Barri
property details
for a Hub House co-operative coliving project

Area ✧ would make a great satellite property
✦ village has everything, a venezuelan cafe, sushi place, organic brewery, organic shop, good bar with garden, good burger place and several restaurants (3 pizza), plus 3 supermarkets
✦ several outdoor spaces in the old village: the tower as the village's highest point over the river, with some grassy patches; a small place with some grass having great views, a larger grassy area next to a ruined tower at the (unused) main square, a small grassy hillside next to the cemetary, plus some grassy riverfront
✦ does get occasional snow in winter
✦ from the doors there's a path climbing to 1100m with several circuits, lovely escarpments with tons of climbing spots and good biking, including a 45km greenway from Foix
✦ tennis 15mins walk; kayaking and SUP 10mins drive; various caves and castles
✦ whilst the upper hills and mountains are barren and open there's woods and forests and even the occasional waterfall on the lower slopes; hikes to mountain lakes from 20mins drive
✦ skiing/bikepark 25mins train then gondola (2300m); smaller 35mins drive; more Andorra 1h15+
✦ Foix (small town) 15mins train and Pamiers (large town) 30mins (last 7:45pm or 11pm bus), plus Mirepoix is 40mins drive and also possible bus train/bus

property detail ↗︎

Property ✧ quite likely not as large as claimed (round number!)
✦ parcel 843 105m2 probably also 844 20m2; in several parts:
✦ + rear/north has 2 floors with 2 windows plus basement and attic (~30m2 =100m2) with access via an alley to the road
✦ + front/south has 3 floors with 3 windows plus attic with very low windows (~30m2 =100m2), onto a car-free lane, probably a small cellar too
✦ + centre at less than 3m deep spans the two parcels with probably 3 floors rising above the others (25m2 =75m2) but might not include the 2nd parcel; has no windows except maybe top, only a door onto the alley which could have windows added above; would need lintels to interconnect with the others if not already
✦ there's possibly a hotchpotch of up to 3 stairs amongst so if interconnected their space could be reclaimed
✦ rear roof could be removed for up to 25m2 terrace, however might be better at the front, but best on the centre as the highest point, yet which still sides onto next wall (east), if rebuilt here the 2nd floor could have windows around its 3 sides
✦ the front ground has nice old full height doors as was apparently a woodworker's shop or something
✦ back has 2.5 windows across, front 3

---

probably a fair bit of work to bring up to standard
✦ there's a tiny public square almost in front that could do with some guerilla gardening, and occasionally hosts music and events
✦ the adjacent property (parcel 845) is abandoned with 40m2*3 plus a section at the rear
