Located at the entrance to the village of Raissac d'Aude, Le Ramonétage is an extremely comfortable 2 bedroom apartment in what was once the wine workers' accommodation of the wine domain.  
 
The entrance to the apartment is rustic in appearance; it is located immediately above the stables (which serves as a games room) in a separate building to the main house; it has its own dedicated entrance through stable doors with staircase leading upto the apartment which incorporates all modern conveniences. To the front (south) there are views over the vineyards which are still owned by the family who originally built the domain. To the rear there are views over the 10X5 metre swimming pool. Off-road parking is available directly outside the stables.  
 
Between the village store, the local shops at Canet (5mins) and the more comprehensive shopping at Lezignan Corbieres (10mins) and Narbonne (15mins), all amenities are within easy distance. 
Entrance:  
Through stable doors, a staircase leads up to the apartment. Located in the stables on the ground floor, which also serves as a games/table tennis room, are such things as outdoor seat cushions, sun umbrellas, travel cot and pedestal fans. A washing machine/ironing board/iron is also available for use if required. 
 
First floor - Open plan living/dining room/kitchen: 
You enter the apartment into the main living area which is approximately 40 sq metres in size. Fully fitted kitchen with a tall fridge freezer, dish washer, an electric oven with grill and a 4 ring ceramic hob with 'chimney' style extractor fan. There is lighting under the cupboards and plenty of electric sockets. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils and crockery. Taking full advantage of the front aspect over the plane trees and vineyards, is a dining table for 4 people. The insert fire place sits between the dining area and the living area where you will find a settee and armchairs. The afternoon/early evening sun lights up this room and on a clear day, you can see the chain of the Pyrenees mountains to the south which are snow-capped from around November to May. 
 
Bedroom 1: 
At the rear of the property with views towards the swimming pool, abri and the old cedar tree the room is simply furnished with an iron bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. The floor is tiled.  
Bedroom 2: 
Situated between the living area and the main bedroom, bedroom 2 offers twin beds. Accessed from the corridor, there are also french double doors leading directly into the living area which ensures light floods into the bedroom during the day time. The floor is tiled.  
 
Shower room: 
The shower room has an 80cm shower with good water pressure as well as a toilet and sink. A small window provides a welcome flow of air in the summer. Three walls and the floor are tiled creating a tasteful, clean and modern feel. 
 
The grounds: 
The property is comprised of one long building which is split into three distinct sections. Initially, you have the main house, then the old stables with guest apartment above followed by the barn. On all sides the property is surrounded by its own private grounds which amounts to just under an acre. Within the grounds you will find a variety of fruit trees as well as palm trees and the magnificent cedar tree adjacent to the swimming pool. The main lawn area to the side of the barn provides a great area for games, lounging or dining (barbecue nearby). There are also a variety of seating areas and hence whether you like shade or sun, you'll be able to find somewhere which suits.  
 
The fully enclosed swimming pool is sunny from early morning through to early evening and aside from sun loungers, also has a table and chairs for dining beside the pool. In the pool house is a "cuisine d'été" with a sink and also a fridge where you might like to store cold drinks etc.

The area is well known for its Cathar castles & local wine. Spain is only 75min away. Raissac has a corner shop for bread & groceries, a postoffice & its own winery open Tue/Fri am. Visiting vans sell meat/fish in the church square. 5min away is Canet with a bar, pizzerie, small supermarket, bakers, doctor/pharmacy, newagents & butchers.
