Full Description
EXCLUSIVE RARE For the first time since 1780 this exceptional estate on 20 hectares is being offered for sale. ( There is the possibility of negotiating the purchase of an additional 100 hectares of forest for buyers interested in a larger holding ) This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this haven of peace virtually untouched by the passing centuries. The main house dates from the 1600's with a stone facade standing prominently overlooking garden and forest with views to the Pyrenées mountains in the distance. The interior offers authenticity and charm and is ready for the next owner to personalise to their own taste.
This was once a working village and there are numerous stone buildings to renovate offering the opportunity for someone to develop multiple tourist cottages. The size of the additional buildings also have potential as a wellness or corporate retreat with the surrounding forest offering absolute calm and tranquility yet only 45 minutes drive from Carcassonne city and airport.
The property is completely off grid with it's own water sources and electricity by solar panels managed by the french energy supplier EDF who have an electrical control room on the property.
Access to the property is by public and private road and a four wheel drive vehicle is required.
For buyers who love nature the area is full of bird and animal life and huge platane, chestnut and oak trees can be seen throughout the private park and forest.
The property does require substantial investment and has huge potential for the right buyer as a private family estate or commercial venture.
Additional information is available by contacting the exclusive agent Robert Richards.
Agency commission paid by the vendor. Energy report being prepared
