The view is so breathtaking you’ll find it difficult to move any further than the terrace or pool. It would be a pity though with the beautiful town of Carcassonne just a short drive away. |

Location |
This modern villa, built in the late '70s in Spanish style, offers total peace and tranquillity, and enjoys a beautiful setting surrounded by oak trees on a high hilltop, with spectacular panoramic views over the foothills of the Pyrénées right up to the Pyrénées Orientales. It is 3km from the small village of Roullens, with the nearest shops and bakery to be found in Preixan (6.5km). All shops, supermarkets and services, as well as good restaurants and a market three times weekly can be found at Carcassonne (14km). Limoux (20km) has a market on Fridays and is noted for its local sparkling white wine, "Blanquette de Limoux". The local wine region is La Malpère.
There is a riding stable at Montclar (4km), an 18 hole golf course at Carcassonne, and swimming and other sports possible on the river at Pomas (7km) or on the sandy beaches at Gruissan, a 45 minutes' drive away. The Spanish border and the Pyrénées are 90 minutes to the south. |

Exterior |
| The views from the terrace are quite extraordinary and the surrounding forty-two acres of private grounds are also very beautiful; walks can be taken from the property. There is a low bench along the length of the upper terrace - care must be taken with small children. The large swimming pool is set in a broad south-facing terrace with a pergola. A summer kitchen between the two houses features a built-in barbecue, a pizza oven, a cooker and a refrigerator. There is a private hard-surface tennis court which was resurfaced in 2006 and a small terraced garden. |

Interior |
The accommodation is divided as indicated above between the Main House and the Annexe. The furnishings are modern and comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom areas modern and well-equipped. The large open plan living/dining/kitchen area (with baby grand piano) in the Main House has a fireplace and large bay windows looking out onto the mountains. Also on the ground floor are a shower room and a separate wc. On the first floor are a double bedroom with an adjacent bathroom and a separate wc, all forming a suite, and a twin bedroom with an en suite shower room. External stairs lead up to another twin bedroom which has an en suite shower room with a wc.
In the Annexe, the living area has a fireplace at its centre surrounded by built-in bench seating, and is overlooked by a mezzanine with a single sofabed. Also on the ground floor are a double bedroom, a single bedroom, a bathroom and a wc. On the first floor there is a bedroom with two sets of bunk beds.
The furnishings are of a higher standard in the Main House than in the Annexe.
Care must be taken with small children due to the many levels and steps in the villa. |
