Mas dels Arbres is a country house and 100 hectare farm in the heart of Parque Naturale del Cap de Creus.
“When we found Mas dels Arbres in 2017 we knew it was something special. The farm has an energy which struck us immediately and it was clear it would make a unique country house.
Mas dels Arbres is defined by our belief in sustainability, great design and just a dash of luxury!”
-- Donald Reid, Owner of Mas dels Arbres
Mas dels Arbres has been restored using respectful building techniques, traditional materials and local teams. The architecture and design decisions allow the farmhouse and gardens to sit comfortably in the natural surroundings.
Mas dels Arbres has an inviting and peaceful atmosphere letting guests relax and disconnect in a private and exclusive estate. The house has been furnished with antiques dating from the 1750s to the 1950s, decorated with a sophisticated collection of 20thC art ranging from Joan Miro to David Donaldson to Robert Slingsby. There are modern touches in each of the 5 bedrooms including luxury mattresses, organic cotton linens, air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. In addition there is a kitchen, dining room, sitting room, a library and 1 cloakroom, all fully stocked.
Each window in the house frames a particular view of the landscape, from San Pere de Rodes, up the French Coast, to Puig Alt, to the trees from which the farm takes it name. Starlink WiFi keeps you connected.
There is a lap pool (a rarity in a national park) where you can exercise, stretch-out or simply lounge enjoying the far-reaching views.
The gardens have been planted using drought-resistant plants and practices to conserve water. The elms that grow along the stream outside the house provide cool shade from the summer sun and Tramuntana. The restored olive grove is coming into its third year and is maturing nicely. We are now in the process of re-establishing the kitchen garden and vineyard, employing sustainable practices that respect the land.
As Sol Ixent, Cadaques’ magazine of note says:
“Thanks to Donald and Jose and all those who collaborated with them,
Mas dels Arbres comes back to life and now life returns to Mas dels Arbres”
