Discreetly set back from the road and within easy walking distance of the heart of the medieval walled village of Alet-les-Bains, this highly characterful property offers a wonderfully individual home in an exceptional riverside setting.

Alet-les-Bains is a charming medieval village and popular tourist destination, renowned for its historic surroundings, thermal heritage and relaxed atmosphere, with a seasonal restaurant and café as well as amenities open throughout the year.

Set directly alongside the River Aude, the property enjoys private access to the river and a particularly delightful garden, culminating in a terrace at the far end overlooking the water – a wonderful place to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The house itself is unusual in design, with an upside-down layout designed to make the most of the garden and riverside setting.

On the ground floor are 3 bedrooms, 2 overlook the garden, while the 3rd is currently used as an office. There is also a comfortable lounge and a bathroom with shower and WC.

Stairs lead down to the garden level where you will find a generous open-plan kitchen and dining room, together with a useful utility room. These rooms open directly onto a large terrace, creating an easy flow between the house and garden and providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is also a practical storage/workshop area.

The garden can be accessed by car through large wrought-iron gates to one side, providing secure off-road parking. The Mediterranean-style garden is beautifully planted with palm trees and other established vegetation, while large windows throughout the house bring the garden and river views into the living spaces.

One of the property’s most appealing features is its individuality. The architecture is full of character and an interesting past (ask us for details), with an unusual shape and rooms that are far from conventional rectangular spaces, creating a home with a distinctive personality and a sense of originality rarely found in more modern properties.

With its riverside position, private garden, unusual architecture and proximity to the medieval heart of Alet-les-Bains, this is a property that offers a genuine lifestyle opportunity – equally suited to those looking for a permanent home, a peaceful second residence or a property with potential for holiday use.

A truly individual home in an enchanting riverside setting, just moments from the historic centre of Alet-les-Bains.
