areas or community decisions; you enjoy total independence on a 378 m2 plot, something virtually impossible to find in a historic center.
The home offers an impressive 492 m2 built area according to the Cadastre (398 m2 of living space in the Land Registry excerpt, not including its generous outdoor areas), laid out in spacious rooms with high ceilings and wonderful natural light that floods every corner.
The garden of your dreams and a charming gallery
Stepping outside, you discover an oasis of tranquility. A spectacular private patio-garden of 168 m2, sunny and full of possibilities, where you can create anything from a lush botanical corner to a space for complete disconnection. In addition, the size of the garden allows for planning an attached exterior small house, ideal as an independent guest pavilion, a work studio surrounded by greenery, or a fantastic summer porch with barbecue.
The transition between the interior of the house and this idyllic garden is made through a beautiful 15 m2 ground-floor gallery. Picture yourself here in the mornings, with a cup of coffee in hand, enjoying the silence and the views over your own land.
The interior layout is designed to adapt to any lifestyle, offering a total of 6 very spacious bedrooms strategically distributed across the main floors. However, what makes this property truly magnetic are its two extremes:
- The Attic / Loft (90 m2): An impressive under-roof space divided into two enormous rooms. Its beams and light make it the most romantic corner of the house. Renovation possibilities here are endless: from a dream master suite with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, to a painting studio, a writing workshop, or an absolute relaxation area.
- The Basement Level (118 m2 registered): A spectacular, solid space with around 110 m2 of usable area. If you are a wine lover, this is the ideal place to design a private wine cellar; if you are looking for leisure, a games area or family cinema; and if you prefer, it can be transformed into a large professional studio or private parking within your own property.
A prime location
The house stands out on a privileged corner, bordering Anselmo Clavé Square, Fernando Alsina Avenue, and Barrau Street, ensuring open views and exceptional cross-ventilation. All of this in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature, yet excellently connected to Barcelona.
This property is a blank canvas waiting for someone who appreciates the value of the authentic, the exclusivity of space, and the magic of Modernism.
If you are looking for a house with soul, character, and unlimited potential, I invite you to see it with me. Let yourself fall in love with its volumes and start designing the home you have always dreamed of. Contact us at Engel & Völkers to schedule your private viewing.

Excellent Connectivity and Public Transport
Forget long, tiring commutes. The property is just a few minutes’ walk from the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC – Colònia Güell Station). From here, direct trains connect you to central Barcelona (Plaça d’Espanya) in just 25 minutes, with an excellent service frequency.
If you prefer to drive, access to the main transport arteries such as the B-23, C-32 and C-31 is extremely quick. You’ll be in central Barcelona in barely 20 minutes.
Airport and Beaches Within Reach
For international residents or frequent travelers, Barcelona–El Prat Airport is only 15–20 minutes away by car. In addition, if you love the sea, the beaches of Gavà Mar or Castelldefels are at a similar distance, allowing you to escape to the coast quickly on any summer afternoon.
Local Gastronomy, Shopping and Leisure
Colònia Güell retains that highly sought-after neighborhood feel. Just steps from the home you’ll enjoy a charming local dining scene, with long-established restaurants such as El Capritx d'en Carles Bermell or the iconic Ateneu Unió, perfect for a family weekend meal or an aperitif in the sun in the square. In the town center you have all the services you need for day-to-day life: local shops, supermarkets, medical centers and pharmacies.
Education and Schools
For families, the setting is idyllic and safe. The municipality has excellent nurseries and high-quality public schools (such as Escola Pla de les Vinyes or Colònia Güell). Moreover, thanks to its strategic location in Baix Llobregat, the home is a short drive from some of the most prestigious international schools around Barcelona (such as the British School of Barcelona in Castelldefels or the American School of Barcelona in Esplugues).
