Casa Ribera has a beautiful detached location on a 38.600 sqm plot adjacent to a river.

The house is very well accessible via a local road with very little traffic. From the road it is possible to drive onto the property.

The garden with an entrance to the house and the barn is a lovely place where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the mountains and the sound of running water from the river below.

The front door opens into a hallway with access to the living room, kitchen and fire room.

The fire room used to be the only heated room in the house and played a central role in everyday life. The fire provided warmth and was often also the only means of cooking. The fireplace in this room is still in good condition, making it a charming space in the house.

The spacious living room features authentic flooring, a beamed ceiling and a south-facing balcony, providing plenty of natural light and a cozy feel.

Adjacent to the living room are a bedroom and the bathroom.

The first floor consists of 3 bedrooms and a storage room.

Before the house was fitted with a new roof, water damage occurred in some rooms. However, this did not affect the construction. The new roof also offers the possibility of removing the beamed ceilings, creating space for nice high rooms.

Beneath the house are the old stables that offer plenty of storage space.

Through the stables, you get to the south side of the house with another spacious garden. Especially in the cooler months, this is a lovely place to enjoy the sun and the view in total privacy. People used to have the winter vegetable garden on this side of the house.

The hay barn adjacent to the house is a spacious and versatile space with a new roof and originally two floors. This barn offers potential for additional storage, living space or could be converted into a studio, yoga studio, a home office or separate guest accommodation, for example.

The surroundings and the region of La Ribagorza

Casa Ribera is located in a valley belonging to the municipality of Arén situated in the beautiful region of La Ribagorza. In this area with stunning views, lakes and rivers, you’ll find a community that enjoys a peaceful life. The Ribagorza region is steeped in Spain’s rich history and culture, with historical sites, local festivals and traditional Spanish architecture. Amid tradition and nature, enjoy the relaxed lifestyle La Ribagorza has to offer.

In the immediate vicinity of Casa Ribera, there is much to explore: from fascinating geology and history to sites from the time of dinosaurs.

At the same time, you experience the tranquil rhythm of rural life, where people take their time, and where you can easily integrate into a friendly community.

In the vicinity of the house the river Noguera Ribagorzana flows. This river forms the border between Catalonia and Aragón and connects the lakes Escales in the north and Canelles in the south. So in summer there is plenty of choice for swimming, canoeing or other (water) sports.

Everywhere in the landscape you can see historic vestiges like chapels, Roman bridges, defence towers and monasteries. The rich historical heritage is also reflected in the many authentic villages.

One of the most beautiful hiking trails in Europe is the walk through the gorge of Mont Rebei. The gorge is carved by the river Noguera Ribagorzana and crosses the Montsec mountain range. The gorge can be enjoyed on foot following the ancient mule track carved into the rock. On the other side of the gorge are 2 spectacular wooden stairs that cross the rock vertically. Exploring the gorge by canoe is also an unforgettable experience.

Apart from peace and culture, the area also offers action and adventure. The diverse nature offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, skiing, bird watching, fishing or mushroom hunting.
