This is a totally original property - as one of our clients said it's like stepping into a Hollywood set. To say the building is dramatic is an understatement. Built around the 12th century this was a fortified castle. It's been owned by the same family for the last 3 generations and they are now getting to the age where they wish to retire from such a large building. Perched above a quaint village it dominates the surrounding countryside and looks out over the Canal du Midi. It has two towers and a more modern 18th century wing. If you want to live like a king in your own castle then look no further. Situated between the historic city of Carcassonne and the bustling city of Narbonne, this castle offers approximately six thousand four hundred and fifty square feet of land and 4300 sq. ft. of living space. The property comes equipped with sixteen rooms, including four living rooms and six bedrooms. The interior has maintained its traditional charm and includes fabulous fixtures and fittings, including a commanding Renaissance fireplace. At the top of the building are two very large rooms (approx. 100 square meters and 120 square meters) that had been used by the owner as as artists studios. The outside space is immaculate and traditional, with beautiful terraces surrounding the property. In short this is a beautiful stone property, in a very unique position, with great views over the countryside.
