Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Courniou, France

A36428CFO34 - Let's begin our visit, our eyes filled with wonder at having discovered this nugget in the heart of a picturesque hamlet! In fact, the charm of the stone is unrivalled - it's simply magical!
After climbing the steps of the beautiful stone staircase and being charmed by the terraced garden and its many relaxation areas, we arrived at the threshold of the house and its terrace.
As soon as we crossed the threshold, we could appreciate the chic country-style renovation, just the way we like it! It's so beautiful!
A corridor leads into a traditional 15m2 kitchen with flagstone floor, staircase and mezzanine, which is one of the ways of accessing the sleeping area. From the kitchen, you can also access the large reception room - everything is interconnected here!
Back in the hallway, you'll find a beautiful 23m2 dining room with 3 windows that let in plenty of natural light, followed by a cosy 18m2 library lounge with a wood-burning stove, and a 16m2 bedroom with en suite bathroom, a real bonus on this ground floor.

The former sheepfold is a 70m2 reception room that can be accessed from the hallway, the kitchen and even the first floor. The layout and design of the rooms is highly original, allowing you to make the most of the space in complete independence! This living room is simply incredible; it takes your breath away! Cathedral ceiling rising to 7.50 m !!!! Exposed stonework, a mezzanine with a glass landing and a large bay opening onto the grounds at the rear, this space is absolutely breathtaking! It also opens onto the 50m3 heated in-ground swimming pool, a wc and a shower room.
Still in this incredible room, a spiral staircase leads to two bedrooms upstairs, which can also be accessed from the mezzanine over the kitchen.
Don't worry, the video will help you find your way around!
An outbuilding built into the rock with a sleeping area upstairs would be perfect for a small gîte, and a garage in the basement with a boiler room, wine cellar and storage space would give you even more space. On the other side of the square, which serves as a communal car park, another garage awaits you with its small surrounding areas.

This property has a real charm about it, and it's hard to leave - you feel so at home here!

If you're looking for a unique, peaceful place to put your suitcases, look no further - it's here! Come and visit this unusual property, which is sure to delight you, in the beautiful Occitanie region, one of the last affordable regions in the south of France.

Location:

5 minutes from the village of Courniou, which is situated on the 612 between Saint-Pons-de-Thomières and Labastide-Rouairoux, on the western edge of the Hérault département, on the border with the Tarn département.
It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, as it is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
To the west of the town is the Col de la Fenille (459 m) on the D612 before the departmental border with the Tarn.
The town is criss-crossed by the Passapaïs greenway, and is also famous for its magnificent grotte de la Fileuse de Verre: the only cave in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Park, this natural gem was discovered in 1886 by French railway workers.
A listed site, it reveals sublime calcite flows, aragonite flowers and grandiose jagged draperies.
To the south, the famous Minervois and Saint Chinianais wine-growing areas.
You'll be instantly captivated by this south-facing region, a land that smells of holidays and a southern accent, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut Languedoc and the Occitanie region.
With Béziers and Carcassonne airports just an hour's drive away, and the Mediterranean beaches less than an hour's drive away, this is an ideal location for buying a property.
