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.
