Large Family Home with Beautiful Pool, Landscaped Gardens and Land of 4 Acres.

Property Description

What a joy to offer this magnificent house for sale, which has been in the same family for over 20 years, nestled in a peaceful environment, yet only 15 minutes from Carcassonne. At the end of a lane and on the edge the village, you'll find tranquillity, surrounded by fields and trees, with the songs of birds to accompany you on the terrace during breakfast in the morning. Built in 2006 on the site of an old house and designed in the spirit of a wine cellar to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, combined with a modern minimalist style, this home offers exceptionally bright and spacious rooms with beautiful finishes—terracotta floors, marble, and wood. On the ground floor, there's a wide entrance hall benefitting from sliding doors along the length on one side, opening out on to a courtyard with vine-covered pergola. A bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, another bedroom with a sink, and a separate WC with a sink. The living/dining room boasts a double-height ceiling and has French doors on three sides, providing access to the garden, terrace, and stone Zen garden. The fully equipped kitchen features Spanish marble countertops and is equally bright with its four large windows overlooking the garden. Upstairs, there's a bedroom with its own terrace, a bathroom with a toilet, a mezzanine, and a guest bedroom or office. The property also includes a double garage and a closed shelter for storing summer furniture. The landscaped garden includes shrub planting, hedging and a shaded terrace (all in beautiful Limoux travertine stone) over-looking lawns and fruit trees. The mature gardens are all beautifully maintained and watered from the well via an automatic watering system. Nestled in one corner of the garden is the private pool area. Fabulous concrete bubble pool with a travertine surround and discrete pool house. The privacy of the house and garden is enhanced by an adjoining 2 hectare field, with useful potential, and in front by a poplar woodland and winter stream. The village, with a primary school, a hotel restaurant, shop summer snack bar, is just 15 minutes from Carcassonne with its medieval citadel, airport, motorways, and shops.
