French Country Farm House For Rent
This splendidly renovated stone mas is situated in its own wonderfully secluded valley, yet is within five minutes of a village with shops, and within an hour of beautiful Mediterranean beaches and Pyrenean ski-stations. The land, bordered by National Forest, includes a fruit orchard, woodland, mountain stream and large private gardens, with ample space for walking, picnics, or just soaking up the sun. The valley, adjoining the Catalan landmark Mt. Canigou, is a pristine natural haven, home to innumerable birds, deer, wild boar and thousands of butterflies. Each season brings something different to the valley with the long, sun-filled days and glorious light of summer being particularly entrancing. The region is blessed with over three hundred days of sunshine a year and the climate has been described as being the healthiest in France. To ensure that you can make the most of this, Clos des Manes features a large, sunny, south-facing terrace, a shady oak grove with hammocks, natural rock pools in the stream for cooling down and tremendous mountain views whichever way you look. Within the immediate area there is something for everyone, with a wealth of cultural and historical places of interest, delicious foods and wines (from a Michelin starred restaurant to traditional local eateries), hidden Pyrenean villages, a full range of outdoor activities and a host of gorges, rivers, valleys, hot springs and scenic spots for those who simply want to get away from it all.
