#294 🥈84%  LATER • €199k • typical • hamlet • 620m² satellite • 16-rooms many ready to use with ensuites, thus excellent value; its remoteness is traded for its immediate usability but is probably not sufficiently appealing for a first property due to accessibility and long off season

Environment ✧ small river valley amongst forested mountains and peaks

Services ✧ corner shop, village 20mins drive/bus

Access ✧ ~4h Toulouse (2 bus, 1 train); +3h30 Barcelona, 4h30 Paris

Dedicated units likely for part-time use only.

Area ✧ lots of mixed cloud with few entirely clear days; 5-month down season (Nov–Mar) though whilst cold, Nov would still be pleasant, and those whom like skiing would at least plausible get some use, plus shorter winter getaways especially for xmas/NYE would work well
✦ very isolated but weekly market outing saturdays to small town of St Girons 35mins drive also plausible for pickup rather than 1h bus
✦ minimart, resto (in season); other nearest resto 20mins bike / bus
✦ 20mins drive or bus to tiny village / more restos
✦ 20mins drive to skiing, kayaking, canyoning, climbing, riding, bikepark, cart racing, monorail toboggan, etc
✦ hiking from door to 2000m, good waterfalls 1h–1h30
✦ the skiing is likely to decline significantly (1400–2000m)
St Girons for access 1h bus twice daily in (1:30pm/5:30pm) connecting from station, thrice out (8am/11:30/2:30pm) also Sat, holidays
✦ then 45mins to station: +1h45 train Toulouse (last 7:30pm, +45mins airport), 4h30 Paris (3h as of 2032), also night train, and once daily direct 3h30 for Barcelona
✦ regardless 3 changes, except the direct bus Jan–Mar (ski season) twice daily 1h45 (7:30am/1pm; 10:40am/4:30pm)
Property ✧ see also #308
✦ down (again) from 215k 230k 260k
✦ excellent condition fully double-glazed with good roof much ready to use, with little work remaining except simply renovating the upper floor; many rooms would ideally need replanning to optimise for coliving, but at present it's well setup for it regardless
✦ coownership shares for a dedicated room might be around 30k finished (but just 20k acquistion) or 2.5k/fractional month
✦ would score better if actually evaluating remote properties
✦ whilst isolated it is a very good size to be inward with good facilities and a fair number of people to be dynamic (similar size as Circles)
✦ 620m2 house (390 fully usable) with 1300m2 garden across (quiet) road half grass, half plane trees, suitable for construction (could do new build tinyhomes/cohousing units)
✦ basement opens onto 130m2 rear/west garden next to river, could probably extend for further 40m2 with 1st floor terrace
