EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This unique building was originally part of a small complex owned and run by artists, and it shows. Currently, the property is configured as a ground floor given over to a huge studio/workshop with its own little shower room, and 2 spacious, characterful apartments on the first and second floors. The layout works well, but there are many opportunities for creative reimagining (subject to necessary permissions).

Both upper floors have direct access to a stunning terrace with sculptured features, carved wooden fixtures and beautifully designed tiling all crafted by an internationally acclaimed sculptor. The exceptional courtyard wooden furniture, designed and made by the artist, is included in the sale (subject to separate negotiation). From the terrace, there is a laundry room, a separate toilet, and steps leading up to a fabulous studio space. Steps down from the terrace lead to a private, attractive garden.

The upper floor apartment has an open plan kitchen, dining and living space with steps up to a spacious, light mezzanine, which offers endless opportunities for purpose. From the living space, there is a characterful bathroom, a bedroom, a dressing room and an office or additional bedroom. The first-floor apartment has two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and a lovely living space with a creative aesthetic. The apartments have large windows offering stunning views.

High ceilings, light, a sense of flow and wonderful views over the surrounding fields and the forested hills beyond engender an inspiring environment for creativity and wellbeing. The property is situated on the edge of a very pretty village with good amenities, direct access to the magnificent ‘Voie Verte’, and the glorious swimming lake of Montbel is just minutes away.

Carcassonne airport and the ski slopes are reached in under an hour, and the property is 5 kms from the lively town of Chalabre.

This exceptional property has been loved and respected, and the current owners leave with reluctance. If you are looking for originality, as well as comfort and a haven for a creative and healthy lifestyle, then seize the moment and book a viewing today!
