Why this property will seduce you

  • Peaceful Urban View: Landscaped garden resembling a private park.
  • Historic Architecture: 18th-century mansion, preserved details.
  • Modern Comfort: Renovation with central heating and hot water.
In a privileged setting within the historic heart of Carcassonne’s bastide, this remarkable 18th-century property stands as a discreet witness to the passing centuries.
Owned by the same family for generations, this exceptional home extends over 700 sqm on 1280m2 of land, forming a harmonious private mansion flanked by two adjoining wings, recently converted into guest accommodation.
The main residence unfolds over three levels. Its architecture reveals traces of three major historical periods: vestiges of the medieval structure still perceptible today, a significant remodelling during the Directoire era visible in its elegant pediment, gallery, and wrought-iron railings and later refinements dating from the late 19th century.
The property has preserved the entirety of its original features. On the ground floor, each room reveals unique flooring alongside magnificent period marquetry parquet floors, lending the interiors both refinement and richly detailed ornamentation. Upstairs, antique terracotta tiles and herringbone parquet continue the timeless elegance of the residence.
A reception courtyard, traditional stone paving, oeil-de-boeuf windows, garages, ceremonial steps and galleries compose a noble yet welcoming setting, where every detail reflects the history and exceptional character of the house.
Behind its historic facade and preserved interiors, the property has been renovated with modern comfort in mind. It features a new gas central heating system with large radiators in every room, as well as a modern hot water system. The garden is equipped with automatic irrigation. The marble fireplaces, still functional in most roomsa particularly rare featurecast a warm glow in winter as the flames reflect off the polished parquet floors, evoking the elegance of centuries past.
Although located in the heart of the city, the property boasts a landscaped garden reminiscent of a private park, with its centuries-old trees and winding paths creating a peaceful, almost pastoral atmosphere. A rare sense of calm and privacy just steps from the urban bustle.
The garden also houses an imposing orangery dating from the early 19th century. Currently unused, it could host magnificent summer receptions or become a winter garden for a botany enthusiast. At its center, almost secretly, lies a Japanese-inspired swimming pool, surrounded by greenery and equipped with swimming jets.
