5 minutes from Carcassonne

This is a dream of a house in a wonderful location. It's only 5 minutes from Carcassonne but you feel as if you're in the country. It's part of a former wine domaine and is set in a little 'hamlet', bordered by vines. The house is sort of semi-detached. Part of it is actually another house. Not unusual on a domain in this part of France.

The house is on two levels and has about 360 m2 of living space. There are:
8 bedrooms, 6 shower rooms and a bathroom,
an open living/dining room with a fireplace,
a sitting room,
an office,
a laundry room that's so charming you'd actually want to iron,
a one bedroom studio apartment,
an old stable with 9 horse stalls
the original wine cave with 5 cuves
2 terraces
a summer kitchen

Those are just the details, they really don't paint the picture. The house was renovated about 14 years ago and it's charming. There are exposed timbers that add interest and charm to many of the rooms. The kitchen has 3 windows. I love windows in a kitchen.

Until last year the house was an operating B&B and could be put back into operation in the blink of an eye. The studio apartment has been used as a gite. It would be easy to make another studio gite in the current laundry room. If you wanted to develop the house even more the stables and cave are about 250 m2

If you're looking for a vacation home with income potential this is perfect. People are always looking for large charming houses to rent for a holiday. The demand is far stronger than the supply.

If you're planning to move permanently to France and want an income producing property you can do chambres d'hote and have a gite as well. Or you could rent the main part of the house and use the gite for yourself. There are so many options.

The location is terrific, 5 km from Carcassonne and the auto route, less than 10 minutes from the golf course, less than 15 from the airport.
