Step into a piece of French history and imagine life in the sunny South of France, surrounded by vineyards, canals, and centuries of charm. This exceptional property, located in the heart of the picturesque village of Sallèles-d’Aude, consists of two houses on one plot, sharing a 63 m2 private courtyard, and partially built into what remains of the ancient château of Sallèles-d’Aude — including its only surviving 1,000-year-old tower. The building is classified as a Monument Historique – a rare distinction that guarantees historic significance and characte
This unique setup offers endless possibilities: Live in one home and rent out the other, or share the space with extended family while maintaining privacy and independence. Both homes are fully insulated with glass wool, equipped with double glazing and wooden shutters throughout, preserving comfort while honoring traditional character.
The first house, currently rented as a furnished holiday home during high season, is sold fully furnished. It has a welcoming 17 m2 entrance hall with doors on either side: One opening to the street and the other to the courtyard. The ground floor includes a 25 m2 living room with a wood-burning stove, a 14 m2 dining room on the opposite corner of the house, an adjoining 9 m2 kitchen, a 3.5 m2 bathroom with shower and sink and a separate toilet.
Upstairs, you’ll find a 9 m2 landing, three charming bedrooms (13 m2,13 m2, and 14 m2), and a spacious 15 m2 bathroom complete with shower, toilet, sink, and bidet. This home is heated and cooled with reversible air-conditioning units (clim réversible) and wood stove.
The second house also has both street and courtyard access. Entering from the street brings you directly into the 33 m2 living room with a 3.5-meter-high ceiling and wood-burning stove. From the courtyard, you pass through a small hallway into the 27 m2 open kitchen, which leads to a 20 m2 dining space and the living room. There is also a beautiful 19 m2 bathroom with a freestanding iron tub, toilet, and sink located in the round tower — an architectural gem on its own.
On the first floor, a large 27 m2 landing leads to a vast 53 m2 bedroom, a storage room, and a 12 m2 chapel room set inside the medieval tower, complete with its original period window. Above this is a mezzanine level with views over the landing, leading to the top floor, which hosts another bedroom (18 m2), an open 6.5 m2 bathroom, and access to a 22 m2 16th-century pigeonnier, which has been fully cleaned and awaits your personal touch.
While there is no private garage, street parking is available, and a secure nearby parking spot can be rented for just €30/month. The living room in the larger house remains naturally cool in summer, and the bedrooms are equipped with air-conditioning (clim réversible).
This is a rare chance to own part of France’s living heritage, combining architectural grandeur, modern comfort, and a setting rich in history and Southern charm.
Sallèles-d’Aude is a vibrant village surrounded by vineyards and intersected by the peaceful Canal de Jonction, a charming waterway linking to the famous Canal du Midi. You’ll find restaurants, a weekly market, shops, a wine cooperative, and even a Roman pottery museum — all within walking distance.
The houses are quietly tucked away in a cul-de-sac, offering peace and privacy, yet they’re just a few steps from the canal and a short walk to the lively village centre. It’s an ideal blend of authentic village life and tranquil surroundings, perfect for those seeking the good life in the South of France.
