About: Horse

This interesting, nicely situated property could become, after complete renovation, one of the nicest properties around Carcassonne. The large buildings would be ideal for a first class B&B and/or gite business with horse riding facilities. This property will be a jewel, in a beautiful romantic country setting.

Ground floor - 200m:
Reception terrace leading to large entrance hall, 32m2 actually used as billiard room. 2 lounges, 25 & 33m2 next to each other connected by French doors, both south and terrace facing. Dining room 32m2 and the old original kitchen 26m2. Office 11m2 and several smaller rooms. Large hall with impressive staircase. Separate entrance for servants with special wooden staircase leading to the upper floors. Many original features like floor tiles, wood panels, wood floors, fire places and kitchen stove.

2nd floor: 2 further bedrooms with a shower room and several smaller rooms. Original workshop and a south facing terrace.

Large arched basement under most part of the house.

Former caretakers home - 200m2 on 3 floors, each 66m2:

Grounds
The 16 hectares of grounds are flat and consist of 3 hectares of park, over 9 hectares of woodland and about 3.5 hectares of meadows. Beautiful pond with fresh water from a stream. Old trees and several walking tracks in the wood, one of them leading to a belvedere overlooking a small river in a rocky environment. All quite romantic.

General condition:
The manor house and the farmhouse are in need of a full refurbishment.
But, once the renovation has been completed, it will - again be one of the most attractive properties in the region.

Comment:
This unique property has been in the same family for several generations and is actually used as a grand family home. Both the buildings and the gorgeous environment are ideal for creating a high standard, luxury B&B and gite business for a substantial income.
