Property Description

Spacious and very charming Provençal-style villa, with a large living room, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Covered terrace with sweeping views and a swimming pool surrounded by a sun terrace. Constructable grounds of 4,890 m², fully fenced, with an olive grove, cypress trees and oleanders. A garage with a wine cellar completes the property. Situated close to shops and restaurants, at the foot of the Pyrenees and just 25 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. A stunningly beautiful location for a very comfortable home. 



The house

Set in a secluded position, with lovely views and no overlooking, this property owes its charming character to the arched doorways, the hand-plastered interior walls, robust wooden beams, tiled floors in warm earth tones and wide sliding doors to the covered terrace. 
The 172 m² of living space accommodates a large 60 m² living room + cathedral-ceilinged lounge and a fitted kitchen of 14 m². On the ground floor, there is a bedroom and a utility room. A few steps up, you will find a second bedroom, a bathroom and a separate toilet. On the first floor is the third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, as well as an additional lounge with a balcony.
The 30 m² garage has an additional entrance door for pedestrians and a cool wine cellar. 
The property is very well maintained and in perfect condition. Some work may be required to adapt the kitchen and bathrooms to your own taste. 



Swimming pool

The large swimming pool, measuring approximately 25 m², is surrounded by a spacious tiled sun terrace and features a garden shed for storing pool furniture. It is fitted with a summer cover and a winter cover and is heated by a heat pump to extend the swimming season. A robotic cleaner maintains the pool. 



Grounds

The 4,890 m² grounds are laid out in a Mediterranean style, with beautiful plant borders, an olive grove, cypress trees and various other mature trees, an oleander hedge alongside the swimming pool that blooms all summer long, an automatic irrigation system and ample parking for your guests.
The plot is suitable for building on, so it is possible to build a second home there.
