Perpignan, once the seat of the Majorcan kings, is the nearest city Perpignan is within a half hour's drive and has all you would expect of a modern, connected city including an airport and a TGV rail station. The property consists of the house which has a self contained garden flat on the ground floor and a independent cottage. The cottage needs renovation. One could let the flat out as a gîte or use it for a housekeeper or to accommodate visitors. You could do the same with the cottage once restored. The flat and cottage each have an earning potential of between €350 to €500 per week depending of the time of season. The villa has high speed internet, central heating and a modern "CLEARVIEW" wood burning stove in the living room. Situated in a small town, Villa Maureillas is well tucked away on a hillside so enjoys privacy while at the same time affording access to the local shops, pubs and restaurants which are all within walking distance. The villa has a huge, sundrenched terrace facing west. The terrace is the "outdoor living room" of the house where you can enjoy fabulous sunsets whilst entertaining friends and family. |
