DESCRIPTION

17th century stone Catalan mas, enclosed and private but sunny location, 262m², 7 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, 65ha of prairie and forest, tennis court, pool, outbuildings, ideal for horses, wonderful family home or commercial activity This 17th century Catalan Mas is in a mountain location in the Vallespir, Languedoc-Roussillon, Occitanie region of the South of France. The property gives a real sense of privacy and isolation and is wonderful for nature lovers, but is only a few kilometres of easy road from the nearest town. The land around the mas is open and sunny, surrounded by prairie, forest and mountains with a pool, tennis court, and trout pond. More than 3kms of track allow you to circulate around your land, winding up the mountainside to an old stone sheepfold of c 60m² and further prairies. This land is a paradise, served by several springs, ideal for horses or other animals. The main house is divided currently into two apartments, one on each floor and a large stone outbuilding houses the garage, workshop and further accommodation, currently an en-suite bedroom, but potentially a small studio. The house could be left as two apartments to provide gîte income, or remodelled into a large family home or B&B. Description of the Building

The driveway to the house and the parking area is tarmacked and there is a large paved terrace area around the house for outside dining. The land sits between 500 and 700m altitude. There is a fenced vegetable garden near the house and shelters for machinery further away. A stone sheepfold of c 60m² is found on a higher plateau reached by 3 kms of well-maintained track on the property. Pool 14x6m with sliding cover, pool house and pump room, tennis court with fencing and lighting, small pond on terrace and larger pond for trout near entrance.

General Condition
The mas, found in ruins by the current owner, was restored and renovated 40 years ago and is immediately habitable, but would require some updating and possible remodelling to suit a new project. There are some very nice features, exposed wooden beams, marble floor tiles in the ground floor living area, picture windows, stone walls and Mediterranean style roof tiles, some wooden floorboards, laminateand lino.
There are 5 reversible air-conditioning units and three fireplaces with inserts, mains electricity, water heated by electricity and solar panels, windows and doors are a mixture of wood single glazing and aluminium double glazing. Water is supplied by springs and is filtered.

Comment
An outstanding location, boasting mountains, forest, prairie and several natural springs, a real heaven on earth and must be experienced to be truly appreciated. The farmhouse could be an amazing family home or guest accommodation and the property has the potential to be a wonderful animal or nature-themed commercial project.
