Description
Bien extrêmement rare : en plein cœur du secteur recherché du village de Palaja, à quelques minutes de la cité médiévale de Carcassonne, ce domaine sans vis-à-vis est niché dans son parc, à l'ombre de pins centenaires. La maison principale et ses ailes comprennent 2 cuisines équipées ouvertes, chacune sur sa pièce de vie, 4 chambres avec 4 salles de bains et/ou douche. On y trouve également une salle de sport avec salon d'accueil, vestiaire, sauna, toilettes et douche. Ce bien possède de grands volumes divisibles si l'on désire un retour locatif, ou à utiliser en un ensemble, en tant que grande propriété familiale. L'espace loisir, privé et confortable, offre une large capacité d'accueil avec un studio indépendant, une cuisine d'été avec salon/salle à manger en véranda se développant sur un grand patio extérieur avec bar et pergolas. Très pratique et bien pensée, cette propriété propose un garage/stockage de 60m² ainsi que de nombreuses pièces de rangement et locaux techniques. Ce domaine, entretenu et récemment développé, est extrêmement versatile et prêt à accueillir une famille ou un projet professionnel.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
