Description

A48142BK11 - This beautifully restored former miller’s house occupies a commanding position above the village of Rouffiac-d’Aude, surrounded by approximately 18,154 m² of land and enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views in every direction.

Reached via its own private driveway, the property immediately creates a strong sense of arrival. Beside the parking area stand the evocative remains of an old windmill, reflecting the history and distinctive character of the site.

THE MAIN HOUSE

The main house is spacious, welcoming and tastefully decorated in an elegant French country style. Its flexible accommodation can be enjoyed as a large family residence or used for holiday rentals, with the independent annex providing separate owners’ accommodation.

Ground floor:

The impressive, light-filled living room measures approximately 52 m² and features a fireplace and glazed doors opening directly onto the pool terrace. This generous room provides ample space for relaxing and entertaining.

A separate dining room of approximately 15 m² also benefits from doors opening outside, while the adjoining kitchen measures approximately 15 m².

The original entrance hall, now also used as a practical secondary kitchen, measures approximately 12 m² and includes a WC.

Also on this level is a bedroom of approximately 14 m² with direct access outside, together with a spacious bathroom of approximately 14 m² comprising a bath, separate shower and WC. This arrangement allows for comfortable ground-floor living.

An attached garage/barn of approximately 14 m² includes useful mezzanine storage.

First floor:

A spacious landing of approximately 15.5 m², enhanced by a characterful vaulted timber ceiling, leads to four individually styled bedrooms of approximately 18 m², 18 m², 16 m² and 9 m². Each room enjoys attractive countryside views.

This floor also includes a bathroom and a separate WC.

THE INDEPENDENT GITE

It comprises a triple-aspect open-plan living and dining room of approximately 28 m², featuring a beautiful vaulted ceiling, together with a separate kitchen of approximately 8 m².

The bedroom measures approximately 14 m² and has glazed doors opening onto its own private garden. A bathroom of approximately 8 m² completes the accommodation.

OUTSIDE

The property stands within approximately 1.8 hectares of sloping grounds, giving it privacy, space and its exceptional elevated outlook.

The swimming pool and surrounding terrace enjoy the magnificent open views and have previously been reserved exclusively for holiday guests. There are several areas for outdoor dining, relaxing and enjoying the peaceful setting.

The remains of the historic windmill provide an unusual architectural feature and a memorable focal point on arrival.


The combination of a spacious five-bedroom main house and an independent one-bedroom gîte offers excellent flexibility and strong rental potential.

The property could work equally well as a large family home with private guest accommodation, a multigenerational residence, or the basis for a holiday-letting or tourism project, subject to the relevant regulations.

LOCATION

The property is situated at Rouffiac-d’Aude, conveniently positioned between the historic fortified city of Carcassonne and the lively town of Limoux.

Carcassonne, its international airport and the A61 autoroute are all easily accessible. Mediterranean beaches can be reached in approximately one hour, while the Pyrenean ski resorts and the Spanish border are also within comfortable driving distance.

A rare opportunity to acquire an elegant and highly versatile property offering complete privacy, exceptional views and proven holiday-rental appeal in one of the most attractive parts of the Aude.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
