LOCATION : Very quiet, with no nuisance, located in the Limoux valley, between Carcassonne and Toulouse. Motorway 15 minutes away, TGV train station 25 minutes away and Toulouse international airport 1h15 away. DESCRIPTION : Offering breathtaking views, this 73-hectare estate in one piece, including 26.5 hectares of vines, has at its heart a tastefully renovated 18th-century bastide, divided into three independent dwellings, and is complemented by a detached caretaker's cottage. It offers an elegant and spacious living environment, with large, bright rooms, a swimming pool and landscaped gardens of around 4,000m2 facing south. BUILDINGS : They offer stunning views over the valley as far as the eye can see! The main bastide has a total surface area of almost 440 m² and is divided into three separate dwellings: - The main house offers more than 260m² with 4 bedrooms, 2 of which have en suite shower rooms, a large reception room, a small lounge, a kitchen, a bathroom, a laundry room and a wine cellar in the basement. - Following on from the main house, a second, smaller house offers around 100m² with one bedroom, a shower room and a large lounge/kitchen. - The building ends with a 60 m² (646 sq ft) gîte with the same facilities. There is also a 105 m² (1,076 sq ft) guest house with 3 bedrooms and a garden that can accommodate an employee or a couple of caretakers. The winery has a capacity of 2,900 hl, a barrel cellar and large storage and bottling areas. All cellar and cultivation equipment is included in the sale. LAND and VINES: The estate covers 73 hectares in a single block, including 26.5 hectares of certified organic AOP Limoux and IGP, which benefit from special attention due to the estate's altitude (between 250 and 300 metres) and the significant variations in temperature between day and night. The rest of the land is well-oriented bare soil. The varied terroir, with clay-limestone soils and rounded pebbles, provides an exceptional setting for viticulture. PRODUCTION: The estate offers a range of wines in all three colours. Sales are made to export markets and to a network of wine merchants in Paris. The entire production is sold in bottles, including the brand name and customer database. It is important to note that the company makes substantial profits. NOTE: The price does not include stock and crop advances. WHAT WE THINK: A high quality wine estate, in a site with tremendous charm, with modern facilities and an ideal terroir, offering plenty of scope for development, whether in terms of extending the vineyard or improving the infrastructure. Its location, with breathtaking views of the Pyrenees and peaceful surroundings, makes it both intimate and conducive to the production of excellent wines in an exceptional residential setting.
