A34353JAV11 - Live the French Dream in Rieux-Minervois
Imagine waking up to the gentle hum of life in a picturesque French village, surrounded by the rolling vineyards of the Minervois wine region. This stunning maison bourgeoise, a beautifully renovated early 20th-century home, offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury while preserving the original decorative elements, such as cement tiles and moldings. Set in the heart of the charming village of Rieux-Minervois, this property invites you to embrace the French lifestyle at its finest.
As you enter this grand home, you are greeted by a sense of elegance and warmth. The spacious entry hall (20 m²) sets the tone, leading you into a home that seamlessly combines refined decoration with practical living spaces.
A Home Designed for Living and Entertaining
The main living room (38 m²) becomes a cozy retreat on cooler evenings, with its closed fireplace casting a warm glow across the room. The adjacent smaller salon (15 m²) is an intimate corner, perfect for reading or unwinding with a glass of local wine.
The dining room with its unique stained glass windows from a Parisian Haussmann building, flows effortlessly into the open kitchen (18 m²), where you’ll love preparing meals inspired by the fresh produce from local markets. With its large windows and direct access to the garden, the kitchen is a sunlit hub of the home, ideal for gatherings with friends and family. Additionally, the kitchen is complemented by an extra bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink, providing practical everyday comfort.
A unique feature is the workshop (30 m²), accessible from the garden, offering endless possibilities. Whether you envision a creative studio, guest space, or additional bathroom, this room is ready to adapt to your needs.
A Private Sanctuary Upstairs
Ascend the staircase to find a haven of tranquility. The master suite (30 m²) is a true retreat, complete with an ensuite bathroom, dressing room, and air conditioning. Four additional bedrooms, filled with natural light, provide ample space for family or guests. A thoughtfully designed second bathroom ensures comfort and convenience for all.
Outdoor Oasis
Step outside, and you’ll discover your own private oasis. The heated saltwater infinity pool (3m x 10m) is the centerpiece of a beautifully landscaped garden. Enclosed by 4-meter-high walls, this space offers complete privacy—a rare luxury in the heart of the village. Spend your afternoons lounging by the pool, dining al fresco, or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance of this secluded haven.
The house is equipped with central gas heating complemented by a heat pump (PAC), air conditioning in the master suite, and hot water tanks for optimal comfort year-round.
