Neil Harris, Independent Agent, says: | In the middle of the Tech Valley, only 5 minutes from Amélie Les Bains, and surrounded by hills, ideal for a couple or a small family, this bright simple chalet style house completely surrounded by its garden, would be suitable for a holiday cottage or for year round living. Plenty of room for a pool.
| This simply but cheerfully decorated house needs a small amount of work to make it an ideal holiday cottage or a permanent home. Completely detached it gets the sunshine all day long and has lovely views towards the surrounding hills.
The ground floor consists of : entry directly into a bright sitting room, two bedrooms, one with fireplace and original Catalan tiles (which could be used as an office or a second sitting room), large simple kitchen with pantry and door to a garage with a WC.
Stairs lead to another bedroom, a small office, bathroom and separate WC. Access via a loft hatch to a large loft.
Outside the completely fenced garden surrounds the house and is divided into driveway, lawns flower beds and a vegetable plot. A well supplies water for the garden.
Amélie les Bains, one of the most important spa towns in France attracts a lot of visitors to take the waters as well as tourists, making this a good site for a holiday rental property. Amélie les Bains, which also has a good selection of bars, restaurants etc is set on the side of the gorge de Mondony. There is a produce market daily in the centre of the town and a weekly market at the other side of the river. This is a friendly little town with pedestrian areas where its very pleasant to sit and enjoy a beer.
Arles sur Tech is up the valley and has small local shops. Arles is famous for its 13th century abbey, in the centre of the town, which can be visited. Beyond Arles sur Tech the road winds up to Prats de Mollo, a mountain town with an old walled part and a fort high on the hill behind. From here a short drive brings you to the Col D’Ares on the Spanidh border and the south side of the mountains.
Céret is less than 20 minutes for supermarkets an excellent market, the modern art museum and is a sub prefecture for most administrative tasks. Another lively town with a walled city of narrow streets behind the church and a view towards the Canigou.
The nearest sandy beaches are about 50 minutes away at Argeles Plage or St Cyprien Plage where there is also a golf course. The rocky coast towards the Spanish border is also about 50 minutes drive. The Spanish border itself is only about 30 minutes via the A9 motorway over the Col de Perthus, for duty free alcohol and cheap petrol. The Costa Brava is about an hour’s drive.
Perpignan, on the river Tet, the departmental capital, is about an hour’s drive for bigger shops, commercial centres and administration. The ancient fort high above the town was a palace of the kings of Majorca.
