A unique 'arty' and beautiful property in a glorious location
EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This unique building was originally part of a small complex owned and run by artists, and it shows. Currently, the property is configured as a ground floor given over to a huge studio/workshop with its own shower room, and 2 spacious, characterful apartments on the first and second floors. The layout works very well, but the property could also flow as one dwelling and there are many opportunities for creative reimagining (subject to necessary permissions).
The upper floor apartment has an open plan kitchen, dining and living space with steps up to a spacious, light mezzanine, which offers endless opportunities for purpose. From the living space, there is a characterful bathroom, a bedroom, a dressing room and an office or additional bedroom. The first-floor apartment has two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and a lovely living space with a creative aesthetic. The apartments have large double-glazed wooden windows, offering delightful countryside views and both apartments are heated by very high quality woodburners.
The outside areas consist of a private, attractive garden from which steps lead up to a beautiful studio, perfect for creative work or as a space for relaxation and wellbeing. There is also an exterior laundry room and separate toilet, but the 'pièce de reistance' of the property is the stunning courtyard, with its sculptured features, carved wooden fixtures and beautifully designed tiling, all crafted by an internationally acclaimed sculptor. The exceptional courtyard wooden furniture, designed and made by the artist, is included in the sale (subject to separate negotiation).
High ceilings, light, a sense of flow and the wonderful views over the surrounding fields and the forested hills beyond, engender an inspiring environment for creativity and wellbeing. The property is situated on the edge of a very pretty village with good amenities, direct access to the magnificent ‘Voie Verte’, and the glorious swimming lake of Montbel is just minutes away.
Carcassonne airport and the ski slopes are reached in under an hour, and the property is 5 kms from the lively town of Chalabre.
This exceptional property has been loved and respected, and the current owners leave with reluctance. If you are looking for originality, as well as comfort and a haven for a creative and healthy lifestyle, then seize the moment and book a viewing today!

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
