Enchanting Stone House with Pool, Garden, and Garage in the Picturesque South of France

Discover the charm of this breathtaking 3-story stone property, nestled in the coveted village of Moussoulens in the idyllic Aude region, just moments from Montolieu—the famed “book village.” With four luminous bedrooms, a sun-soaked garden, a sparkling newly installed inground saltwater pool (3 x 7 metres, 1.5 m deep.), and a spacious garage, this beautifully maintained home invites you to savour the dream of southern French living.

Step into a world of timeless charm and southern French elegance. This inviting character property greets you with its sturdy stone façade, rustic wooden beams, and the kind of warmth only a true home can offer. As you enter, the ground floor welcomes you with a sun-drenched bedroom/living area, complemented by cozy wood-burning stoves that beckon you to relax with a glass of wine. A conveniently placed bathroom, WC, laundry room, and direct access to the garage and an expansive workshop enhance the practicality of this floor. This area could be completely independent on the ground floor if someone were interested in having a separate living space for guests.

The first floor reveals a captivating open living space, where lofty ceilings and charming wooden beams set a tone of rustic sophistication. The bright and spacious kitchen, complete with double glazing for year-round comfort, flows seamlessly onto a sun-dappled south-facing terrace—a perfect spot for al fresco dining or simply basking in the warmth of the Mediterranean sun. Adjacent to this space is a delightful dining area and a mezzanine retreat, ideal for unwinding with a good book. The first of four airy bedrooms and an additional bathroom+WC ensure comfort and privacy on this level.

Ascend to the top floor, where two more enchanting bedrooms (one currently an office) await, connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. These tranquil rooms exude serenity, with pristine finishes and ample natural light streaming through. Each space in this home has been thoughtfully designed to blend historic character with modern convenience.

Outside, the private front garden steals the show with a sun-drenched saltwater swimming pool—an oasis on warm summer days. Whether you’re taking a refreshing swim, enjoying a glass of rosé, or hosting a garden party, the outdoor space is as inviting as the interior. The courtyard at the rear provides a hidden gem for gardening, sunbathing, or simply enjoying a moment of peace in the heart of the village.

Perfectly suited for a permanent residence or a holiday home, this property offers all the allure of the French countryside with every modern comfort. Located in the charming village of Moussoulens, you’ll find a bakery just steps from your door, a friendly restaurant with a mini grocery store at the back, a cozy library, and even a pizza truck on Fridays and a small weekly market. Meanwhile, Montolieu, a cultural hub brimming with bookstores, gourmet restaurants, and artisan shops, is just an 8-minute drive away. Last but not least, -this property is just 15 minutes from the airport, train station and Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its medieval city and the Canal du Midi.
