Haus kaufen in Ginolen, Okzitanien

This property is all about location. Firstly the views - completely uninterrupted across to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Then the privacy, followed by close proximity to the local town and finally only an hour to an international airport and the Mediterranean coast. It doesn't get much better. So far into the south of France, a lot of the year is spent outside, hence the 10m swimming pool. But just as important is the opportunity to open all the doors from the living area straight on to the garden and large covered terrace. This provides shade in summer and welcome shelter in the cooler months. The heart of the house is the open-plan fitted kitchen (15m2) and living/dining area (41.75m2). There are two separate wings to the house, each with 2 bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Most of the bedrooms are doubles (18.62m2, 15m2, 20m2 and one slightly smaller at 10.36m2). Both the bathrooms are spacious (9.9m2 and 8.2m2). In addition there is a laundry room (6.27m2) and garage (30m2). The property has good attic space and plenty of flat land (unusual in this area). It might be suitable for development, perhaps with the construction of another building, but that would be subject to the usual planning approvals. The house is set back from the road and sheltered by trees which make it particularly private. The charming town of Quillan is about five minutes away. It has a number of great shops, restaurants and bars, and a twice-weekly market on a Wednesday and Saturday. There is plenty of scope for sport and recreation, although rugby is certainly the most popular sport with the locals. This is a great destination for those who enjoy adventurous pastimes, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, climbing and cycling. In winter grab your skis and head for Ax les Thermes which has fantastic slopes and is an easy hour's drive.You could even finish your day with a soak in the thermal baths! Quillan is served by two international airports, Carcassonne (1 hour) and Perpignan (1 hour 20 mins) with budget flights from a number of UK airports. There is a good coach link between both these airports and Quillan, at very modest cost. Carcassonne also has a TGV station if you prefer to travel by rail.
