Exceptional spacious villa located by the French border with Spain, set in sought after Les Hauts de Céret, 5 minutes drive above the cultural centre of the town of Céret, 25 minutes to the Mediterranean beaches, 1.5 hours to excellent skiing, and a short distance from the Spanish Costa Brava. This immaculate and extremely well situated property has just been the subject of a thorough renovation during which almost every major aspect has been renewed or replaced with top quality materials. It is rare indeed for an owner in this part of France to specify such a high standard of finish to their home. Originally built in the mid seventies, the property has been transformed into a wonderfully light contemporary home with high beamed ceilings and good volumes to all rooms, the majority of which take advantage of stunning southerly and westerly views towards Mount Canigou.
Built within the centre of a large plot measuring 2,571m2, the house is approached via electric gates on stone pillars which lead on to a driveway bordered by low schist stone walls with inset lighting. The driveway sweeps up to a large parking area in front of the house and separate garage with electric up and over door; a side pedestrian gate leads from the garden out to the quiet road beyond. This is the eastern aspect of the house which has been planted with low maintenance local plants including herbs, succulents and cacti set in between the established trees and a rockery. Paths run down each side of the house where (locked) gates give access onto the main garden and pool area to the rear. Set behind a porch, there is a wide and substantial oak panelled front door which leads into a large, light and bright entrance hall with cathedral ceiling, remote-controlled Velux skylights, discrete up-lights set into the floor and a huge feature ceiling fan dominating the centre. This large space (35m2) feeds into all the main areas of the house.
To the right is the double master bedroom with fully tiled ensuite bathroom featuring large double-ended bath, separate sunken shower, WC, double hand-basins, heated towel rail, and well lit with inset ceiling spot lights and extractor. The bedroom has double french doors with a juliet balcony and boasts a wonderful view towards Mt.Canigou. Also on this side is the 4th double bedroom, occupying a corner position the room is very light with dual aspect views to the side and front; a safe has been discretely installed. The other side of the entrance hall offers two good sized double bedrooms with two further bathrooms (one of which is ensuite), each being fully tiled and featuring bath, separate shower, WC, hand-basin, heated towel rail, and inset ceiling spot lights and extractor. At one end of the entrance hall is a separate fully tiled cloakroom/WC with wall inset WC, hand-basin, heated towel rail, and inset ceiling spot lights and extractor. A technical cupboard is in the corner of the hall, opening to reveal a state of the art electrical and satellite TV control centre from which the house can be configured according to the owners’ wishes.
Two short sets of light oak steps lead down from either side of the hall to the main living area of the house; the left hand set leads to the lounge via half panelled double doors with bevelled glass panes, while the right hand set goes to the kitchen. This lower area of the house has both a southerly and a westerly aspect and is full of light, benefiting windows all the way around that give onto the rear terrace, garden and pool area outside, and many of which offer outstanding views of the local mountain countryside and Mt. Canigou. The open-plan lounge and dining area are of an excellent size (67m2), with beamed cathedral ceilings and cream-coloured walls, featuring a stone fireplace with inset prismatic glass foyer creating a super focal point to the sitting area. To the rear and side there are two sets of large glass folding doors, which concertina and slide away to reveal a huge space through which to pass onto the terrace and into the garden; beautifully fitted, the effect serves to blur the line between outside and inside. These glass doors have electric security shutters.
The large kitchen (31m2), which flows seamlessly from the dining area, is a real piece de resistance’, having been thoughtfully re-designed to maximise space, workflow and the external views. The light oak units are of excellent quality with black granite worktops across all surfaces and discrete downlighting coming from numerous angles. The central island unit houses a second sink, Siemens vitroceramic electric induction hob with ceiling mounted Roblin extractor hood and numerous storage cupboards/drawers in addition to a dedicated wine fridge. Other electrical equipment incorporated into the perimeter units includes Miele dishwasher, Siemens washer/drier, oven, microwave, built-in coffee machine, and large American-style LG fridge/freezer. Provision has been made for a wall mounted TV screen with invisible ducting.
Internally, all the doors and windows are made of high quality light oak with stylish inox fittings. All rooms have either double french doors and/or dual aspect windows, thereby maximising light and views. Large-sized, light stone-coloured floor tiles throughout. The house is heated and cooled by reversible air-conditioning units throughout.
Outside, the low-maintenance garden is laid mainly to lawn set amongst a number of well established fruit trees bordered by flowering shrubs; a gentle slope leads down to the large pool area, featuring a 12 metre saline swimming pool set in a large stone-laid terrace with recessed lighting, pool house incorporating shower, seating area, plus separate equipment room. A cave (cellar) under one part of the house contains the water heater tanks and automatic watering system controls is accessible from an external side door. Receiving sunshine all day, the garden is completely private and benefits amazing mountain views of Mount Canigou and the surrounding countryside.
Summary
An outstanding high quality property in a great location with fantastic views - one of the nicest houses for sale today in the Céret area.
