Set in a wild and unspoilt valley of the Aude Pyrenean foothills, between Limoux and Carcassonne, this exceptional eco-self-sufficient estate enjoys a truly rare setting at around 300 metres altitude. Accessed via a well-maintained forest track, the property offers total peace, privacy and immersion in nature. It is located just minutes from a village, 20 minutes from Limoux, 25 minutes from Carcassonne and its airport, 1h15 from the Mediterranean coast and 1h20 from Toulouse airport.
Dating back to 1837, the entire property has been fully renovated using high-quality materials, combining contemporary comfort with environmental awareness. The estate is largely self-sufficient, with renewable energy, wood-fired heating, developed permaculture, natural springs, an artesian well and substantial water storage capacity.
Buildings & accommodation
Main house – approx. 161 m2
Renovated in a refined contemporary style, the main house benefits from excellent insulation (aluminium/wood joinery), underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators powered by a wood-fired boiler.
Ground floor: Large open-plan living/dining room with impressive ceiling height, kitchen, pantry, boiler room, storage room and WC
First floor: Mezzanine leading to the main bedroom, bathroom and WC
Bright, airy spaces with views over the surrounding nature.
Three independent gîtes
All renovated to the same high standard as the main house and sold fully furnished:
Gîte 1: Approx. 63 m2
Gîte 2: Approx. 48 m2
Gîte 3: Approx. 44 m2
They generate attractive seasonal rental income (approx. €920/week for the largest and €650/week for the two smaller units in summer).
Workshop / retreat building
Main hall: Approx. 100 m2
Shower & WC facilities: Approx. 24 m2
Kitchen and technical room
Ideal for wellness retreats, workshops, conferences or artistic residencies.
Wellness area
A sauna, shower room and a seperate toilet.
Glamping accomodation
Two log cabins, a yurt, a zome and a tree house.
Large agricultural barn
Barn of approx. 650 m2, located 300 metres from the main house
Well suited to agricultural activities such as beekeeping or livestock (goats, sheep, horses or donkeys).
Additional features
Concrete above-ground swimming pool 12 m x 3 m with wooden deck
Several outbuildings
Shaded parking for 6 vehicles
15 photovoltaic panels and solar hot water systems
Approx. 3 km of fencing renewed in 2023
Land
The estate extends over approximately 180 hectares in one single block, entirely free of tenancy:
Approx. 40 ha of woodland (potentially exploitable)
Approx. 11 ha of meadows
Remaining land in natural heathland
Surrounding mountains rise to around 600 metres.
The land includes around 40 fruit trees, 70 olive trees, established permaculture areas and outstanding biodiversity, with frequent sightings of eagles, deer and diverse flora and fauna.
A rare opportunity, ideal for an eco-retreat, gîte business, agricultural project or an off-grid lifestyle immersed in preserved nature.
