Stone Village House with Majestic Views

Property Description

Summary
4 bedroom stone house in peaceful village, 20 minutes from Carcassonne airport and less than an hour from Toulouse and Narbonne. Ideal as a holiday/second home for any season. Its location gives excellent year-round short or long term rental potential.
Authentic terracotta floor tiles and high ceilings give both a traditional village feel and maintain a pleasant temperature in mid summer. Planning permission is already granted for a roof terrace, and also a garage door to replace the road entrance into the large 'cave' of 50m². But with its south facing window this could also be converted to an independent apartment. There is outside sitting space in the traffic free lane in front of the house.
In the village is a small cafe/grocery as well as other commerce in the 5 surrounding villages within 4 kms. Limoux with 4 supermarkets and all other services, is just 10 kms away. Situated on a small hill, giving great views, but equally importantly making flooding impossible.

Located between Carcassonne and the Mediterranean, and the Cathar castles and Pyrenees mountains, the winters are gentle and summer/autumn warm, dry and long. The 9000+ feet peaks and Pyrenees national parks are one and a half hours away, offering 9 french ski stations and beyond the vast ski areas of Andorra. And less than 90 minutes away are the beach resorts of Guissan and Narbonne plage. Around the village are lots of pleasant paths both through the vineyards and up on to small ridges with views in all directions. The quiet roads make cycling a good option for exploring the local area.

The towns of Carcassonne, Perpignan, Toulouse and Narbonne are easily accessed and offer many touristic sites/cultural events, railway stations, airports (Narbonne is served by Bezier airport) and motorway access to Montpellier, Girona and Barcelona.
