The Aude between Carcassonne and Limoux |
 Built just two years ago with great imagination and style, this architect-designed house nestles at the south-facing foot of a circular, hilltop village in the Razès.The main door to the house opens into a two-storey, light-filled atrium with floor-to-ceiling windows at the far end, framing the stunning views of the Pyrenees. The house is largely open-plan but curtained archways define the rooms. At the far end of the atrium and on the left is the dining room, with French windows opening out onto the south-facing terrace. Another door opens into the fully-fitted kitchen. To the right of the atrium is the sitting-room with a wood-burning stove and an archway leads through to the library. This flows easily into the study or third bedroom, which again leads out to the atrium. Opposite this is a downstairs cloakroom and corridor leading back to the kitchen. At the far side of the kitchen is a spacious utility area. The atrium has two rows of floor lights, continued outside onto the terrace, making it look quite spectacular at night. A wide, glass spiral staircase leads to a bridge which connects the two main bedrooms. Each of these bedrooms has its own large, private terrace. The master bedroom has a dressing room leading into its en-suite bathroom and french doors leading out to the terrace. The guest bedroom has an en-suite shower room and doors leading to a slightly larger terrace. The house has been designed to take advantage of the sheltered site and panoramic views. All the main rooms look at the Pyrenees. The 2,600m² garden is surrounded by vines (AOC Malepère) and woodland and, although just a two-minute walk from the village bakery, is totally private and peaceful. Bird-watchers may be interested to know that the owner reports recent sightings of golden aureoles, red-backed woodpeckers, nightingales and a committee of owls sitting along the branch of a tree outside the sitting-room window! There is scope on the site for further building and for a swimming pool. Heating is by electric radiators and a wood-burning stove and the house is linked to mains drainage. As the house is under 5 years old, it will be subject to reduced notaire's fees. This is a most unusual and beautiful house, built on a prime site and should be seen to be properly appreciated.
