Estate of 5 ha with gites and pool for sale. Aude

At the end of a country lane, surrounded by fields and wooded groves, on a south facing slope, and with far-reaching unobstructed views to the Pyrenees lies this small Domaine. This is a place of calm and tranquillity, and a location difficult to match.

The imposing stone built main house of 370m2 lies at the centre of the park. This house has 4 reception rooms on the ground floor: a salon of 50m2, a large fully fitted kitchen/diner with high quality units and stone worktops, a TV lounge and a conservatory/breakfast room.

An oak staircase leads to 6 large bedrooms (4 with their own shower or bathrooms) and an additional shower room. The house is heated using air source heat pumps, and is double glazed throughout.

The Domaine also includes 2 additional houses (100m2 and 85m2), each with comfortable living area, modern fitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each house has gas central heating. In total the property provides 10 bedrooms, and 9 shower/bathrooms.

Outside you will discover award winning gardens, providing areas of sun and shade, two walled courtyards, and lawned areas, all well stocked with flowers, shrubs and trees. There is a large heated swimming pool (12mx 5m), well fenced, and with a spacious paved surround. Also a piste de boules, a pond, 2 stone outbuildings, and on the boundary a small stream. There is ample parking for 15 cars. The land extends to 5.7 hectares.

Currently the owners live in the large central house, and the two other houses are used for short term lets, generating a substantial income. There is scope to increase this income, or to use these houses for guests, relatives or staff. Whilst secluded, the house provides easy access to centres of interest, such as Carcassonne, Toulouse, the sea, the mountains and Spain. Over the last 10 years the houses have been extensively renovated and improved. There is no work to be done on this beautiful property. It is very well maintained, and I will be delighted to show it to you.
