The Domaine de La Jouane is situated at the western end of the Corbieres area in the Languedoc Roussillon region of France. From the property you can see Rennes les Chateau, the famous village, where the Cathares buried their treasures. It's a farm complex of 40 hectares of mixed grazing and wooded land, with its own fresh-water spring. The unspoilt rural valley where the farmstead lies is surrounded by other agricultural properties and offers magnificent views. There is water, electricity, telephone and internet connections in place.
