Peter Mathews Independent Agent, says :
This represents wonderful value for money. 3 double bedrooms, bath/shower room, living room, fitted kitchen, roof terrace with fabulous views of the former monastery and river, and a great 20m2 garage. Superb holiday home or permanent home and it is priced to sell fast.
View Peter's Property PortfolioThis is a great example of a Hot Property - at a price where the market is still very active. The house will need some freshening up, but there is no major works to do. Situated in the heart of the village of Bouriege, with views of green hills and the river Aude, this is a great property, with 90m2 living space and a 20m2 roof terrace. You will not find better value. Bouriege is situated just a short drive from Limoux and a short 30 mins from Carcassonne and its airport served by low-cost carrier Ryanair. The Pyrenees and ski resorts can be reached in about an hour, with the beaches of the Mediterranean some 60 mins away. Great place for relaxing, walking, cycling, right in the heart of Cathar Country.

The Aude lies in the Languedoc-Roussillon on the edge of the Pyrenees, and as usual within France, such a diverse country, there are a wide variety of landscapes. Vast areas are devoted to wheat fields and vineyards, and mountains and vast forests are scattered throughout the area. The department also has around 50km of Mediterranean coastline, which is always appealing!
The city of Carcassonne is the Aude's most proud possession. The medieval town, which was the inspiration for 'The Sleeping Beauty', boasts an incredible 52 towers and 2 enormous ramparts. A stroll around the city's old town reveals many memorable views, and even form the autoroute, when lit up at night, it looks sensational. The historical city of Narbonne, not far from Carcassone, is another favourite.
The Aude has a large number of castles, reminiscent of its Cathar history. The most impressive citadel is Peyrepertuse, which has 2.5km of ramparts.
The Midi Canal, which flows through the department, is an incredible feat of construction. It took 12,000 men working for 14 years to complete it in the 17th century, and it runs from Toulouse to Thau, passing through Carcassonne. The canal is an incredible 240km in length nowadays, it is used most by the tourist industry and is a great way to explore the region whilst admiring the landscape at a leisurely pace.
The area is proud of its customs and local cuisine, including the world famous cassoulet. Castelnaudary is considered the world capital of this particular dish. There are very strict rules over what constitutes a cassoulet - most importantly, all the ingredients must come from the Aude!
Carcassonne has its own international airport with regular flights to the UK and other European destinations, as well as a TGV train station, so travelling to the Aude is easy.
The french property prices in the Aude tend to be slightly cheaper than the average within the Languedoc Roussillon, but the major cities naturally attract higher property values, particularly Carcassonne.
