Paradise Found! Amazingly Private Property on the Canal du Midi. Architect-designed house with pool on more than 2300m2.

Imagine sipping a glass of wine at the pool's edge watching the barges idle along the Canal du Midi on a typically sunny day. You'll be one of the lucky few to have this privilege. As a World Heritage site, there is no more construction allowed on the Canal, so this is really a rare opportunity.

Approached by a long private road, this large property sits along the Canal du Midi, just on the edge of a picturesque Minervois village. The design of the house takes absolute advantage of the fabulous landscape with reception rooms embracing the views over the Canal and to the Pyrenees.

Cathedral ceilings, sunken lounge and separate dining area, giving on to a covered terrace overlooking the grounds all make a staggering impression. There is no denying that you are in the beautiful Mediterranean south of France, with its romantic and historic Canal du Midi as the backdrop.

Everything about the property is geared to outdoor living. Overlooking the grounds is a large covered terrace with built-in barbecue. The house is in extremely good condition, having been built to exacting standards 23 years ago. The design is just as stylish today as it was when it was built. In addition to its generous living and dining room, and large eat-in kitchen, it has 4 large bedrooms, which will accommodate all the guests that are sure to visit. One of the bedrooms would be well suited to to provide self-contained accommodation. The mezzanine and studio living areas provide ample space to ensure that you and your guests can get away from the group for some quiet time.

Planting near the Canal offers filtered views of passing boats, just enough for you to enjoy the view without interfering with your privacy. There is only one other house nearby, approximately 200m away, which in no way impinges on the seclusion of the property. The houses are built at the extremities of each plot so that only orchards share a boundary, and these are separated by large cypress trees.

Location in France

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.
