In the heart of a lively mountain village, set within the historic Cathar Country in southern France, this remarkable stone village house dates back to 1713, as evidenced by the engraved keystone above its elegant arched entrance.
Beautifully and sympathetically renovated throughout, the property combines the timeless charm of period architecture with the comfort of modern living. Spacious rooms, exposed stone walls finished with traditional lime plaster, original wooden beams, period fireplaces, and an authentic bread oven all contribute to the home's unique character, while high-quality contemporary upgrades ensure exceptional comfort.
Attached on one side, with an east-west aspect and enjoying a peaceful setting, the property offers 363 m² (3,907 sq ft) of living space on a 1,440 m² (15,500 sq ft) plot. Stunning stone terraces built into the mountainside provide wonderful outdoor living areas.
