Situated in a lovely south-facing position with far-reaching countryside views, this former farmhouse was restored from an abandoned state in 2009 to include new roof, insulation, double glazing, terraces and septic tank. The main entrance is situated to the rear, accessed via the summer kitchen (23.6m2) which is designed to (one day) become enclosed and incorporated into the main house as a kitchen and dining room. The upper ground floor front door opens on to the current kitchen (25.6m2) with wood burning stove and oven, beyond is the lounge (21.6m2) with external door leading out to a sunny terrace with exceptional views. A staircase leads down to the lower ground floor where there is a family bathroom (20.9m2) with bath, wash hand basin, WC and wood burning stove (!), the first bedroom (11.2m2) and second bedroom (11.5m2) with external door leading out to the front terrace.
Outside: the property sits quite centrally within its 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) of land, this is mostly sloping forest with relatively flat and open parts around the house. The property is independent for both water and electricity a?? a bore hole has been sunk to 110 metres and provides ample and good quality water while electricity is provided by photovoltaic solar panels hidden in the trees behind the house.
Summary: an excellent isolated house yet only 12 minutes by car from Ceret and Reynes. The property is fully independent of all utilities (it does have a telephone and ADSL connection although this could be replaced by satellite if desired), has no immediate neighbours and benefits amazing views.
