Nestling in over 6 acres of glorious land with gardens and pool, is this exquisite, elegantly refurbished 10 bedroom house with separate cottage, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location near all amenities in Carcassone.

This imposing, well proportioned Neoclassical manor house currently operates as a private members residence for a luxury holiday group.

Restored very recently, this is an attractive property which on entering has a sweeping staircase into a hallway awash with light from the large South facing windows to the back of the house.

On this first floor are two grand living rooms, two more large rooms currently arranged as studies and a dining room, all symmetrically arranged with high ceilings and beautifully decorated throughout. The finishing is spotless throughout with the walls and ceilings decorated in rococo plasterwork, the walls tastefully painted or upholstered with modern yet classical paper and polished floors throughout.

Up the huge central staircase a wide hallway leads to 10 bedrooms arranged into 8 suites. Each suite has an inner hall and a further door to enter the bedroom, lending each bedroom privacy and space. 6 of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms and 4 bedrooms share a bathroom with only one other bedroom but in a private suite setting. Everything has been renovated within the last two years and elegantly decorated.

On the ground floor is the fitted kitchen, scullery and storage rooms.

There is a third floor which provides either ample room for further storage or further development (subject to necessary permissions).

The property is set in a substantial mature landscaped garden with a large swimming pool and contains some impressive sculptures.

An attractive guardian cottage on the land is in need of total renovation but could provide a pretty and sizeable 3 or 4 bedroom guest house.

It has water and electricity already in place.

Situated less than 5 minutes from the Carcassonne airport and 10 minutes to the city centre, this property is far from the madding crowd set in wine country and yet easily accessible.

Carcassonne is midway between the commercial hubs of Toulouse and Montpelier. 2 million visitors come and visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of La Cite, the Festival of Carcassonne attracts 200,000 visitors a year and there is a healthy, growing cultural scene in the town.

Property prices in this part of the world have risen substantially in the past 12 months and continue to do so, as an investment opportunity this property is.
