Description

Steeped in 1850's glamour and timeless elegance, this splendid Bourgeois maison offers a rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent family residence, boutique guesthouse, or hospitality venture (subject to the necessary permissions), in the very centre of Carcassonne, the Canal du Midi and La Cité Medieval.



The ground floor, ready for refreshing and personalisation, comprises an impressive entrance hall, study, spacious laundry room, large double garage, and studio. With direct access to the garden, these spaces could be transformed into a breathtaking living and entertaining area reminiscent of the grandeur of a bygone era. Beneath the house, a traditional wine cellar awaits, perfect for selecting a favourite bottle of wine or champagne to enjoy in the garden.



The first floor features a kitchen, an elegant sitting room, a formal dining room, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. On the upper floor, a self-contained studio with a kitchenette, open-plan bedroom, and bathroom is complemented by a further four bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing generous accommodation for family and guests.



A charming walled garden, adorned with graceful palm trees and mature planting, provides a peaceful oasis in the city. Large enough to accommodate a cocktail-style swimming pool or Jacuzzi, the garden is equally enchanting as it stands today—an idyllic setting for al fresco dining and entertaining.



Thanks to its versatile layout and exceptional location, the property offers exciting potential as a bed and breakfast, boutique guesthouse, or restaurant (all subject to the necessary permissions), appealing to both tourists and professionals visiting the city.



Enjoy the very best of Carcassonne on foot. Stroll to shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, the cinema, and local churches. Arrive home directly from the train station without needing a car. Throughout the year, immerse yourself in the city's vibrant cultural life—from summer festivals, the Fête de la Musique, Spanish celebrations, and the spectacular Bastille Day fireworks. The world-famous medieval citadel of Carcassonne is on your doorstep, offering an unparalleled lifestyle in one of France's most captivating historic cities.



A truly exceptional property combining character, space, charm, and outstanding potential in an enviable central location.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

We have the know-how you need

Beaux Villages Immobilier is an estate agency with unbeatable local and legal knowledge; we are here to help every step of the way. Our central ethos is a complete respect for the life-changing events involved in buying or selling a property. So, if you have questions or need advice, fire away.

At every stage of the process from initial enquiry to the day of completion and beyond you will have a named contact in the company. Our expert sales team and dedicated, office-based administrative and legal professionals will be available at all times to take your call.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
