house for sale Saissac, Aude

Nestled in the heart of nature, this exceptional estate spans 9 contiguous hectares, including 3 hectares dedicated to truffle oaks and a +300 m² water reservoir.

Enjoy an outstanding setting just one minute from a charming and dynamic village, located on the sunny southern slope of the Montagne Noire. The village offers a variety of shops, restaurants, a museum, a medical practice, and both primary and nursery schools. The stunning lakes of the Montagne Noire are just a stone’s throw away, in a privileged natural environment with numerous hiking trails. This remarkable property includes a beautiful historic residence of 215 m² with a terrace and adjoining garden offering breathtaking views, as well as two independent gîtes of 72 m² and 76 m².

A private swimming pool, secluded from view, adds to the estate’s charm. The main house features a spacious 50 m² double living room, an office or bedroom with access to an interior courtyard (which could be converted into a ground-floor bedroom), a beautiful modern kitchen with a pantry, and a large terrace overlooking the majestic tree-lined driveway. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and an attic space that can be converted. The two gîtes, in need of some refreshment, are each arranged with a living area, kitchen space, two or three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a private terrace with independent access. The property also benefits from two wells. Heating includes central gas heating, a wood-burning stove, and electric heating in the gîtes. With its idyllic location, proximity to amenities, breathtaking views, and untapped potential in truffle oak cultivation and holiday rentals, this estate is a rare gem waiting to be discovered. Significant renovation is needed, particularly in insulation and sanitation. Carcassonne is just 25 minutes away, and Toulouse is 1 hour and 15 minutes away.
