A41552CST11 -
Au Pont Romain enjoys a privileged setting on the edge of the medieval village of Caunes-Minervois, resting beside the gentle Argent-Double River. Once an historic marble mill, this remarkable domaine now extends across 1.6 hectares of serene private grounds, offering uninterrupted views of the Montagne Noire. Despite its complete tranquillity and immersion in nature, the estate is only a 15-minute stroll from cafés, bars, seven restaurants, boutiques, the 9th-century abbey, and several renowned art galleries.

The property includes four beautifully presented and fully equipped gîtes, each with its own distinct charm:

La Rivière (51 m²) – a spacious 3-bedroom riverside gîte accommodating up to 6 guests.

Le Pont (49 m²) – a bright, single-level apartment for 4, with views of the Roman bridge.

Le Moulin (62 m²) – an elegant one-bedroom retreat with a private terrace.

La Montagne (78 m²) – a rustic 2-bedroom gîte with breathtaking mountain views.

Complementing the gîtes is the main house (155 m²), which offers spacious and comfortable living areas. The ground floor features a generous open-plan dining and living room with a wood burner, a fully fitted kitchen, a shower room, and an additional room that can serve as either a bedroom or a home office. On this level, a large ensuite bedroom with direct garden access provides an excellent opportunity for a chambre d’hôtes room or private guest suite.

The first floor offers two further bright and airy bedrooms, ideal for owner’s accommodation or for creating an additional self-contained rental unit.

The fabulous gardens enjoy wide-open views and feature a 10 × 5 m swimming pool, providing an idyllic setting for guests to relax and unwind beside the river.

Key advantages include:

Fuel-efficient wood burners in the main house and three gîtes
Brand-new fosse septique
Private water supply via a forage, dramatically reducing running costs
All gîtes sold fully furnished and equipped
Strong rental history with a loyal client base
