Property For Sale, Carcassonne, Languedoc Roussillon
Vineyard Chateau
Guide Price: 3,500,000 euros
Imagine an 11th Century Chateau complete with all modern conveniences surrounded by vineyards... the views, the wines, the solitude, the history.
The Vineyard Chateau lies in the Languedoc wine region of Southern France, south of the historic Medieval town of Carcassonne, on a hilltop in the foothills of the Pyrennes.
Purchased in 1996 and extensively renovated and expanded (using stone from the original quarry)over a 5 year period by the present owners, the Vineyard Chateau is now a modern, 7,000 sq ft. family home and secluded retreat from the bustle of the hectic world.
Surrounded by vineyards and in the centre of the region best known for the sparkling, champagne-like wine, Blanquette de Limoux, the property sits atop a hill overlooking a large valley. Close by is the village of Limoux, and only 25km to the north lies the city of Carcassonne, with the largest walled medieval fortress in Europe.
Throughout the interior, modern furnishings abound, from the finest fabrics to handmade solid oak beds, wardrobes, tables and furniture. The Great Room has a huge fireplace, leather sofas and comfortable seating areas, all surrounded by the warm natural stone of the original structure. The house consists of six bedrooms, two ensuite bathrooms, a large bathroom with tub and shower, a massive modern kitchen with centre island, dining room with a custom made table that seats 12 comfortably, a family room with fireplace and entertainment system with satellite dishes, garage with electric door opener, large office and library with wet bar on the top floor, alarm system, secure wine cellar with climate control, workshop and wood storage.
The grounds have a heated infinity pool, a walled vegetable garden, terraced landscaping, automatic lawn sprinkling system, garden lights, BBQ near the pool, large parking area and paved driveway.
The perfect property for those of you looking for a business venture (the present owners let the property on an exclusive hire basis year-round) or simply for a luxurious family home.
