Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Mailhac, France

A39308PIC11 - Located in the heart of the charming medieval village of Mailhac, just 25 minutes from Narbonne, this beautifully renovated 95 m² stone house combines authentic character with modern comfort. It features an intimate 35 m² patio, a bright veranda, and a garage — a rare asset in the village centre. The private, secluded patio has no overlooking neighbours, making it ideal for installing a jacuzzi or hot tub if desired.

On the ground floor, a peaceful patio provides a private outdoor space ideal for relaxing or entertaining. It opens onto a bright veranda which leads to a small room with a toilet and the washing machine. This space also offers the possibility to create a second bathroom, if desired. Direct access leads to the garage, which can accommodate a small car (though it is narrow and not very practical for everyday use). In addition, there is a private parking space in front of the garage and ample free parking nearby.

The main living area is warm and inviting, with an open fitted kitchen, a cosy living room with wood-burning stove, and an additional room that can serve as an office, workshop, or guest room.

Upstairs, there is a modern shower room with WC and a low ceiling — perfectly fine for a holiday home but less convenient for taller people (over 1.70 m) for long-term use. A first bedroom of around 11 m² gives access to a second, larger bedroom of 19 m², located just behind it. This layout makes it possible to keep the first room as a bedroom and convert the second into a dressing room with bathroom, creating a comfortable primary suite.

The quality renovation highlights the charm of the stone walls, with PVC wood-effect windows, solar roller shutters, and a partially new and recently restored roof. Heating is provided mainly by the wood-burning stove (around 5 stères/year), which keeps the ground floor warm and the upstairs bedrooms at around 18 °C in winter. Two electric oil-filled radiators provide extra heat if needed. There is no fixed heating upstairs and no air conditioning.

This property also has excellent seasonal rental potential thanks to its location, charm and layout — perfect as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home.

The surrounding homes are occupied by residents of various nationalities, creating a warm and international community atmosphere.
