Area ✧ may only have been delisted
✦ in solid condition but interior needs significant finishing work but has been prepped for refitting
✦ dropped from 129k, presumably because it is unpresentable inside
✦ compare with #214
✦ main building 3* 125m2 plus probably 50m2+ caves
✦ 250m2 garden on two levels with 210m2 main garden two steps higher than rear building terrace of 40m2
✦ 2* 50m2 annexe in garden which would make good studios/bunkroom
✦ could be extended 30m2 with roof terrace or for 50m2+ on two floors thus also enclosing garden as courtyard

✦ this location is very quiet and rural with pretty villages and a few cafés/restos
✦ the lovely little town of Mirepoix is 25mins drive, and Limoux or Foix at 40mins, but zero access to cosmopolitan life
✦ most practical access is train from Toulouse to Pamiers or Foix (45 mins drive)om where there's busses to Mirepoix (30mins bus + 25mins drive) or Lavelanet (45mins bus + 10mins drive); the airport at Carcassonne is 1h drive, but the train to Limoux (30mins +40mins drive) or from 2025 Quillan (1h20 bus +30mins drive currently) makes it adequately accessible for pickups
✦ at the base of the pyrenees, not far from several cathar castles; lots of good hiking, lake 15mins bike (with good cafes/hangouts), sailing/kayak/sup 15mins drive, horse riding, paragliding launch site; lakes are good for swimming and likely river spots; SUP would be possible with own boards
✦ village has a minimarket, and what appears to a pretty cool little cafe–pub; plus a tennis court, a large green and a hall
an old railway greenway of 38km passes connecting with the two towns (30–45mins or 1h bike) and nearby villages having a brewery (15mins) for easy exploring by bike
✦ nearest skiing 45mins drive but obviously not likely to last
✦ there's a yoga retreat a short walk away
