Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Courniou, France

A42879FV34 - Let's begin the tour. This villa is located at the end of the driveway, in a quiet setting!
We are a million miles away from imagining that we are in the presence of a little gem.
In fact, the main openings to the living areas, terraces and garden are well hidden and very well exposed on the south side and not visible from the entrance!
Let's go inside! A small glass vestibule protects the entrance. We push open the door and there, as you all know, is the wow effect! What a magnificent room! We immediately recognise the skill of the craftsman who made everything with his own hands, sparing no effort, with passion and a love of a job well done!
We are in the incredible living room of over 50m² with exposed beams, solid oak joinery, a dining area with a stone fireplace with a closed hearth and heat recovery system. This fireplace is central and double-sided so that you can enjoy its warmth and comfort from both the lounge and the dining room.
Large French windows open onto a huge terrace at the front, which is a real invitation to relax and enjoy life in the sun, so precious in our beautiful region!

A 24m² mezzanine is perfect for a study or a space for young children, accessed via a solid staircase.
Underneath this mezzanine area, which extends from the living room, there are two bedrooms. A highly original bathroom with toilet, a small house within the house with its own roof and curved walls, is located at the back of the dining room! The pebble shower is particularly striking!
Then there is a 15m² open-plan kitchen, also handcrafted, which will charm you with its high-quality design.
And... a somewhat secret 20.2m² room, one of the most original features of the house: a space originally intended for a jacuzzi, with all the necessary connections already in place, or which would be perfect for an office or another bedroom if required!
Now for the more private sleeping area: a beautiful 18.5 m² master bedroom with a shower room and access to the terrace – what a joy!
But that's not all! The house has a full basement!
Incredible! It consists of a studio space with a wet room to be finished, a cellar, and a huge 93m² garage with a water supply and storage space, accessed from the lean-to under the terrace!
All around is enclosed land that you can plant and landscape as you wish!

We assure you that this villa is truly unique!
If you are looking for a unique, peaceful spot to settle down, look no further—you've found it! Come and visit this unusual property, which is sure to delight you, in the beautiful Occitanie region, one of the last affordable areas in the south of France.

To the south are the famous wine-growing regions of Minervois and Saint Chinianais.
A region of the south that will instantly charm you, a terroir that exudes the spirit of holidays and the southern accent in the heart of the Haut Languedoc Regional Nature Park and the Occitanie region.
