Full Description
A fabulous seven bed formal house and associated other properties for a total of 12 bedrooms (543 m² of habitable space) comprise this rural domain set between two hillsides in 24 hectares ( 59 acres) of parkland, gardens, meadows and woodland.
The property is approached by a private driveway, passing a large in-ground swimming pool, terrace and outbuilding.
Ample parking, garaging and workshops service the estate.
The main house is set back from a large terrace shaded by centennial trees. The dappled light cast onto the facade is quite lovely.
As well as the main house there are a 3 bedroom gite, (studio), a spacious 2 bedroom apartment, and a loft to develop.
The buildings are configured on an L shape. Behind the main house and with a second terrace in attendance, are the self-contained ground floor gite and above it an attic space of 134m2 ripe for development.
On the far side of this wing is the 2 bed apartment (requiring minor works to finish and personalize) and the garages and storage areas.
The domain, which needs some updating works, would make a privileged main residence with separate guest accommodation, or a commercial venture.
In recent years it has been a much loved family home welcoming several generations of a large family for cherished time together.
Several local villages have shops and community services.
The renowned larger town of Carcassonne is 20 minutes distant, offering an airport linking directly to the Uk, Ireland, Portugal, North Africa, Sardinia and Belgium, a Tgv railway station, and a direct link to the motorway network.
The Unesco World Heritage site of La Cité (Carcassonne) attracts millions of visitors annually.
