Accessed via a 200-metre private drive through stone gates, this elegant 18th-century estate offers complete privacy just minutes from Carcassonne’s unesco-listed mediaeval Cité and the Canal du Midi.
The main house opens through imposing double oak doors into a 26m2 entrance hall, with a dramatic galleried stone staircase lit by original stained-glass windows. The first floor features a formal dining room (31m2), elegant drawing room (30m2) with French doors to the terrace, a study (13m2), hallway to the rear terrace (5m2), and a charming 23m2 farmhouse kitchen with open fireplace in local Caunes marble, plus a pantry. Original parquet and tiled floors are beautifully preserved throughout.
Also on the first floor is a spacious double bedroom (19m2) with a private ensuite (10m2).
On the second floor are three further bright double bedrooms (11m2,15m2,14.9m2) and a generous family bathroom (11.5m2), along with large, convertible attics offering further development potential.
The property is impeccably maintained, with oil-fired central heating recently upgraded with an energy-efficient heat pump. All windows are double-glazed, and a modern security system is in place.
Annex:
Ground floor: Boiler room, storeroom, wine cellar.
First floor: Double bedroom with ensuite shower and WC, and additional storage.
Second floor: Two bedrooms and a shower room with WC.
This building could be reconfigured into an independent guest house or staff accommodation.
Cottages & Rental Income:
Four charming stone cottages (55–75m2 each), arranged over two floors, are currently rented and generate approximately €22,000 in annual income. Each cottage includes a living room, kitchen, 2–3 bedrooms, a wood-burning stove, parking space, and a small garden.
Grounds & Outbuildings:
The landscaped formal gardens (2,600m2) are filled with Mediterranean trees and flowering shrubs. An orangerie offers potential for conversion into a summer kitchen or entertainment space. Four natural springs provide reliable irrigation, and there is ample space to install a swimming pool. The wooded park surrounds the estate.
Outbuildings include:
Double garage
Tractor and wood stores
Former stables, cow byre, sheepfold, and blacksmith’s forge
Two covered parking bays
Vineyard Potential:
An adjacent winery and vineyards, formerly part of the estate, are for sale by separate negotiation, offering a unique opportunity for those interested in viticulture or wine tourism. (Information on request)
