The “Jaume Coll” Catalan farmhouse is located within an estate of 25 Ha., between the counties of Berguedà and Ripollès. Within the estate and around it, a wide variety of fauna and flora can be found. The pastureland for cows is noteworthy, as is the woodland where oaks and pines stand out, amongst other tree species. As for wildlife, foxes, rabbits, wild boars, badgers and deer are all worthy of mention, along with a great variety of birdlife, including crows, partridges, sparrows, blackbird and the occasional eagle.
The history of the farmhouse dates back to the turn of the 15th century. It was originally called “Mas Torrent de la Rua” but when purchased by Jaume Coll in 1488 it acquired its current name. The manuscript and translation of the purchase document can be viewed in one of the rooms of the house.
This farmhouse now belongs to our family and for some years we have been working on its refurbishment and conservation.
