4 Bedroom House in Raissac-d'Aude
Formerly a 17th century vigneron's (winegrower's) house, it is situated in Raissac's church square. Raissac d'Aude is a small, tranquil village - a rural idyll of old houses in winding lanes set in traditional, wine-growing France. The village nestles between the junction of two rivers so there is no through traffic.
The house provides a high standard of attractive and comfortable accommodation and has a pool and private, walled garden. The interior of the building has been renovated to retain its character. The ground floor has a large, living/dining area with sofas, armchairs, dining table with seating for 10 adjoining the well equipped kitchen with hob, oven, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave.
