Description
This exceptional Catalan Mas going back to the 18th Century comes with nearly 10ha of private prairie and woodland.
It is located in the Vallespir with easy access to essential amenities including restaurants, in the department of the Pyrenees Orientales, Languedoc-Roussillon, Occitanie, South of France.
A rare find on the market, the buildings have been restored and decorated with taste and maintained to an immaculate standard. There are some lovely features as exposed wooden beams, polished concrete, terracotta tiles and original floorboards, stone walls and Mediterranean style roof tiles.
The top two floors of the main house create the main dwelling with 3 bedrooms, the ground floor a completely independent 2 bedroom apartment/gîte. Another building has been thoughtfully restored to create another 2 bedroom gîte.
The land around the mas is open and sunny giving views over the surrounding countryside and mountains. The prairie and woodland, mainly of green oak and chestnut, is ideal for horses. Many hiking paths and tracks for mountain biking and horse-riding lead directly from the property. The garden with flowers, herbs and a vegetable patch is thoughtfully laid out with delightful terraced areas for outdoor dining. This is a wonderful property for those who love nature and are searching a change of lifestyle.
