Detached House near Perpignan, Hérault

This domain is located in Roussillon, 45mn from a city and an airport and an hour from the sea, 30mn from a large village with all amenities and 5mn from a village with some shopping facilities and school bus. The surroundings are wonderful and peaceful while not really isolated, since there are numerous other domains nearby, with very friendly people. The property includes a small renovated sheep barn 70m² and a huge stone Mas with a potential living area of about 700m².

Description of the building
The stone sheep barn offers about 70m² on 2 levels.
Ground floor: kitchen with dining corner, and an adjoining lounge, a staircase leads to the first floor, mezzanine/study, and vast bedroom with exposed beams, bathroom and WC. Heating by wood burning stove.

Mas to renovate entirely with a potential living area of about 700m².
The owners have started the works by taking the roof and the floors off. The current project includes realizing a gîtes or B&B complex, with 6 or 7 apartments on 3 levels. This project is transformable and adaptable also into a private family house. The walls are built in stones with lovely archways, the beams restored, and a huge fireplace kept in the future kitchen.
A 2 years job has achieved the final drawings together with a precise estimate by an architect. The planning permissions are accepted and grant authorisation established in view of building a gîtes or B&B business.

Grounds
The plot measures from 3/7.5 up to 5ha/12.5 acres; this imprecise description will be sorted out quite soon by a geometer. It is planted with Mediterranean species, meadows, orchards and a chestnut plantation. Horse breeding and equestrian leisure is possible. There is a sheep breeding farm right next to the property.
There are 8 water springs on the property and a septic tank.

General condition
This property needs total renovation besides the sheep barn. The tracks and the woods and meadows are well maintained.

Comments
The gîtes or B&B complex project is absolutely viable with a good ROI. Everything is in the starting blocks ready to go. An estimate of the converting costs is available. Would also make an excellent family home.
