This lovely old stone 6 bedroom property has an interesting past as a traveller’s inn dating back to Roman times. It is set amongst beautiful countryside on a quiet back road but close to amenities.

The property has been renovated to provide a large family home with plenty of room for privacy or three independent dwellings which have could provide a home and a substantial revenue (possible gite business – subject to necessary permissions).

The ensemble consists of 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, 2 separate gardens and a plunge pool. There is also another small one bedroom property attached which requires a bit of finishing included in the price which would provide another dwelling.

It is perfect launchpad for any number of tourist related activities and has, in recent times, been run as a successful holiday rental business for the owners as well as a home for them (for future rentals, a future owner would need to reapply for the necessary permissions). With 3 separate entrances it has been configured to provide a totally private setting for the owners and their guests to be co-located without ever running into each other.

Close by are a supermarket, swimming lake and beach bar/restaurant which is open during the summer months as well as a further one open year round. The property is also only 4km away from the town centre which has banks, bars, restaurants, doctors, a 12th century castle, riverside activities, schools and good transport links to both Perpignan on the Mediterranean coast and Carcassonne.

The property is within 2 hours of 5 international airports at Carcassonne (55 minutes), Beziers, Toulouse, Perpignan, Girona in Spain. It is less than an hour to skiing or the Mediterranean coastline.

The village itself is made up of a really friendly community of local families, some of whom have grown up here and returned from larger cities to bring up their children here, international and French permanent residents looking for a country idyll but not wanting to be too isolated.

If you are a cycling fanatic or sports enthusiast, the property is on the Cathar trail, is regularly on the Tour de France route, and is surrounded by hiking trails. If you are a nature lover, the surrounding fields are covered in rare orchids in the Spring.

Whether you are looking for a great new home or a great new income this place is a must-see!
