18th Century Holiday Farmhouse Near Carcassonne, Aude - La Maison d`Olives

This beautiful 200 year old 126 m2 farmhouse is uniquely situated on the tree-lined banks of the famous Canal du Midi.

Set in landscaped gardens that lead down to the tow path, there are plenty of quiet corners to enjoy a quick snooze in the sunshine or a glass of the local wine.

Alternatively sit by the heated pool from where you can hear the gentle ‘whoosh’ as the canal boats glide by or take cover under the shade of the ancient chestnut trees at the front of the house.

Rolling fields and acres of vineyards punctuate the surrounding countryside, in the heart of the Languedoc, – and yet the property is just a 20 minute drive from the unique walled ‘cite’ of Carcassonne.

Explore Cathar Castles, Les Montagnes Noires, medieval hilltop towns and colourful markets, all within easy reach.

The gites at Le Gabachou offer peace and tranquility, coupled with all the comforts you would expect in a real ‘home from home’.

There are several tables and chairs and bbs sited near the apartments and there is 3 acres/1 hectare garden, no passing traffic or neighbours.
