A Rare Domain Between Sky and Horizon
Nestled in the heart of the Aude countryside, just 75 km from Toulouse, 20 minutes from Carcassonne and Castelnaudary, and only 8 minutes from the motorway, this extraordinary estate unfolds across 50 hectares of uninterrupted land, 10 of which are fully enclosed.

Originally an 18th-century sheepfold, this rare and authentic property has been meticulously restored to blend timeless character with contemporary comfort. For many years, it served as the discreet private retreat of a celebrated French actor and passionate equestrian - a heritage that lends the estate an undeniable sense of soul and story.

A Commanding Position. An Unforgettable View.
Set on a dominant ridge line, the estate commands a breathtaking 360° panorama :
• North - the majestic Montagne Noire
• South - the Malpère massif, with the snow-capped Pyrenees as a spectacular backdrop

This sweeping, unobstructed landscape is unique in the Aude - conferring upon the property a sense of grandeur, light and silence that must be experienced to be fully understood.
