Stone Country House near Carcassonne

A characterful stone country house in a peaceful Minervois hamlet, just 5 km from Trèbes and 12 km from Carcassonne, surrounded by vineyards and the open countryside of southern France.

Detached on all four sides, the property offers approximately 120 sqm of living space arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, kitchen and pantry, dining room, comfortable living room and a bathroom with WC. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a shower room with WC.

Exposed stone walls, timber beams and wood-burning stoves give the interior the warm, informal character of a traditional French country home.

Outside, the approximately 1,100 sqm plot provides plenty of space to enjoy the setting, with a covered terrace, a larger terrace with pergola, carport and useful storage building.

The position is particularly appealing: no direct overlooking, open views across the vineyards and, on clear days, as far as the Pyrenees. The nearest neighbour is approximately 50 metres away, offering a good degree of privacy and tranquillity without the property feeling remote.

The house is habitable as it stands, although renovation and updating should be allowed for. It has three wood-burning stoves, reversible air conditioning, electric radiators, eight photovoltaic panels for self-consumption and fibre internet.

A relaxed and characterful country property for buyers looking for peace, privacy and open views, while remaining within easy reach of shops, the Canal du Midi and the historic city of Carcassonne.
