Exquisite Estate with 90 hectares of land above Carcassonne

Nestled in the hills south of Carcassonne – just 15 minutes from the airport and the renowned walled Cité de Carcassonne – this breathtaking estate offers it all. Let's start with the views: to the north lies Carcassonne, the Cité, and beyond, the Pic de Nore and the Montagne Noire. To the south, the Corbières, the snow-capped Pyrénées stretching as far as the Canigou in Catalonia, with not a single building in sight.
 

But what good are views if there's a motorway running through your garden? Not here. The main buildings are ensconced within 90 hectares (about 220 acres) of forest and meadows, ensuring not only fresh air but also profound tranquility. This land has remained untouched for decades, fostering a biodiversity rarely seen elsewhere in Europe: birds, animals, and plants thrive in this pristine natural habitat.

Guest House and Wedding Venue:

The main buildings, originally an 18th-century farmhouse, have been transformed into an upscale complex featuring a refined Guest House with five en-suite guest bedrooms, a suite, owners' living quarters, a spacious professional kitchen, dining rooms, reception areas, a grand ballroom, a wine cellar, a laundry room, and much more. Offering over 800m² of living space, meticulously renovated and refurbished to the highest standards, with an additional 400m² of outbuildings and lofts awaiting redevelopment.
 

The 18-meter heated pool is situated on the south-facing terrace, sheltered from the wind and boasting stunning views over the estate, the Corbières hills, and the distant Pyrenees. For those seeking more activity, there's a full-size tennis court nestled among the trees, while others may prefer the hot tub overlooking the pool.

Our Recommendation:

Over the years, the estate has served various purposes – from a simple B&B to a gastronomic restaurant and a highly sought-after wedding venue – or a combination thereof. Prospective buyers have the flexibility to decide how they wish to operate the property, with all necessary amenities already in place. We suggest focusing on the wedding venue aspect, as its past success can be largely attributed to its prime location.
