SITUATION: In a mountain valley to the east of Limoux, at around 300 meters altitude, at the end of a dead-end road, a large, shady parking lot leads us into a particularly bucolic, wild and unspoilt environment. The overriding impression is one of calm and serenity. The property is just a few minutes from a village with local shops, 20 minutes from Limoux, 25 minutes from Carcassonne and its airport, 1h15 from the Mediterranean beaches, and 1h20 from Toulouse airport.
DESCRIPTION : Very old property which has been entirely renovated with taste and quality over the last 10 years. The buildings are located in the center of the land and are very well protected. Water is abundant thanks to springs and a highly productive artesian well. Water is stored in 2 tanks with a total capacity of 60,000 liters each !
BUILDINGS: There are 2 main buildings, photovoltaic panels and solar panels for hot water. They are complemented by a 12m x 3m above-ground concrete swimming pool, beautifully clad in wood.
A MAIN HOUSE 161 m2 that has been renovated in a warm, designer style, using noble materials. It is very well insulated thanks to wood and aluminum joinery. Heating is underfloor in the living room, then by radiators thanks to an efficient wood-fired boiler.
First floor: large living room with high ceilings. A kitchen, a storeroom, a boiler room, a storeroom and a toilet.
1st floor: The ground-floor living room leads to a mezzanine that leads to the master bedroom, bathroom and toilet. The whole is particularly bright.
3 GÎTES of 67, 48 et 44 m2, very welcoming, renovated to the same high standards as the house. Furnishings are included in the sale. They are rented thanks to very good reviews on rental websites.
A 100 m2 meeting room with 24 m2 shower and toilet, a technical room and kitchen, ideal for training courses, conferences, artist residencies...
Several outbuildings complete the ensemble.
A 650 m2 shepherd's henhouse is currently home to 5 donkeys, making the site ideal for agricultural activities such as beekeeping, raising goats, sheep, horses, donkeys and chickens. It is well separated from the residential buildings.
LAND: The 180 ha (450 acres) are all in one piece, entirely free of any tenancy, and comprise 40 ha (40 acres) of woods that could be farmed and 11 hectares of grassland, the remainder being heathland. The surrounding mountains rise to an altitude of 600 m. There are numerous fruit and olive trees. Permaculture has been developed here, and nature has been very well preserved. Fauna and flora are very present, and eagles, deer and butterflies can be seen in abundance...
3 km of new fencing in 2023
WHAT WE THINK: This site is a haven of peace, where you can recharge your batteries, but also create livestock. If we wish, we can be self-sufficient in water, heating, electricity and food! Ideal for a large family, but also for rental.
