casa for Køb i Carcasona, Occitania

It's all about the location! This stunning home combines tranquility with uninterrupted rural views and yet is very near an international airport, other transport links, shops, amenities and restaurants. Great for an excursion to the Mediterranean coast, a trip into Spain or skiing in the Pyrenees. Situated close to the impressive town of Carcassonne, the property will take a lot of beating at this price. The climate in this part of Southern France is almost Mediterranean, with mild winters and warm, dry and sunny summers. The summer kitchen, terraces, other outdoor spaces and pool are all designed to take advantage of the glorious weather. The house is in first class condition throughout and has been lovingly renovated to a high standard whilst retaining many of its historic features, including the wooden beams and exposed stone walls. It has oil central heating, double glazing and a recently installed septic tank. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the main house, as well as the detached one bedroomed cottage, it doesn't take much imagination to envisage the many ways in which this property might be used. Perhaps a permanent family home, a luxurious holiday retreat or even a way of generating some income from letting the cottage and perhaps running a B&B business. The property stands in grounds of 18154m2 (about 41/2 acres). There are no close neighbours and 360º panoramic views.
