AB Real Estate
This superb property is located on the outskirts of a hamlet in Languedoc Roussillon Carcassonne area, 5mn from a village with all basic amenities, 20mn from an important town and about 1h15 from the sea and an international airport. The house has been restored in 1977 with an architect, preserving its authentic outside, while privileging inside a combination of rustic and modern with space, brightness and comforts. A private lane through beautiful wood leads to the property. The site is wonderful, in total peacefulness, 700m/2300’ high, with a breathtaking panoramic view over the woodland with beautiful trees and neighbouring mountains, while not far from all amenities. One believes to be in another world, where nature is still in order!!
