"LE MANOIR DE CANET D'AUDE" is a fully, recently renovated and imposing Belle Epoque Maison de Maitre - 'Master's House of the Beautiful Era' with 9 bedrooms.

It was originally built in the early 1830's, as a show of influence by one of the wealthiest farmers, landowners and Wine and Brandy producers - For many years later in it's life it was home to the family of the Mayor of Narbonne.

It is positioned semi rurally, on the edge of the thriving village of Canet D'Aude, under a mile from the Canal Du Midi at Ventenac with it's choice of Restaurants - While still being close to all essential services at Lezignan Corbieres and the Cathedral City of Narbonne, with it's choice of High Quality Sandy Beaches beyond.

To the rear it has a Huge Shady Garden and a Brand New Pool (With child's security barrier) and Sun Terrace.

It was Completely Renovated in early 2013 to retain all it's original character and patina but functions perfectly as a modern and practical property should.

This house really suits Larger Gathering, Special Events, Parties, Tour Group's and Multiple Families perfectly....

* We can accommodate up to 14-18 People in 9 Double Hi Quality Hotel (Splittable into Singles for Teenagers and Singles Sharing) Beds, Two Pull Out Bed's for younger children who don't mind sharing with their Parents and Four Cots.
