Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Limoux, France

A36760NE11 - Situated in a stunning location amongst woods, fields and vineyards, this domaine looks over the surrounding countryside and the Pyrenees beyond. It offers countless possibilities for functions, developing a rural collective or multiple gîtes. There is also the possibility to purchase parts of the current company that runs the domaine rather than the whole property.

The property features five large buildings, a pool and multiple smaller buildings spread over 1.2 hectares. The domaine itself extends for over 83 hectares into the surrounding hills including woods, fields, plenty of parking, a camping area, a grove of almond trees and a 3000m2 vegetable garden.

The impressive main house looks out over a mature garden with a more intimate walled garden behind. The property includes seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, a large open dining area with adjoining kitchen and back kitchen, ideal for hosting large groups or events. There are three more living rooms on the ground floor and a large space used as a music room with a separate entrance. Leading from the kitchen is a workshop with access to the garden at the rear and on the top floor a large open attic space is ideal for storage or could be converted into a studio or living space. The whole property benefits from high ceilings and large windows, with views over the countryside and to the mountains.

Adjoining the main house is the tower and additional living space in need of renovation. The tower is a stunning historic feature of the domaine that is believed to have origins in the 12th century. This part of the property is divided into around 10 rooms, over 3 floors with around 200m2 of potential habitable space.

The entire property benefits from a recently installed sewage treatment that in capable of treating all the waste water from the currently inhabited buildings and those that could be turned into habitable space as well.

Surrounded by mature trees and with a sheltered garden to the front you find an independent building that is currently used as a gîte for groups. This property has a large open kitchen diner leading into a generous living room. An additional living room and utility could be separated in order to create two gîtes with one bedroom and bathroom in the second part and four bedrooms and three bathrooms on the larger side of the house.

A third large house sits slightly below these two properties with a beautiful garden and terrace wrapped around the entrance. This property offers another spacious kitchen and dining room, a living room with an open fire, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The views from the front bedroom are simply breathtaking with the whole of the southern Aude stretched out before you.

Two smaller studios have been recently built on the hillside below the main buildings, both with terraces maximizing the view and double glazing for comfort whatever the season.

A former wine store has been converted into a large garage and workshop with a function room of around 250m2 above, ideal for concerts or large gatherings, with a terrace to the front to appreciate the gorgeous setting.

Below the main house is the 14x4m pool which sits at the foot of the hillside, to make the most of the panorama, so you can soak in the mountain views whilst taking a dip on a warm day.

A short walk from the main buildings is a circular vegetable garden covering around 3000m2 including a greenhouse tunnel and with a well and pump for irrigation. An area set aside for camping offers an additional business possibility and the rolling hills, woods and fields provide tons of potential for livestock, horses or just long walks and beautiful views, in this picturesque spot.

Come and discover this charming piece of French countryside and make your French dream come true.
