Vacation home in the Languedoc with pool & garden

Introduction

Even before you reach this property, you'll see a lot of the spectacular surrounding countryside. Whether it's the short drive from Carcassonne airport, or the breathtaking trip from the A9 auto route through the vineyards and valleys, this is a truly exceptional part of the famous Languedoc region.

The property itself sits in a peaceful, tree-lined boulevard on the outskirts of the very traditional little village of Montlaur.

Just a couple of minutes walk into the village where you will find: café/bar, butcher, baker, general store, newsagent, post office, children's park and two wine caves.

The large, spacious house has been fully redecorated and furnished with a mix of modern and traditional furnishings.

A charming terrace allows al-fresco dining at all hours and there is of course the large fenced garden that contains the new private swimming pool 8 x 4 x 1.5m. Paved and grassed areas for sunbathing. Large orchard with many different mature fruit trees.

There is so much to do discover in the area:

Mediterranean beaches 45 mins, Carcassonne 20 mins, swimming lakes 30 mins, ski-stations and the Spanish border 1 hour.
This is an ideal mix of village and rural living.
All amenities close at hand, yet a quiet and tranquil base from which to explore everything that the region has to offer.

Superb for children of all ages.
