Sleeps 4 · 2 bedrooms · Private terrace · 30 acres
Step into stillness.
This self-contained apartment sits within an old stone farmhouse above the village of Hounoux, in the ancient Razès, one of the least visited, most quietly astonishing corners of southern France.
Open fields stretch out in one direction. In the other, a private forest with a running stream threads through the estate. Thirty acres of land, yours alone for the duration of your stay.
Inside you'll find two bedrooms sleeping four, a kitchen genuinely stocked for cooking, thick walls that stay cool in summer, and the kind of quiet that takes a day to get used to. The apartment has its own entrance, its own terrace, entirely separate from the rest of the farmhouse.
Outside, the grounds open in every direction. Walk into the fields. Follow the treeline down to the stream. Sit on the terrace with something local in a glass and watch the light change over the Pyrenees. The Razès asks very little of you, and gives a great deal back.
Please note that the accommodation is not suitable for noisy evenings. The calm of this place must be respected in order to preserve the tranquility of the other occupants. Pets are not permitted.
Fields, forest and a stream.
Thirty acres of private land surround the farmhouse. Walk out into open countryside, follow the treeline down to the private forest, and find the stream that runs through it.
Wake up to the Pyrenees on the horizon, their peaks catching the first light of the morning. Watch the mist roll through the valley below. Listen to nothing but birdsong and wind. As the day slows, the sky turns. Sunsets here are the kind that stop you mid-sentence.
There is genuinely no noise. Only the sounds of nature. Just the land, the light, and the changing weather over the hills.
The grounds are yours for the duration of your stay. Bring walking boots. Bring a book. Bring nothing at all.
