Beautiful house, pool, grounds, outbuildings and gites

  • Glorious spacious house
  • Pool and over 10h of land
  • Possible wedding venue
  • Several gites rented long term with healthy revenue
  • Various outbuildings with potential for development
  • Close to Carcassonne
This large country estate was built around 1850 on 10.5 hectares of land.

The attractive main house, built in the Italian style, is tastefully renovated over 2 floors.

On the lower ground floor is the old servants' kitchen and a boiler room. (Solar panels are being installed to heat the water in the summer months) A vaulted wine cave, and a gym equipped with sauna, jacuzzi and hammam spa, a housekeepers bedroom and bathroom and access to full height cellars and workshop with exterior access.
On the main floor a lovely light and bright reception hall, library, kitchen, salon,study and dining room lead to a staircase with original painted plaster. To the first floor (on the half landing a wc and access to the back staircase leading to the annex with 2 bedrooms and the gite). On the first floor a wide "library" corridor with 4 large ensuite double bedrooms and an adjoining smaller 5th bedroom with access onto a corridor with wc.

On the 2nd floor a further 196m2 of habitable space in the process of renovation with the newly insulated ceiling and restored exposed beams, 2 bedrooms with a functional bathroom, a study, and a lounge area, plus 2 further bedrooms and shower rooms to finish ( plumbing etc. all in place).

Next to the main house and accessible from the back staircase or outside and through the gravelled courtyard, there is the gite/loft of 200m2 spread over 2 floors, with 4 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an ensuite shower room. It sleeps 13 with the potential for 16 by opening the 2 annex ensuite bedrooms (one with kitchenette and stairs to a ground floor terrace). There is a spacious lounge with a fireplace, a large dining kitchen, and TV area. All are serviced by fuel central heating system, a wood fire and a 200L water heater) The gite currently rents for €3900 per week.

From the lounge on the first floor, there is also access to a large space the owners are planning to convert into a function room (312m2); the ground floor with its 2 wine vats will be used for car parking and storage. Next to the entrance to gite is a private walled courtyard with 2 ancient wine presses on either side.

To the left of the property, there are several stone-built dependencies: workers' cottages, garages, storerooms and workshops. 4/5 cottages are currently rented long-term and bring a healthy income. There is also a 2 storey stables to renovate, and a barn which currently is storing farm equipment. A further building is currently under renovation with 3 floors and could work beautifully as a function room and car park or something else?

To the right of the main property is the chapel built in 1885 it is built in a 15th-century gothic style.This is too dangerous to keep open at the moment but would provide a wonderful backdrop for weddings and events.

Behind this the owners have plans for a large marquee for events which would be close to the old servants' kitchen, for the catering services to use. In front of the property is a 14x7m swimming pool (chlorine) with a concertina glass cover and a newly tiled sun terrace. Also a small lake with weeping willow. In the immediate grounds are plane trees, cedar and an enormous magnolia tree. The owners have plans to create a rose garden in front the steps leading to the main entrance.

Road safety permitting, the old gates to the property could be reinstated with a long gravel drive leading to the main house..this would give the gite and dependencies separate access.

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
