A New life in Paradise

To live in such a beautiful place as Vallespir on the forested hillside above the charming market town of Ceret is a privilege and the unique villa La Chataigneriae enjoys that position. Views of Mt Canigou, the Plains of Roussillon to the Mediterranean, from every corner of the house and garden are breathtaking, the peace, tranquillity and quality of life is second to none, yet La Chataigneraie is only 1 Â½ kms from Ceret. Sandy beaches and Golf courses, 35 mins away, the airports of Perpignan, Carcassonne, Girona, Barcelona, Toulouse and Montpellier 35 mins to 2 hours away and are well connected by Ryanair, Easyjet, Flybe to cities all over UK, Europe and beyond. 15 mins to the autoroute, the Costa Brava approx 1 hour..

La Chataigneraie was built in 1966 . The architecture reflects the close proximity of the Spanish border 20 minutes away. The stunning views fill the senses from dawn to dusk even at the kitchen sink! La Chataigneraie is built on three levels on a hillside and almost every room has independent access to the garden or terraces.. The local stone has been used with beautiful effect, to cover the lower half of the house. The same stone-work is a feature in the hall and the wonderful fireplace in the lounge.

The Garden: The owners have spent 8 years creating a well stocked scented garden designed for all year round colour and low maintenance . A Spanish styled stone garden is filled with herbs and the fountain adds to the atmosphere on a summerâ€™s evening. A feature BBQ is built into the back of the house, a second BBQ in another area of the garden.

. The Swimming pool is on the lower level of the garden yet many feet above the driveway thus enjoying the lovely views of the surrounding countryside. It has a new fully legal safety fence and a Wisteria covered pergola. Natural rocks make a feature rockery above the 11 metre long pool.

Shaded Parking in the driveway under the chestnut trees.

Ceret is undoubtedly one of the most vibrant and attractive towns in Catalonia with its magnificent plain trees lining the streets of the old town giving summer shade to the many cafes, frequented in times past, by renowned artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and Soutine who were captivated by the beauty of Ceret. Many of their works can be seen in the Museum of Modern Art in Ceret.
Music, art and festivals are a way of life in Ceret, with the Cherry Festival, Ceret de Toros , the Sardane and International music festival, being the main ones. Ceret has good schools, medical services, shops and the wonderful Saturday market throughout the year.

Activities include walking,climbing, canyoning, cycling, bird watching, scuba diving 40 mins, skiing 1 Â½ hours, horse riding, painting, galleries, ancient castles, churches, the beaches, picturesque Catalan villages, the Roussillon vineyards and the GR10 Atlantic to the Med Pyrenean trail passes behind the house.
