| | | Laurac is a fortified Cathar village niched in the folds of the hills just south of Castelnaudary, in the Languedoc. The estate for sale is in the hills a few kilometres from the village, perched on a promontory and surveying the woods and pastures which make up the 16 hectares of land.
The farmhouse has been totally refurbished and is configured to house three independent dwellings: the main house (5-bedroom gite) the converted barn (owner's 2-bedroom residence) and converted stables (a second 2-bedroom gite).
What's for sale:
- a 16 hectare estate with old converted farmhouse
- about 340m² of living space divided into three dwellings
- the main house is on three storeys: ground floor large kitchen, spacious dining area, living room with wood-burning stove and french windows, bathroom and toilet. First floor has 4 bedrooms (one with en-suite bathroom) and a bathroom/WC, the second floor houses a huge attic bedroom.
- the converted barn (where the present owners live) adjoins the main house. On two floors, it boasts a very large living/kitchen area on the ground floor and two bedrooms, a bathroom and offic space on the first floor.
- the converted stables house the third dwelling: a simple two-bedroomed gite (on the ground floor) with a mezzanine for storage/child's room.
- a 6x12metre pool with ingenious solar-heating system and chlorine-free UV filter.
- numerous outhouses (of which the garage/barn could be converted into living space) and animal shelters (donkeys, horses, chickens etc are all raised on the farm at present).
- 16 hectares of deciduous woods and pasture.
This estate can be considered as either an investment opportunity for someone keen to exploit the full potential of the letting capacity, or as a home for a large family who love nature and animals.
The present owners run a successful business letting the main house and the converted stables to repeat customers from all over the world. High-season rents for the two gites come to over 2300 euros per week. Proximity to Toulouse (45 minutes) and Carcassonne (30 minutes) mean that a seminar market could be tapped in the off-season, given the intimate and secluded nature of the location. | | | | |
