Camon, Ariege, Midi-Pyrenees, France
Full Description
Set within 5 hectares of beautiful countryside on the edge of the picturesque village of Camon, this remarkable 250-year-old French bastide enjoys views across the grounds and surrounding countryside. Lovingly restored from the ground up some 25 years ago, the property combines historic character, generous accommodation and outstanding potential.
Offering approximately 868 m² of living space, the estate is arranged around three distinct elements:
The Main House
The original bastide provides five bedrooms and three bathrooms, carefully restored to preserve its authentic character while incorporating modern comforts. Elegant reception rooms, period features and light-filled interiors create an atmosphere of timeless refinement.
The Renovated Annexe
Directly connected to the main residence, this impressive wing features extensive reception areas with stone flooring and underfloor heating throughout. A fully equipped kitchen and formal dining room open onto a magnificent full-length stone terrace overlooking the gardens and grounds, creating the perfect setting for entertaining. Upstairs, a spectacular Great Hall with a minstrel's gallery, accessed via a grand stone staircase, provides a truly memorable space for gatherings and events.
Independent Apartments & Garaging
A separate two-storey stone building houses two well-appointed independent apartments, each offering two bedrooms and comfortable accommodation for guests, extended family or rental opportunities. Beneath, the lower ground floor incorporates a four-car garage and workshop, offering exceptional versatility with scope for additional accommodation (subject to the necessary permissions) or conversion into stabling for up to five horses.
The estate is surrounded by mature gardens, and approximately 300 metres of frontage along the River Hers. The property's meadows and fields extend on both sides of a quiet country lane that passes alongside the estate, creating an attractive and practical division of the land while maintaining a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The property also benefits from access to the local Voie Verte, offering miles of walking, cycling and riding routes through the surrounding countryside.
While the property would benefit from some finishing off and cosmetic improvements, it remains a substantial and impressive estate. Priced competitively to reflect the work required and to encourage a timely sale, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a significant country estate with exceptional potential, in a highly desirable setting, beteween Chalabre and Mirepoix.
