Property description

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a “domaine” on the banks of the Canal du Midi, close to a lively village just a few kilometres from the world-famous mediaeval city and town of Carcassonne. This estate totals 72 hectares bearing 9 different varieties of vine, olive plantations and orchards. The built property has been renovated to a very high standard and includes two principal properties of over 800m² together with gîtes and outbuildings, making a further 2000m², some of which has building permission. Beautifully restored stonework, spacious salons with traditional decorative tiling, fitted kitchens, arched windows, are just some of the beautiful features which distinguish these properties. Outside are peaceful terraces and landscaped gardens with two pools, lit by night, and breathtaking views towards the distant hills. The present owners run several business activities, including a well-established holiday lettings business. Tourism in this fabulously beautiful area - for which the highlights are the world heritage sites of the Cité de Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi, amongst a myriad of castles, abbeys and churches, not forgetting the vineyards, the beaches and the mountains - is on the up and up. The estate turnover is increasing and it can be clearly demonstrated that there are future growth prospects. Included in the sale is 2.8 hectares of constructible and well-placed land.
