Here's a lovely 1850 country house in Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Carcassonne, France. It has 17bds, 11ba €2.835M / $3.08M. But, look at what comes with it-
A mini gothic cathedral. We'll tour the house first, then go inside the chapel.
The 1850 home was renovated and it's light and bright, but still retains an old world feel.
In the large dining room, the wainscoting is still there, but they've painted it gray. The doors were left original, though.
The kitchen has very modern cabinets, but they were made to fit into the original footprint. A table was attached to the island to make it a true eat-in kitchen.
There's also a delightful terrace that feels like you're sitting in a gazebo. The property has a pool and that might be it, in the distance.
The library has a nice fireplace and lots of built-in shelving.
Thru pocket doors is a spacious main-floor bedroom.
Either the main floor bedroom or this one could be the primary. It looks like the owners use this one. It's spacious and has a lovely fireplace.
The tub in this bath looks like a giant bowl.
This is a lovely bedroom. It's pretty big, too.
The rustic family room has an interesting large fireplace, tree trunk beams, and a mezzanine.
The mezzanine includes a large casual TV area.
A lower floor was made into a 2nd very big kitchen/dining room combo for entertaining a large group, maybe a venue for wedding parties.
Now the chapel that looks like a mini cathedral. This would be a great wedding venue.
The ornate gothic carving in here is amazing. It has an altar behind an iron railing.
The stone work is no less magnificent than in big cathedrals.
This building alone is worth buying the property. It even has a small choir loft.
And, look at the details of this loft. It's just a stunning building.
The grounds are beautiful and the private lake is large enough for a row boat. There are 10 hectares of land (about 24 acres) and they include a pool that isn't shown.
