AUDE: NEAR CARCASSONNE A former 17th century wine estate, this property of almost 1 hectare is perfect for a project of B&B, gîtes, wedding hall or events. It is situated in the highly touristic area of the Cité de Carcassonne, the Cathar Châteaux and the Wine Route, with over 1,400 m² (15,000 sqft) of potential living space. Surrounded by vineyards and orchards, with no direct neighbors or overlooked views, you enter the property of approx. 8,000 m2 (2 acres) fenced in. A 3-level Maison de Maître sits enthroned on the left, together with its stone outbuilding. A beautiful staircase leads to the living room with its high ceilings, and 4 spacious renovated suites with bathrooms. There's also a large garage, a second living room and several unused rooms. Some heating and windows work would be required for winter use. To the right is a large former wine cellar with a floor area of 600 m2 (6,500 sqft), featuring a beautiful wooden framework and old concrete tanks. It's an unoccupied building just waiting for your creativity. The reception area at the rear, with its large park, fenced swimming pool and pool-house, and sheltered barbecue/plancha area, benefits from a separate entrance. The large air-conditioned wedding hall with professional kitchen can accommodate 150 people, and 250 on the terrace. A second room of the same size upstairs completes it, and can be used as a dormitory if required. There are two suites with en-suite shower rooms upstairs. This is a beautiful property on a human scale, in the middle of nature, with enormous professional potential in terms of tourist accommodation and events.
