AB Real Estate
This is a beautiful historical stone house built in the 16th Century, between the ski slopes and the Mediterranean Sea, in a little village in the greater Prades area. Enthusiastic owners restored this very spacious and charming character property while respecting the ambiance and keeping all the existing original features. The rooms are bright and very well sized, almost every room opens onto a lovely view either towards the mountains or the charming village. Built in a U-shape this large property has several entrances around a courtyard and a separate tower building. It has approximately 620m² of living space and about 150m² that can be converted and can therefore be easily split into several houses or Gîtes, making it ideal for a rental business as well as B&B. Although in the heart of the village, it is very quiet and the large garden could easily take a pool and be nicely landscaped to become a dream property. Heaps of character with a wonderful feel to it!
