For those looking for space, privacy and a rural setting without feeling isolated, this characterful detached villa offers an attractive combination. Set in the green countryside of the Aude, the property comes with approximately 2.8 hectares of private land, including a large open meadow, mature trees and its own woodland. Both Carcassonne and Limoux are around 20 minutes away.
The house has a distinctive character with Basque influences, including white rendered façades, deep red timberwork, generous roof overhangs and a large covered balcony. Inside, there is approximately 173 m² of living space, complemented by a substantial basement of around 90 m² and a large attic.
A spacious entrance hall leads into the bright living and dining area of approximately 41 m². The two spaces flow naturally into one another, with a wood-burning stove creating a welcoming focal point. Alongside is the fitted kitchen of approximately 12 m², with direct access outside.
A real advantage is the generous ground-floor bedroom suite of approximately 28 m², with built-in wardrobes and its own shower room and WC. This makes comfortable single-level living possible.
A characterful wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three further bedrooms of approximately 12, 15 and 16 m² and a second shower room with WC. Two bedrooms open directly onto the large covered balcony overlooking the grounds and surrounding greenery. This floor also includes a large attic, currently used mainly for practical storage.
Beneath the house is an approximately 90 m² basement incorporating a garage, cellar and technical room, with plenty of additional space for storage, bicycles, garden equipment or a workshop.
Outside is where the property really comes into its own. Behind the house, a large open meadow is bordered by an impressive line of mature trees. The property also includes its own woodland, through which a small stream runs. With approximately 2.8 hectares in total, there is plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors and surrounding nature.
The property is well suited to either permanent living or as a spacious second home in the South of France: peaceful and rural, yet with villages and amenities within easy reach. Historic Carcassonne and the lively market town of Limoux are both approximately 20 minutes away.
A distinctive home offering generous practical space and beautiful private grounds – ideal for those looking for space and nature in the South of France without being completely remote.
