Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Monze, France

A42573AGU11 - Set in the heart of the village of Monze, directly beside the river, this substantial stone house offers approx. 196 m² of living space arranged over several split levels. Packed with authentic features including exposed stone walls, original wooden beams and terracotta-style flooring, it combines strong character with a flexible layout.

One of the home’s standout features is the impressive double-height living room. Exposed stonework and heavy timber beams create a striking sense of volume, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere. A mezzanine level overlooks the space and can be used as a reading corner, office area or occasional sleeping space, depending on your needs.

The kitchen/dining room is spacious and welcoming, well suited to day-to-day living and entertaining. There is ample room for a large dining table, making it an easy space for relaxed meals with family and friends.

The property offers three bedrooms, with the main bedroom being particularly generous and providing direct access to a ground-level outdoor area. The home has two bathrooms: one with a shower and WC, and the other with a bathtub and WC.

Practical spaces are well integrated throughout, including a utility/laundry area and a small garage/storage space (not suitable for a car), ideal for bikes, workshop use or general storage.

There is a spacious games room currently with a ping pong table (15m2).

Outside, the house benefits from two distinct outdoor areas: a small garden of around 20 m² on the ground floor, and an upper terrace of approx. 33 m² on the top floor. The terrace is a real highlight, with stunning open views over the old bridge, surrounding vineyards and the mountains, creating a memorable setting for outdoor dining, reading or evening drinks.

A further advantage is a non-adjoining plot of land nearby, suitable for use as a vegetable garden.

Location-wise, Monze is a traditional village surrounded by vineyards and rolling countryside. It offers a peaceful setting while remaining well connected: around 15 minutes to Carcassonne, about 10 minutes to shops and supermarkets in Trèbes, close to Lac de la Cavayère for swimming and outdoor activities, and with easy access to the A61 autoroute linking Toulouse and Narbonne. The Mediterranean coast, including Narbonne-Plage, is under an hour away.

With its generous volumes, riverside position, and exceptional terrace views, this is a distinctive village home offering character, comfort and versatility.
