In the Aude area, near to the Canal du Midi, an Italian style 18th century mansion with outbuildings in 8 hectares of grounds. A drive that runs past the outbuildings adjacent to the main building leads up to the mansion. All the buildings are set out in a continual straight line, though the mansion is one storey higher than its outbuildings. It was built in 1710 under the supervision of an Italian architect and has floor-space of approximately 1,200 m². It has three storeys and its main façade is split into nine bays. The two façades, facing east and west, boast remarkably simple lines, punctuated by the perfect symmetry of the openings, which are mostly rectangular and topped with fanlight windows on the lower two levels, surrounded by stone frames and equipped with louvred shutters. The hipped roof made of half-round terracotta tiles is surrounded by a cornice which is echoed in two moulded belt courses marking each level. The outbuildings, which are all rectangular and topped with gabled roofs or a half-hipped roof, stand adjacent to the mansion, mostly on its left-hand side. They are made up of three apartments, a hangar and a barn. Lastly, the 8-hectare grounds stretch out behind the mansion up to the Canal du Midi and can be reached through a wicket gate. There are gravelled patios on either side of the buildings and there is also a swimming pool in front and slightly to the side of the mansion.

At the heart of this pre-Napoleonic ensemble of buildings lies an impressive and substantial main home with an elegant slim turreted roofline and grand tall, original windows giving the impression of being much bigger than it actually is. The high ceilings of the entrance hall are mirrored on both the ground and the first floors. One wing of the ground floor enjoys an impressive dining room with an open fireplace and original stone detailing and a huge kitchen occupying the full end of the building with two large marble islands and modern appliances. The kitchen is a perfect marriage of modern eclectic and traditional pieces such as the Italian chandeliers that characterise so much of this property. On the other side are an elegant reception room, salon and library. Upstairs the 5 bedrooms are spacious with views over either the Black mountains to one side or the mature Mediterranean garden to the other. The master bedroom is vast, spanning the width of the house with two separate bathrooms and a large dressing room adjoining it. All the rooms are well proportioned and eye-catching. The house has 4 separate working original fireplaces but there is also central heating throughout provided by an efficient air-pump system but utilising handsome original cast-iron radiators in keeping with the property. The floors are either the original tiles or beautiful original herringbone parquet. In front of the main house, flanking it either side are two solid stone garrison-like buildings which in previous times have been used as workman's cottages when this place was a farm or vineyard. One currently is used to host magical dinner parties, the other needs developing. On the grounds are the following properties - Two large, attractive 3 bedroom stone houses which could serve as a friends and family place or gites. Possible gite business (subject to necessary permissions) There is also an artist’s studio, further storage units, a large greenhouse and a tiny chapel! The grounds have century old trees, including Lebanese cyprus trees (popular with the Knights Templar), a manicured lawn with a curve that hints at the old roman wall on which it is terraced and a koi carp pond. The property also has a swimming pool, some wild land and the whole 3.6 hectares of land are surrounded by trees making it completely invisible to even the odd car passing in the distance on what is a quiet, country road to the local village. If you are passionate about unique properties, wanting a family home that is big enough for friends and to entertain, or wanting a property that could bring in an income - this place is a must-see.
