Farmhouse Gite Complex on 0.8 Hectare between Carcassonne & Mirepoix

Property Description

Summary
This 18th century farmhouse was built at the beginning of the French Revolution and in the 1980s some of the outbuildings were converted to provide 4 gîtes. In addition to the main house and gîtes, there is a large barn and three storage areas at one end of the main building which offer the potential for further development. There are two open-sided barns, one used as a shady games area and the other providing covered parking with a spacious workshop to the rear which houses the main pool filtration system.

The buildings are set on just over 0.8 hectare of land, much of which is wooded. There is an area which was used as a small campsite on one side of the property, along with a shower block and parking spaces. Between the main building and the drive is a 12.5 x 5m swimming pool and children’s paddling pool in a spacious enclosed terrace area.
