Mosset

In the heart of the perched village of Mosset, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, stands a castle whose stones have witnessed nearly a thousand years of history since the 12th century.

It is within this exceptional 148 m² residence that we invite you to discover a unique art of living, where time seems suspended between medieval authenticity and contemporary comfort.

As soon as you step into the cobbled inner courtyard, El Plaçal, emotion takes hold. The centuries-old stone walls tell the stories of the past—from Ramon-Guillem, who gave his name to the site in 1091, to the Lords of Canet who shaped this fortress. Each stone carries the memory of a bygone era, creating a striking atmosphere of authenticity.

The main living room welcomes you with its cathedral-like volumes, showcasing a spectacular ceiling height that magnifies the imposing open-hearth fireplace, finely carved from local stone. Original timber beams and exposed stone walls provide a natural décor of remarkable beauty. From the windows unfolds a breathtaking view of the Mosset valley and Mount Canigou, a grandiose panorama that changes with the seasons and the hours of the day.

The interior layout reveals the genius of the restoration undertaken. On the ground floor, the office-library, bathed in natural light, offers an inspiring work setting facing the mountains. The beautifully restored vaulted former ramparts lead to an intimate lounge imbued with a gentle way of life, and then to a master suite comprising a spacious bedroom with walk-in closet and private bathroom.

The lower level reveals a unique curiosity: a private grotto where a natural spring flows continuously, a vestige of ancient times when the castle drew its resources directly from the rock. A laundry room and technical area complete this arrangement, thoughtfully designed for modern comfort.

The renovation, carried out with passion, respects the soul of the place while bringing today’s conveniences. A wood-pellet boiler supplies central heating—an ecological system perfectly adapted to this mountain setting. Every detail has been considered to preserve the authenticity of the original materials.

Living in Mosset means embracing a privileged lifestyle in the heart of a character village of Conflent. The castle square and communal garden offer spaces for relaxation just steps away, while hiking trails lead directly from the village into the heights of the Pyrenees. Shops and services are within walking distance, Prades train station is just 20 minutes away, and Perpignan airport less than an hour.

This residence represents much more than just a home: it is the rare opportunity to make a piece of history your own, to live daily in an exceptional setting where each day reveals new details, new light, new emotions. It is both a heritage investment and a lifestyle choice for those who can truly appreciate the beauty of authenticity.
