Villa in Carcassonne, Aude

Exclusive to beaux villages! Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Aude, just a short drive from Castelnaudary, the renowned cassoulet capital, this versatile estate features a beautifully renovated main house and three independent cottages, representing an excellent opportunity for those looking for a family home with income-generating potential (subject to the necessary permissions) or wishing to embrace a new lifestyle in the south of France.

The Main House
The principal residence has been thoughtfully restored to offer a comfortable and inviting family home, blending traditional charm with modern convenience. The main house offers spacious living throughout and enjoys delightful views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. With minimal modifications, the main house could be adapted to create an additional separate gîte (subject to necessary permissions) alongside the family accommodation, allowing for extra flexibility and potential.

In addition to the main residence, the property comprises three independent cottages.
Cottage 1: 3 bedrooms
Cottage 2: 2 bedrooms
Cottage 3: 2 bedrooms and a mezzanine

One of the property’s most charming features is the picturesque stone pathway that connects the gîtes to the fully walled and secure swimming pool, accessed by a security code. Softly lit in the evenings, the pathway creates a welcoming ambiance for guests returning after an evening swim.

Gardens and Outdoor Space
The grounds offer ample room to relax and appreciate the surroundings. Mature trees, sprawling lawns, and established landscaping create a serene atmosphere where children can play, guests can unwind, and outdoor dining can be enjoyed throughout the warmer months.

Barn with Future Potential
A substantial double-arched barn adds considerable value to the property. Subject to the necessary planning consents, it could be adapted for various future uses (subject to permissions), including:
- Additional guest accommodation
- An events or function space
- A games room or leisure area
- A workshop or studio
- Storage for classic vehicles or equipment

Surrounded by open countryside, the property provides a peaceful haven where birdsong replaces traffic noise, yet it remains convenient for schools, shops, and all daily amenities. Castelnaudary, set on the famous Canal du Midi, is celebrated for its vibrant markets, restaurants, and relaxed lifestyle, making this location ideal for both permanent residents and holidaymakers.
