You can reach Perpignan airport in around 60 mins.

Approx 120m² living space on approx 100,000m² or 25 acres of pasture/woodland, with 5 rooms in total.

The property boasts spacious, fitted kitchen approx 27m², a good-sized lounge with fire-place and wood heater approx 30m², a total of 3 bedrooms - one of which is en-suite with corner bath plus separate dressing room and splendid views, another leads out onto a south-facing patio with more views, plus separate shower room with WC. 3 large storage areas underneath house approx 120m². Electric convectors, plus real fire and wood heater.

Property features include a wonderful rustic kitchen with long solid-wood bench table and bench-style seating for those endless meals en famille or entre amis, east-facing patio area directly outside, character fire-place, dark wood beams, cottage-style windows and a combination of wooden, parquet and tiled floors. Light & airy throughout. Ample loft space enabling room for conversion, not forgetting the space beneath the property too . East-facing and south-facing patio areas to follow the sun's passage - a must for breakfast and lunch al fresco. Not forgetting the superb setting and the tranquil views everywhere you look. The river just below the property and the natural source or spring water which provides an endless supply for the garden and horses. The privacy and the peace. Covered parking space, plus ample internal parking.

In good overall condition, so that all you have to do is to unpack the suitcase and sit down and talk to the horses. The ample land directly surrounding the property means that you have plenty of room to add your own swimming pool if you wish. Ideal equestrian property with good mix of land and local water available, but equally it would make a superb main or second home for anyone looking to escape the rat race and find harmony with nature. Not to be missed.
