Property Description
This 18th century Catalan Mas, bordered by a river, is situated in the countryside of the Vallespir, in the Languedoc-Roussillon, Occitanie, South of France. The situation is calm and peaceful, immersed in the sounds of nature and running water, but is only a short drive from a bustling town with all of its services and amenities. Immediately habitable, this Mas has been renovated over many years with great attention to detail, using traditional local techniques and materials, terracotta paving, traditional Catalan ironwork, bespoke woodwork and handmade tiles. Additionally, some very nice features, exposed wooden beams and stone walls, and the unusual mezzanine library. There is a large terrace which runs along the east side and opens out on the south side of the house to a covered summer kitchen and outdoor dining area equipped with a built-in BBQ and sink. The land slopes gently by way of several terraces from the mountains and forest above, down through grassy and cultivated terraces, passing the house surrounded by paved outdoor living spaces, suggesting conviviality and summer evenings, and continuing down through orchards to the riverbank . The river supplies the house and gardens with water, and there is enough land to experiment with a degree of self-sufficiency if desired or to put a few animals for fun. This is a wonderful property for families with young children or couples who are keen gardeners and are looking for a lifestyle property.Description of the Building
