Peniche on the Canal du Midi (Near Carcassonne).

Property Description

Magnificent Dutch barge dating from 1905, renovated in 2019. Moored on the Canal du Midi, not far from Carcassonne (the Canal du Midi and the City of Carcassonne are listed as UNESCO World Heritage), it can navigate on all canals of France, the Rhine, the Rhone thanks to its length of 26.5 m and its width of 4.65 m. The interior, very warm thanks to its wooden flooring and its brass portholes, offers 3 distinct spaces: at the front, the crew cabin at the rear, a small cabin and between the two, a relaxing living space. The living room, bathed in light thanks to its brass portholes offering direct views of the Canal, welcomes you in a comfortable and cozy manner with its dining area, its relaxation lounge area and a bar area: everything invites you to rest. The living room is extended by the kitchen: professional stainless steel equipment, 4-burner stove and hotplate, large oven, work surface. To follow, passing through a landing leading to a small technical room (hot water tank, black water tanks), you will access the 3 guest cabins: refined, each has its own bathroom and toilet, portholes in the bedrooms and bathrooms to enjoy the landscape at every moment. The exterior is just as charming and invites you to long moments of relaxation: the time of a lunch-dinner on the terrace (sheltered by an electric awning) admiring the landscape which passes before your eyes or the time of a nap in the sun, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to organizing your days. Completely overhauled in 2019, this barge offers the possibility of living at the dock or sailing, at your convenience, to Narbonne...or even further. Whether you are looking for an unusual place to live every day or for a few weeks a year (second home) or whether you dream of operating guest rooms or a cottage in an atypical place full of charm, you are in the right place . My opinion: a rare opportunity for an extraordinary life, in harmony with nature.
