Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Narbonne, France

A38142PIC11 - As you step through the gates of this former 19th-century wine estate, you immediately feel the charm and quiet rhythm of the place. Once surrounded by vineyards, the domaine now sits in the heart of a peaceful and welcoming village, just a short walk from the boulangerie, the café, the bike-rental shop and the small Sunday market. The property forms a T-shaped building, partly original and partly renovated between 2011 and 2014, and now offers ten independent apartments arranged around sunny courtyards and private terraces.

The current owners do not live on site, and all apartments are rented out for six months per year. Three of the apartments in the historic wing are interconnected internally; they can be closed off and rented separately, combined two-by-two or as a group of three, or transformed into a spacious owner’s residence. The interiors are simple, bright and functional, with a variety of finishes depending on each gîte. Some rooms retain traditional touches, while others have been designed for easy, low-maintenance holiday use.

Each apartment has its own electric hot-water tank, its own electrical panel and a private terrace equipped with its own barbecue. The terraces are separated by hedges to offer privacy to guests. Heating is provided by electric radiators, and sanitary hot water is electric. Fibre-optic internet is installed. The 14 x 5 m swimming pool is heated and fully fenced, and its liner, pump and tubing were replaced four years ago. A water pump on the property has, according to the owners, never run dry. Private parking is available for 10 to 12 cars.

In addition, an older part of the building, currently unheated and used for storage, offers further development possibilities (for example: yoga room, meeting space, workshop).
