Barn for Renovation plus 2 Renovated Gites

Superb barn to restore in the Ariege with 2 ready to move in to appartments. Wonderful hamlet location near FABAS. 200m² land with the possibility to buy more. Toulouse airport 1hour. Live in appartments whilst you do up the barn!

Rare opportunity to purchase 2 properties one finished, one to finish in idyllic setting.

The unfinished one is the barn - essentially a blank canvas where the potential is enormous. Stone built it offers over 300m² habitable space once converted and the huge advantage is that it has not been subject to any renovation thus far so no undoing someone else’s bad work before you even start on your own!

The apartments (adjacent to barn) are the finished item and sold fully equipped and furnished so ready to either move in to while you do up the barn or rent out as gites. They consist of a studio ground floor flat with terrace and a 1st floor 1 bed roomed flat with balcony. Both have been very tastefully renovated and very much in keeping with the age of the original building.

A new septic tank has been installed which currently services both apartments AND will be more than sufficient to provide for the needs of the barn as well once renovated.

As far as land is concerned there are 2000m² gardens bursting with fruit trees and an adjacent footpath leads down to a stream which in turn leads on to miles and miles of forest and woodland.

The property is located in a hamlet near the village of Fabas in the Ariège. The area is known as the “Petites Pyrénées” and consequently walkers, cyclists, nature lovers will not be disappointed! There is a restaurant within walking distance of the house and the nearest “épicerie” is only a 5 minute drive.

Toulouse airport is 1hr away, Pau 1hr 40mins, Carcassonne 1hr 50mins

Location in France

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.
