10 acre domain of glorious countryside, on a hill, private, yet at the edge of a small village in Aude, magnificent views. Beautiful sunsets.

Fantastic walking and in beautiful unspoilt nature.
We have dogs, cats, chickens , and parrots.
So, though we adore animals you will not be able to bring yours. Our little dogs, Lolita and William, both Coton de Tulears, adore visitors and will welcome you to our grounds. Golf at 25 minutes from the mills at Carcassonne nearby the famous Cite Medieval
Village Activities: The friendly, wine producing village provides walks, excursions and village open air dances and (occasionally) meals in the summer. Walk down to the small supermarket, there's also a butcher, post office and pharmacy.
Fantastic sightseeing: the famous Medieval Walled City of Carcassonne is reached in 25 minutes. There are beautful abbeys nearby and of course the Cathar Castles, from the early Middle Ages. In fact, the mill itself dates from the Cathar period (1266) and is probably the first windmill in the South of France.
In 1988 Allan and I moved here permanently. He carried on teaching his students via video conferencing (Physics Prof) as well as doing research. I stopped my Clinical Psychology Psychotherapy practice and went in for spinning, weaving, goats, horses, chickens, gardening etc. This 'back to nature' period left us with the chickens (eggs!), , a vineyard (wine) and a beautiful wooded area around the Mills, having planted almost 1000 trees.
