Set on the edge of a peaceful village in Les Aspres, yet only 8 minutes from the A9, this authentic early 19th-century Catalan mas offers approximately 250m² of versatile accommodation across two buildings, retaining considerable original character and charm, with many artistic touches. In addition to the main living area, the property includes two independent apartments, each with its own entrance and private terrace. These spaces offer great flexibility of use, whether for accommodating family and friends, creating independent living areas or considering a hospitality activity. They can also be connected to create a larger family home, according to the needs and plans of the future owners. A separate building, the converted old stables, contains a 55m² studio above a large double garage of 50m², together with a large terrace on several levels. So in all, potentially up to 4 independent units. Set within approximately 2,418m² of private grounds arranged over several levels, the property features a mature orchard cultivated according to the principles of permaculture. The buildable area of land offers the possibility of creating a pool area, keeping some animals and/or adding further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Presented in good condition, the property benefits from excellent energy ratings, with DPEs of A and B for the two buildings and an EV charging point. Ideally positioned for enjoying both the countryside and the Mediterranean lifestyle, the property is approximately 10 minutes from Céret, with the beaches, the Albères and Pyrenees plus the Spanish border all within easy reach. A characterful and unusually versatile property, combining the authenticity of an historic Catalan mas with generous accommodation, privacy and the flexibility to create a wonderful home in the South of France.
