Beautiful 6 double bedroom “ Maison de Maître ” (240 m²) set in magnificent grounds on the edge of the attractive medieval market town of Limoux, home to the famous Blanquette sparkling wine.

This 1920's stone-built house was completed renovated to a high standard in 2006, with additions including Languedoc stone bathrooms and kitchen. Re-wiring, loft insulation, painting, tiling, boiler and carpets were all included in the renovation.

Many original features exist, such as marble fireplaces in four of the bedrooms, original radiators, original windows and wood panelling and flooring.

Large lawned garden of 6,000 m² with a variety of fruit trees (kiwi, apple, plum, cherry, fig, hazelnut, peach) and its own automatic watering system, drawing water from the house's well. Tall hedge surrounding the garden offers total privacy.

Open vistas on two sides with a spectacular view up to the medieval church of Notre Dame de Marceille.

A very rare property offering the perfect combination of calm and tranquility, just ten minutes walk from the town centre.

20 km south of Carcassonne, served by an ever-expanding network of international flights, Limoux is a charming small town in the heart of the Languedoc region. It is home to one of Europe's most popular Carnivals, a two-month-long festival of food, music and culture. The beautifully clean Aude River dissects the town.

In the middle of France's Cathar Country, just a short drive from the medieval walled city of Carcassonne, you cannot help but fall in love with the surrounding countryside with its vineyards and symmetrical rows of trees lining the roads.

Unspoilt by tourism, the charming central square is enclosed by cafes, patisseries, and a variety of small boutique shops. Limoux is the perfect family town, offering a safe yet lively environment and several excellent schools. Thanks to an especially mild climate, outdoor activities such as swimming, tennis , canoeing, kayaking, fishing and cycling are available to residents and visitors alike. With easy access to the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts as well as the Pyrenees, Limoux is still a relatively undiscovered town, yet to discover its full potential.
