Vallespir, 17th Century Mas, 262m2, 7 bedrooms, wonderful peaceful and sunny location, several springs, pool, tennis, 65ha, prairie and woodland, outbuildings, ideal for horses and nature lovers, outdoor or commercial activities 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 from a road to 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 the 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 gite income, or remodelled into a large family home or B and B.

It offers 262m2 of living space over 3 floors of the main building and an outbuilding.

On the ground floor is access through glazed wooden doors to a porch, entrance hall, kitchen, pantry, dining room/study with terrace, bedroom, bathroom with picture window, separate WC, and a spiral staircase to give internal access to the first floor. There is an external stone staircase from the terrace to the first floor.

A front door leads to an apartment on the first floor with a hall, bedroom, fireplace with insert, living room, kitchen/diner with large brick fireplace, bedroom, bathroom, pantry, and storage.

On the second floor is a landing, and 3 bedrooms

A large stone outbuilding is currently used as garage 57 m2, which has an electric door with remote control, and a workshop 24m2 with a hall, bedroom and bathroom.

A solar powered automatic gate at the entrance gives access to the property which sits on 65 hectares of prairie and forest, mainly of green oak and chestnut with some ash, and an orchard of around 30 cherry trees.

The driveway to the house and the parking area is tarmaced 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.

The pool is 14 x 6m with a sliding cover, pool house and pump room. There is also a tennis court with fencing and lighting, a small pond on a terrace and larger pond for trout near the entrance of the property.

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, laminate and 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.

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. “DPE Blank unusable consumption”.
