9 bedroom house for sale

This former farmstead dating back to the 17th century sits in 89 hectares of virgin countryside in absolute tranquility. The property enjoys a sheltered aspect despite feeling very much on top of the world with far reaching views of the Cité of Carcassonne in one direction and the Pyrennees in the other. The approach is via a long private driveway and with the nearest neighbour being over a kilometre away it is an exceptionally secluded spot. With the Malpères hills providing shelter on one side the property enjoys an unusually still environment to enjoy the sound of nothing but the birds. On the ground floor one enters into a gallery which takes you to two grand living spaces, one either side with a large kitchen in the heart of the property and a space that has been converted into a private friends apartment with two bedrooms (both ensuite), a separate living and kitchen area and access to the South facing garden, summer kitchen and pool area. Upstairs are a further 8 large bedrooms, again that have also been divided to provide privacy so that a large family or multiple friends could live here with independent space. The land is made up of meadowland, forest and a paddock. There is potential to have a smallholding here or just enjoy being part of nature. Allow yourself to be captivated by this haven of tranquillity which has the potential to be a luxurious family home, yoga retreat or a variety of different tourist activities and business ventures (possible gite business - subject to necessary permissions).
