Grounds
The total size of the plot is 1916m2 and a stone wall with the large gate encloses the property. Old trees mixed with Mediterranean bushes and plenty of flowers make the place very welcoming and privacy is granted. A fish pond and the own mandarins, oranges, lemons and figs are part of the joy of the Southern French life style.
 
General Condition
The Maison de Maître benefits from town gas central heating, windows are partly in single glazed wood and most in PVC double glazed. The Gîtes have doble glazed PVC wood imitation windows. It would be easy to get the gas central heating installed in the Gîtes to extend the season in case of a business. The Maison de Maître needs updating.

Comments
An unusual property sitting in the old center of a village, very quiet and only a few steps from all amenities and restaurants. In a short driving distance is Narbonne and a bit further the Mediterranean sea. A letting business could give a good income, being open even all year round thanks to the indoor pool. A good opportunity for a change of life style in a sunny pleasant climate.
