Yvonne Russell Independent Agent, says :
This recently modernised single storey riverside villa currently has 2 bedrooms but has the potential for more. The property is set in a pretty garden of over 1700m2 which includes a separate pool garden. It is on the edge of a small village in open countryside but less than 5 minutes from all amenities. It would make a lovely home or holiday accommodation.

This single storey villa is set in a lovely enclosed garden of lawns and fruit and flowering trees and bushes. It has a separate pool garden with a 5 x 10 meter pool, a pool house, a decking area and numerous shady trees for quiet contemplation with a book and a glass of something. The raised terrace with brick BBQ, at the side of the villa, is accessed through french windows from the lounge/dining room and one of the double bedrooms. It is ideal for dining at all times of the day. The views of the Pyrenees from the terrace and other parts of the property are amazing.
The villa consists of:-
A central hallway with doors leading to a kitchen, a lounge/dining room, a separate WC, a shower room with WC, 2 double bedrooms and a door at the end leading into a large attached garage with storeroom/utility room - ideal for inclusion into the living space. The villa has gas central heating. Outside there is a detached brick garage with a small hangar. It is within walking distance of all amenities and 5 minutes from the ancient city of St Lizier. It is approximately 1hr 15 mins from Toulouse and Carcassonne and 45 min from skiing.

Ariege was once an independent country with a proud identity. It is located on France's southern border next to Spain and Andorra and contains vast areas of countryside unspoilt and largely unpopulated. The department is ideal for people wanting to get away from it all.
The capital of Ariege is Foix, a small town but with a lot of charm. Two rivers and one mighty rock surround the town giving it a very picturesque natural setting, and it has survived a number of attacks keeping the town's castle very active over the centuries.
The ancient capital of the area is St-Lizier, with its fascinating cathedral. The resort of Ax-les-Thermes has 75km of runs (green, blue, red and black) also a purpose built snow park for snowboarders. The resort is at 1400m, with slopes rising to 2300m. There are lots of restaurants in Ax-les-Thermes, the small town linked by a new cable car to the ski resort. There is excellent skiing, friendly people and the ski properties are half the price of the Alps! The resort is 1.25 hours drive from Toulouse airport, and is on the main rail link to Toulouse,or Paris or Barcelona .
ARiege has a vast number of huge prehistoric caves, and the D119 road bends right into the mouth of the colossal Grotte du Mas d'Azil.
There are regular flights from the UK servicing Toulouse, Carcassonne and Perpignan. Another option is to take either a P&O service from Portsmouth to Bilbao or a Brittany Ferries service from Plymouth to Santander and then travel up from Spain . Alternatively, the fast and comfortable TGV service will take you all the way to Toulouse.
The area is not hugely populated, but the local economy continues to improve and property prices are starting to rise. However, when compared to other parts of southern France they represent excellent value for money.
