Fifty years waiting
for the right person.
A house that was once great. That can be again.
All it’s missing is you.
Some houses are bought.
Others are adopted.
This one belongs to the second kind.
In the La Simpàtica development, one of the quietest and most sought-after residential areas of Tortosa, there’s a house that’s been waiting. Not since today — for years. Waiting for someone to walk through the door, stop in the middle of the inner courtyard by its fountain, look at the mature garden and the trees that take decades to grow, and say: “This is it.”
Built in 1976, this house was once one of Tortosa’s most notable properties. With 502 m² built on a 3,089 m² plot, it offers a sense of space and privacy that today’s market can rarely match. The open-plan kitchen with central island, the living and dining room with fireplace and large windows opening onto the garden, the two en-suite bedrooms, the Mediterranean courtyard with its fountain — all of it speaks to a way of living that simply isn’t built the same way any more.
Outside, the established garden with natural lawn and mature trees that provide shade and privacy is an asset no renovation can fake — it takes decades to grow. The large private pool opens onto sweeping views over Tortosa and the surrounding countryside. The barbecue area and outdoor living spaces make it a place to enjoy year-round outdoor living.
“La Simpàtica is Tortosa’s benchmark residential development for its peace and quiet, green surroundings and easy connection to the town centre. A 3,089 m² plot in this area, with 502 m² built, a pool and panoramic views, doesn’t come onto the market every year.”
502 m². A 3,089 m² plot.
Everything needed to make a great house.
The house needs updating. We know it, and we say so openly. But renovating isn’t destroying — it’s revealing. Behind every wall is a solid structure, generous proportions and spaces that most new-build homes will never be able to offer. With the right vision and investment, this property can become again what it once was: one of the finest houses in Tortosa.
The right buyer for this house isn’t looking for a move-in-ready home. They’re looking for the project of a lifetime. They’re looking for the garden that already exists, the plot they already have, the views that are already there — and picturing what they can build on top of it. For that buyer, the entry price is the best possible news. Precisely because of the property’s current condition, we are open to considering reasonable offers for its acquisition.
The cadastral breakdown shows 331 m² of living space on the ground floor, 50 m² on the first floor, a 71 m² storage area and a 50 m² sports area. Square metres that, well redistributed, allow for an outstanding main residence with annex spaces tailored to each family’s needs.
