... department and the Languedoc-Occitanie region !
The property is located in the center of a small picturesque municipality where time seems to have stood still and which is set amidst a beautiful, wooded, varied Mediterranean hilly landscape. The municipality boasts monumental 12th-century buildings such as the restored castle and church. Besides a quiet and inspiring environment one finds here a campsite and a few wineries.
Numerous walks and cycling tours can be started from the house. Nearby are several (market) towns such as; Gabian, Roujan, Clermont l'Hérault, Lamalou les Bains, Bédarieux, Faugères and of course Pézenas.
The major cities of Béziers and sparkling Montpellier, each with their own High Speed Train station and international airport, are at a 45-55 minutes' drive away.
The shores of the beautiful "Lac du Salagou" are about 20 kilometers away and the Mediterranean beaches about 45 kilometers away.
This property has its origins around the year 1870 and therefore it has a rich past. The history of this house is still reflected in numerous original details such as the massive natural stone walls or in the vaults. With every step forward, one will be surprised by natural stone, old doors, beams or others. While entering this property, one will feel immediately home.
About 15 years ago, the property was largely restored with honest materials and with respect for the past but with nowadays values.
The total built area counts over 335 m² including the actual living area of 149 m² offering, among other rooms, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms,. One of the special features of this house is that its use can be combined in different ways. With 2 kitchens, several outdoor areas and access to 2 different streets, it is rather easy to split off a part for friends, a business or a part for renting out a holiday accommodation. There are several outbuildings that offer more development potential: for example, it would be relatively easy to create a guest house in the winery workshop on the ground floor.
On the covered terrace, summer days can be fully enjoyed. The 3 gardens are a real asset with this house. One garden, with its vine-covered pergola adjoins the house. The second garden, with a well and old lime tree, is opposite the house's own old bread oven. The third garden, not adjacent, is by the water, just 400 meters away from the house, and is used as a vegetable garden.
The house and gardens offer several viewpoints over the old village center, with the castle and the restored church tower playing a dominant role, or over the surrounding natural landscape.
The current owners, own and farm some wine-growing land (26,270 m²) in a village around twenty minutes away by car. This land and the wine-growing equipment could , if wished, be sold separately and will then be subject of a separate negotiation.
The house is ready to move in and very suitable for a permanent stay in the South of France. Due to its charm, its composition, its privileged location and its still-to-be-developed potential, numerous other uses are also conceivable.
