Large estate for sale Laurac, Languedoc

by Simon Oliver
(Toulouse, France)

This is a large estate of over 40 acres in the hills beyond Carcassonne. The main building houses three dewellings: the owner's cottage and two gites.

The gites are currently let out each summer for, respectively, 1850 euros/week (the 5-bedroomed gite) and 600 euros (the 2-bedroomed gite).

This provides a comfortable income for the rest of the year.

Although secluded (nearest neighbour at 800 metres) the estate is only ten minutes from Castelnaudary with its schools, shops, markets, train station and motorway access. Carcassonne airport is only 30 minutes away.

The land is quarter woodland and three-quarters pasture. Good for donkeys and horses but not much flat land.

There is a well and a spring on the land providing sustainable water supplies, which, with all that wood (and sun!) makes this an attractive propostion for ecologists facing up to the 21st century.
