House in Saint-Lizier , Ariège , Midi Pyrenees

The location is ideal. In the middle of the countryside with a superb, unbeatable view of the Pyrenees, it is nevertheless less than 5 minutes from a small town that offers all the services and amenities (hospital, schools, colleges, high schools, community activities, shops, etc.). It is therefore aimed at a wide range of people: families looking for a balance between the calm of home life and the need for school and community activities; lovers of the countryside who want a very comfortable house with the soul of the past; and contemplative people or even artists looking for a solid, reassuring cocoon.

The 3550 m² of land and the two outbuildings of 70 m² and 15 m² will be a major asset for everyone, whether for the DIY enthusiast or gardener, the budding or experienced artist, or even for those who are planning further ahead (the property still has potential for improvement or modification and it is very easy to imagine one's own projects).

In terms of layout, the house is developed on two levels.
On the ground floor, there is a beautiful living room with large openings to the outside, a small kitchen with its storeroom, a technical room and the master suite (a large bedroom with direct access to the outside, a shower room and separate toilet).
The first floor consists of two other bedrooms with a mezzanine in each, both overlooking the large balcony that runs along the whole house, a space now used for watching television but which could easily be transformed into an office, and a shower room with toilet.
The whole is heated with a central heating system (gas boiler), part of the ground floor has underfloor heating and a good wood-burning stove completes the system. A real plus: the house is equipped with a central vacuum cleaner.

The large outbuilding houses a garage, a workshop and the laundry room. The 70 m² outbuilding is an obvious asset as it provides a storage solution for all seasons. It also houses solar panels under contract with Enedis.
The second outbuilding was a sheepfold which has recently been modified. It is small but offers real potential for any activity.

The circulation towards the large outbuilding and the car park can be done by a pleasant covered passageway which accentuates the impression of inside/outside the property while protecting the inhabitants from the vagaries of the climate.

Finally, the land is large, beautiful, well maintained and can be used for all purposes. It is flat on the level of the house and slopes gently down to an orchard planted with various species (apple trees, fig trees, etc.). There is also a small wetland area which is a delight for birds, frogs and hedgehogs and therefore for nature lovers.

In short, this is a property that offers an ideal living environment with a solid, well thought-out and well-designed house, made of durable materials from which a strong sense of serenity emanates.
Do not hesitate to contact me to visit it, it is worth the trip.
