Property description

Main house plus 6 Gites
Beautifully renovated
Multiple income possibilities
Private setting near Carcassonne

Currently managed as a successful Chambres d'Hotes (B and B) with additional self-catering accommodation. The property comprises 7 separate units (main house plus six Gites) which have been restored over the past 14 years with taste and quality fittings. This is a fabulous example of a historic building that has been sympathetically renovated to enable modern living in a charming and significant building.

The main house is laid out over 650m2 made up of very large living room (123m2) and big dining room, 8 bedrooms (5 with ensuite bathroom), 2 kitchens (plus a third summer kitchen outside), office and large terrace.

Gite 1: 40m2 - kitchen/lounge, mezzanine bedroom and separate shower/WC
Gite 2: 120m2 - open-plan kitchen/diner, lounge, 4 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms, 2 WC
Gite 3: 80m2 - kitchen, lounge, 2 bedrooms, shower room, WC
Gite 4: 60m2 - kitchen/lounge, mezzanine bedroom and separate shower/WC
Gite 5: Kitchen, lounge, 2 bedrooms, mezzanine and separate shower/WC
Gite 6: open-plan studio with separate shower/WC

Outside pool - 15m shared by main house and the Gites

Outbuildings include a large and fully equipped barn with all the material needed to look after the property, including vines (equipment optional). 5 stables and two associated rooms (tack room etc). Both these spaces could be developed into further accommodation offering 130m2 and 140m2 of space respectively. Further away from the house is a large swimming pool with seating terrace surrounding it.

The 29 hectares of land (72.5 acres) is comprised of 4.6 hectares (11.5 acres) of vines generating 40 hectolitres of red, rose and white wine per annum, a 1 hectare (2.5 acres) lake, with the remaining 24 hectares (60 acres) made up of meadow and woodland. The lake is not currently exploited however it is very suitable for development as a fishing business; pending planning permission, a dozen or so log cabins around the lake would offer an excellent return on investment and generate reveues over a much longer season than standard Gites.

The property sits within a very pretty valley not far from the World Heritage site of Carcassonne and a short drive from the airports of Carcassonne, Toulouse, Beziers, Montpellier and Perpignan. The property would make a fabulous private home as well as being an excellent opportunity to be managed as a holiday destination or holistic retreat.
