Full Description


Location
In the heart of nature, just a stone's throw from civilisation
Nestled in lush greenery in the north of the Aude department, this exceptional property offers a rare and unspoilt setting. Located just 20 minutes from Carcassonne, 1 hour from the Mediterranean beaches, 1 hour 20 minutes from Toulouse, and with quick access to Paris via Castres airport (2 hours 30 minutes), it perfectly combines natural isolation and accessibility.
Part of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park, it enjoys an environment free from noise and visual pollution. Despite this isolation, a private telephone line has been connected to fibre optics for optimal modern comfort.

DESCRIPTION
A 25-hectare estate in complete autonomy
The land, in one piece and fully fenced, covers 25 hectares between 400 and 540 metres above sea level. It is home to a herd of free-roaming deer and other wildlife, protected from hunting. Mainly composed of cedar and oak forests, the estate is managed under a Simple Management Plan. A beautiful river, punctuated by a productive waterfall and a hillside reservoir, runs through this land that resembles a natural paradise.

A former hunting lodge converted into a characterful residence
Built in 1840, this stone building with slate roofs has been completely renovated and extended in keeping with its original architecture. The property offers 700 m² of living space on two floors and a converted attic, with high-end amenities.

Ground floor: nobility and warmth
The entrance is via a central hallway lined with chestnut wood panelling and granite flooring. The library, housed in one of the two towers, envelops visitors in chestnut wood, creating a cosy atmosphere. A laundry room and toilets complete this space.
The English-style kitchen, clad in ‘giallo veneziano’ granite, adjoins a cosy living room decorated with chestnut wood panelling, parquet flooring and a billiard table. At the rear, a converted former stable serves as a pantry.
A vast 200 m² living/dining room, reminiscent of a cathedral, features a brick fireplace, solid parquet flooring, wooden walls and ceilings, and a majestic staircase leading to the upper floor.
In the second tower, a spiral oak staircase, enhanced by picture rails, leads to the upper floors.

First floor: refined sleeping area
A hallway decorated with wood panelling leads to:
A bedroom with en-suite shower room,
A bedroom perched in the tower, with impressive high ceilings (4.30 m),
A third bedroom at the rear, with its own bathroom,
A spacious dressing room.

Second floor: a cosy retreat under the eaves
Accessible via an elegant spiral staircase, this 60 m² level features a second custom-made dressing room in Carolina pine, lit by skylights. Wardrobes, storage space, armoury... Everything has been designed for functional and discreet use.

Annexes and outbuildings
An L-shaped corridor converted into an art gallery connects the main house to a vast 160 m² summer kitchen. This opens onto a 10 x 4 m indoor swimming pool, ideal in all seasons.
A separate 140 m² larch wood garage with polished concrete flooring completes the property.
The entire estate is in impeccable condition, with high-quality materials and modern amenities (reversible air conditioning, fibre optics, etc.).

Our opinion
A rare place, both isolated and connected, wild and sophisticated. This estate will appeal to lovers of authenticity and nature, while offering exceptional comfort just a few kilometres from major cities.
