Description

A41876CYV11 - Built in 2017 and set against a hillside just above the village of Durban-Corbières, this architect-designed property offers a rare combination of contemporary architecture, flexibility of use and an exceptional natural setting.

Formerly a family home with a gîte, the property is now arranged as three independent gîtes, while retaining the possibility to reconnect two of them and recreate a main residence if desired. Clean lines, generous volumes and large glazed openings define the style, with each unit enjoying its own outdoor space and views.

A 1,000-litre water storage tank automatically takes over in the event of water cuts, ensuring day-to-day comfort. The house sits on a buildable plot of approximately 1,209 m². In addition, a second, separate plot of around 3,470 m² is included. This additional land is non-constructible and located nearby; it is equipped with drinking water and lends itself well to uses such as keeping animals (e.g. goats) or other complementary land use.

Gîte 1 – North-facing, terrace and pool with village views

This gîte opens onto a terrace and a slightly lower-level swimming pool, both overlooking the village of Durban-Corbières and the opposite hillside.

The living room with open-plan kitchen benefits from large sliding glass doors leading directly onto the terrace. This is the only gîte equipped with a wood-burning stove, providing a warm focal point in winter.

The sleeping area includes:
- One bedroom with washbasin and bay windows, with the possibility to install a shower or bath
- Two additional bedrooms
- One bathroom with washbasin, shower and WC
- A separate WC

Gîte 2 – Spacious volumes, patio and thermodynamic water heater

Accessed via its own entrance, a staircase leads up to the kitchen, which opens onto the living room with large sliding doors onto a patio.

This gîte offers:

- One bedroom with bay windows, dressing area and bathroom with corner bath and washbasin
- Two further bedrooms
- A second bathroom with double washbasin, large walk-in shower and WC
- Thermodynamic hot water system

Until 2021, Gîte 2 and Gîte 3 formed a single family home. This configuration can easily be restored by opening the wall behind the kitchen of Gîte 2, at an estimated cost of €5,000–€10,000.

Gîte 3 – South-facing terrace and open countryside views

Entered via a south-facing terrace, this gîte offers a bright living room with open kitchen and large sliding glass doors opening onto the terrace.

From both the living room and terrace, the view extends over open countryside and natural surroundings. The wooded view applies specifically to the bedroom located on the west side of the house.

The gîte includes:

- One bedroom with bay windows and wooded western view
- A second bedroom
- Bathroom with shower and washbasin
- Separate WC

Furniture is not included in the sale price; however, subject to a suitable offer, the seller would be open to including the furniture as part of the transaction.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
