In a charming village, about ten minutes from Carcassonne, the Hamilton agency invites you to discover this unique property. Composed of a renovated character house (approximately 139 sqm), a second adjoining house being renovated (garden and 2nd independent entrance), 2 old 18th century mills, an outbuilding completely renovated into a relaxation room (gym, spa, hammam), all on a garden of more than 7300 sqm (much of which is constructible and can be detached thanks to a 3rd independent entrance) with a panoramic view of the Pyrenees, swimming pool area (heated ), garages. My feeling: a rare property on the market due to its location (quiet, at the gates of Carcassonne) and the many possibilities offered (possibility of combining the 2 houses to form a large family home, possibility of living in a house and exploiting the rest in cottages...).

SITUATION : In the middle of the Aude countryside, in absolute peace and quiet, 10 km from Limoux, 1h15 from Toulouse and its international airport. DESCRIPTION : A 46-hectare estate in a single block, with buildings in a dominant position and 360° views! It is served by a private carriage road from the village belonging to the estate. This venue is ideally suited to the development of wine-tourism events. The BUILDINGS: All of the buildings are in need of renovation. There is a house of approx. 300 m2 that has been uninhabited for a number of years. An office has been converted to take care of the day-to-day running of the business. Numerous outbuildings, including a wine-making cellar. The CELLAR: All the cellar and growing equipment is complete. The cellar has a capacity of around 4450 hl (concrete, stainless steel and resin). LAND AND VINES: 46 hectares of vines in a single block, 44.5 of which are AOP Limoux and 1.5 IGP, 1.5 hours of parkland and built-up area. The average age of the vines is 16 to 17 years. Regularly uprooted and replanted, there are very few missing or old vines. They are all trellised. Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet franc, Malbec, Grenache, Pinot, Syrah, Sauvignon, Chardonnay. All grapes are machine-harvested. PRODUCTION: Yields average around 80 hl/ha because of Limoux's oceanic climate. This makes for a very interesting turnover and positive results. Today, most of the wines are sold in bulk. Only around 5,000 bottles are sold locally, a market that needs to be developed further. OUR OPINION: Due to its isolated location, this site could easily be used to develop events, weddings, seminars, gites, restaurants, etc. NB: The price does not include stocks and crop advances.

13th century castle, between Toulouse and Perpignan. COMPLETELY RESTORED! Location: Located in the south of France in the heart of the green Aude, 15 minutes from the medieval bastide of Mirepoix, 45 minutes from the city of Carcassonne and Toulouse, we are in the French countryside, where calm and serenity emanate from the place. Motorway access is 15 minutes away, TGV station and airports are 45 minutes away. History: The Seigneurie de Plaigne was built in the 13th century by the Cathar lord Guillaume de Plaigne. His last descendant, Anne de Plaigne, who married the Count of Pibrac in 1642, sold the castle to François Paul de Béon-Masse-Cazeaux, Grand Prior of the Order of Malta in Toulouse, who refounded it in 1688 as a commandery of the Order of Saint John. It was the largest and most recent commandery in Languedoc. It remained part of the Order of Malta's property until the Revolution. The castle : the elegance of this place is surprising. The park with its hundred year old trees gives off a softness and freshness. The castle has retained the spirit of the fortress, as evidenced by the great Hall of the Knights. However, it has been tastefully restored by two generations of owners. The 12 double rooms in the castle and the 4 double rooms in the independent cottage offer a capacity of 32 people in absolute comfort with a swimming pool. What we think: We see many exceptional properties. This castle is a timeless place where one feels a great sense of well-being whilst remaining connected to a regional metropolis.

LOCATION: Next to a charming, typical village, with no nuisances opposite, 15 km from Limoux and 30 km south from Carcassonne and its airport, 1h30 from Toulouse airport. Nestling in 21 hectares of greenery. It's the perfect place to relax, away from the stresses and strains of everyday life: the land surrounding the building guarantees absolute peace and quiet in a very unspoilt environment. A large landscaped garden has been laid out with around 1,000 plants! lawns, an orchard, a pond (1,000 m² with Koi carp) and a beautiful swimming pool with uninterrupted views over the valley. Meadows and woods dotted with footpaths complete the property. BUILDINGS: Facing south, all were renovated in 2016 with taste and quality. A 168 m2 main house with exposed stonework on 2 levels, a 80 m2 flat on 2 levels, a 100 m2 gîte for 4 people, a 75 m2 gîte for 4 people, a 67 m2 flat. Some of the flats are let on a year-round basis, generating a very stable income. In addition, there are 4 guest rooms of 25 to 31 m2 each, a communal dining room of 59 m2, an office area of 27 m2 and a studio of 40 m2 above. Photovoltaic panels are used to fully offset the electricity consumption of the tourist operation. The renovation of the gîtes and guest rooms was carried out with a view to reducing energy consumption: reinforced insulation, triple-glazed windows, card-operated switches, temperature-controlled heating/air conditioning with shut-off switches on doors and windows, individual electrical boxes, individual water heaters, photovoltaic panels, solar heating of the swimming pool, etc. EXTERIORS: A 9 x 4 m saltwater swimming pool with electric cover, 120 m2 of adjoining decking and 80 m2 pool house.
