Farmhouse & Barn-Cottage, each
with four bedrooms & two bathrooms, own swimming-pool &
pretty gardens.
Benet is a mile from the once fortified village of Laurac le Grand, and
near to two world-protected monuments, the walled city of Carcassonne
(30 mins drive) and the Canal du Midi (10 mins) and 20 mins from the
medieval town square of Mirepoix with a superb market. The farm is near
the foothills of the Pyrenees ---where you can explore the Cathar
castles such as Puivert and Montsegur or tour the high mountains as far
as Andorra --- and is only an hour's drive from the Mediterranean
coast. Ideal for those who love nature and wildlife and tranquillity,
yet shops, supermarkets & restaurants are only a 15 mins
pleasant
drive.

BENET
FARM
is at the end of its own long lane, surrounded by fields and moors, so
there is no passing traffic (only the baker's van!) The farmhouse and
barn-cottage are at opposite ends of a long line of farm buildings. The
owners live in another converted barn nearby
(“Benet”' is
no longer a working farm; although the owners keep some horses, cats
and friendly dogs --and hens, so you can have fresh-eggs for
breakfast!) There are pretty shared gardens and terraces all around the
property where guests can freely room, but each house has its own pool
and terrace and private outdoor space for barbecue-ing and relaxing in
sun or shade. Both houses are traditional cool, stone building but well
modernised and well equipped.
The farmhouse is a little more
spacious &
elegant than the cottage with some fine pieces of Breton antique
furniture; the cottage is simpler in style but has the larger pool.
Both houses have four bedrooms but in the farmhouse the fourth bedroom
is part of a small apartment which can he kept separate or added to the
rest – ideal perhaps where there are two families or an
accompanying relation.
