Villa in Leran, Ariege

Exclusive to beaux villages! In the heart of the sought-after village of Léran, close to the medieval town of Mirepoix and just moments from the shores of Lac de Montbel, this remarkable ensemble of character buildings offers a rare combination of space, heritage and versatility.

At its heart is a substantial eight-bedroom principal residence, complemented by an independent two-bedroom guest house, making the property ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or income generation (possible gite - subject to necessary permissions). Period features such as high ceilings, fireplaces and original tiled floors are preserved throughout and balanced with modern comforts, including eight bathrooms, central heating, partial double glazing and a heated saltwater swimming pool.

An attached village house arranged over three floors, to renovate, provides further scope to extend the accommodation, create additional guest units or develop a separate dwelling, subject to the necessary permissions. Additional outbuildings include a detached stone garage and the atmospheric ruins of a former tannery, offering exciting potential for creative restoration or landscaping projects.

Light-filled rooms in the main house create a home that feels both generous in proportion and welcoming. While some cosmetic updates would enhance the overall presentation, the property is immediately comfortable and ready to enjoy.

Outside, large mature gardens complete with stream, offer privacy and tranquillity, with sun-dappled terraces, shaded corners and generous space for entertaining, relaxing or hosting guests. The pool area is perfectly positioned for long summer days and social gatherings.

Whether envisaged as a boutique B and B or gîte business, a family estate, or a refined village retreat close to one of Ariège’s most beautiful lakes, this property offers charm, flexibility and an enviable lifestyle in equal measure.

Located in a popular village, just ten minutes from Mirepoix and within easy reach of Toulouse and Carcassonne, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished village property with character, privacy and exceptional potential. Contact us today to arrange a visit.
