Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Carcassonne, France

A46271BK11 - Behind an unassuming façade in one of Carcassonne’s most desirable residential neighborhoods lies a truly exceptional property. A masterclass in elegant 1950s architecture seamlessly updated for modern luxury living, this pristine 425 m² residence offers an exclusive lifestyle just a short stroll from the vibrant town center and the majestic UNESCO World Heritage Medieval Cité.

The interior living spaces are defined by their generous volumes and refined materials. A standout feature of the ground floor is the glorious heated veranda. Bathed in natural light and equipped with electric blinds, this versatile living space opens directly onto the spectacular grounds, beautifully blurring the line between indoors and out to be enjoyed year-round.

The upper levels house five magnificent, beautifully proportioned suites. Each is meticulously decorated and boasts its own private en-suite bathroom with a toilet. Because the property was previously operated as a highly successful boutique Bed & Breakfast, these rooms offer the ultimate in privacy and high-end comfort. It is completely turnkey for anyone looking to relaunch a profitable hospitality business (historic financial records available) or simply accommodate a large family in absolute luxury.

The property’s crown jewel is arguably its exterior: a stunning 700m² walled, landscaped garden. This lush, mature "secret garden" is a rare haven of tranquility in an urban setting. Nestled within these leafy grounds is a fully independent guest house, ideal for generating additional rental income, hosting friends, or serving as comfortable owners' accommodation while running a business.

No expense has been spared on modern conveniences and technical upgrades. The property benefits from double-glazed windows fitted with solar blinds, reversible air conditioning in all rooms, and an efficient gas central heating system. Further practical features include a fully insulated loft, high-speed fibre optic internet connection throughout, and a cellar that houses a private well, providing a highly convenient and eco-friendly water source for maintaining the garden.

Secure parking—an absolute premium in the city center—is exceptionally well-catered for. The property includes a private double garage. Furthermore, the current owners possess three additional garages and one parking space in an adjacent underground car park, which are available for purchase via separate negotiation. This brilliant setup meant that during their B&B operation, they could guarantee a dedicated parking space for every single guest room—a massive competitive advantage for future owners.

Beyond the gates of this spectacular home, the location is unbeatable. Carcassonne boasts excellent connectivity, featuring its own international airport and a well-serviced train station, making it easily accessible for international guests or frequent travelers. For leisure, the property is conveniently close to a superb local golf course, as well as the stunning landscapes and vineyards of the surrounding Occitanie region. This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a prestigious, turnkey estate in one of the South of France's most iconic cities.
