DESCRIPTION

There are places you visit, and others you truly discover. This one belongs to the latter.

Just a few minutes from Céret, where the road becomes a track and the world seems to slow down, a 5.5-hectare estate awaits those who still dream of space, silence and natural materials. Meadows, woodland and exposed rock: nature here has not been tamed; it has simply been welcomed.

The first farmhouse has stood the test of time, ready to be reinvented. Its stone, timber and roof beams tell an ancient story — but its soul is firmly looking to the future. Its 350 m² are arranged as four apartments, each with breathing space and room for the light to find its place.

On the ground floor, the owners’ accommodation inspires the hush that comes before admiration: more than 105 m² of open-plan living space with a generous kitchen, two bedrooms where sleep comes like nowhere else, and exposed rock that serves as a reminder that the house has never truly left the mountains. The view defies description — it has to be experienced, at every hour and in every season.

Further on, a second apartment has a character all of its own: a living space set beneath an open roof structure, a mezzanine that seems to float, and a picture window framing the entire horizon. Downstairs, a shower room with old-world charm, a freestanding bath and natural light. Upstairs, two bedrooms tucked beneath the eaves, like a secret to keep to yourself.

The next two apartments share the same attention to space and finish — and because nothing here is set in stone, they can be closed off, joined together or reimagined as you wish. Four homes, endless possibilities.

Not far away, the second farmhouse awaits. Watertight and weatherproof, it is not an unfinished house: it is a promise. Two ground-floor rooms of 40 and 50 m², plus a further 50 m² upstairs opening onto a terrace where the eye wanders across the mountain ridges. A covered terrace built from local stone extends the moment, whatever the season. And then there is the swimming pool, nestled among the oak trees, facing a panorama that needs nothing more.

The renovated farmhouse’s A-rated energy performance and A-rated greenhouse gas emissions are more than a technical achievement — they promise a home designed to last without ever losing its character.

There is scope to expand the estate if you dream even bigger: an additional 13.5 hectares, across a track, are available to purchase.

This estate cannot be described in square metres. It is about moments suspended in time, rediscovered silence and projects finally taking the shape you always dreamed of — whether for a growing family, friends gathered together or a hospitality venture of your own. Here, anything is possible. All that’s missing is you.
