Stylish 1930’s property in stunning Black Mountains location, with 4 bedrooms, pool and garden.
Charming character house with swimming pool, generous living space and magnificent Pyrenean views, set in a peaceful edge-of-village location within walking distance of amenities. Retaining many original Art Deco features, the property offers four bedrooms, spacious reception rooms, a large basement/garage and over 4000m² of land. An ideal family home or holiday retreat combining privacy, character and convenience in a beautiful natural setting.
The village itself offers a shop, bar/restaurant, post office, mairie, nursery and primary school, while secondary schools are in Cuxac-Cabardes and Carcassonne.
The attractions of Carcassonne, and its international airport and rail ilnks, are only 30 minutes away by car.
Tucked away in an idyllic setting on the edge of the village, this charming character home enjoys breathtaking panoramic views towards the Pyrenees, generous living space and over 4000m² of land with swimming pool. Combining period elegance with practical family accommodation, the property offers peace and privacy while remaining just a short walk from the village amenities.
Originally built in the 1930s as a summer residence for a family from Narbonne, the house retains many attractive Art Deco features, including original windows, elegant glazed sliding doors, wooden floors and a beautiful feature fireplace. The current owners have carefully maintained the property, which benefits from oil-fired central heating (regularly serviced), a conforming septic tank and tasteful decoration throughout.
The main entrance is reached by an external staircase leading to a spacious balcony terrace with electric canopy, the perfect spot for outdoor dining while taking in the superb mountain views. French windows open into the bright sitting room (24m²), a welcoming space centred around a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove. A handsome wooden staircase rises to the first floor.
On the right-hand side of the house are two ground-floor bedrooms, a twin room (8m²) and a double room (12m²), together with a shower room and WC. To the left, an original glazed sliding door opens into the attractive kitchen/dining room (19m²).
The first floor provides a private principal suite comprising a master bedroom (12m²) with lovely open views, a spacious shower room with WC (8m²), a dressing room (12m²) and a study (7m²), both with reduced head height.
On the lower ground floor is a fourth bedroom (14m²), an additional shower room with WC, a laundry room and a substantial 50m² basement/garage area with double doors opening to the front, offering excellent storage or workshop potential.
Outside, the property sits within 4130m² of grounds, with mature surroundings and plenty of space to enjoy the peaceful setting. The swimming pool, added by the current owners, is fitted with a security cover. Vehicle access is available from the front of the property, while a pedestrian gate at the rear leads directly onto a lane into the village.
The nearby reservoir provides lovely walking routes and is also the source of free irrigation water for the garden. The village is particularly well known for its lively annual fête held on the last weekend of July.
A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and characterful home in an exceptional natural setting, ideal either as a permanent residence or a peaceful holiday retreat.
