Nature house in Festes-et-Saint-André

The contemporary nature house, built of natural stone and cedar wood, is located in a quiet place. The nature house has a 3000 m² fenced garden with trees and workshop. The house is located in a medieval village (hamlet) overlooking a 17th century Romanesque church and a castle. The gite is part of the house, can accommodate two to three people and offers a lot of privacy. There is a living space of 37 m² with French doors to a south-facing terrace, as well as a fully equipped wooden kitchen, dining area, television, shower, separate toilet and large bedroom (22 m²). In the living space there are comfortable armchairs and a sofa (can be used as a single bed). The contemporary spaces are high, light and cool in summer, warm in winter (underfloor heating).The floor in the living area is natural stone from the nearby quarry and the bedroom has a wooden floor, wooden ceiling and natural stone wall. There is a covered outdoor area (12 m²) and an outdoor terrace with sun and shade areas. Beautiful views over the garden with fruit trees, the Romanesque church and the surrounding hills. Sun bed, hammock and outdoor chairs available. There is private parking.

In the valley there are several small villages. In the immediate surroundings you see hills with trees and mostly organic vineyards, sheep and a small river. A little further on looms the very changing landscape of the Aude and the Pyrenees. Cypresses, olives and the yellow stone of the houses give the area a Mediterranean atmosphere. On this side of the river Aude you see ochre-colored earth, on the other side is red earth. You can make beautiful walks and bike tours. From your terrace you have a beautiful view over the garden with fruit trees and the surrounding hills. At night there is a beautiful starry sky and you can hear the call of the owl. It is a quiet place. The area is authentic and peaceful. In the area you will find many powerful energy places, such as the labyrinth in Nebias, the Hermitage in the Gorges de Galamus and the Mary Magdalene cave near Rennes le Chateau. There are impressive Cathar castles on striking mountain tops.
