Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES ! The approach is via an extraordinary natural setting on the edge of a peaceful hamlet, this remarkable stone property combines centuries of history, authentic character and breathtaking views across wooded valleys and vineyards.



Parts of the property date back several hundred years and the estate has evolved over time into a beautiful ensemble comprising a charming main residence, two independent guest houses, 2 swimming pools and approximately 9 hectares of land.



The main house is approached via an elegant tree-lined staircase leading to a superb elevated terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside. From the moment you step inside, the property's authenticity is evident. Original features have been lovingly preserved, including exposed stone walls finished with traditional limewash, beautiful terracotta "tomettes" floors and a wealth of period details that create a warm and timeless atmosphere.



On the ground floor, a series of practical storage rooms, cellars and garages have been ingeniously carved into the natural rock, providing extensive storage and workshop space.



The living areas are full of character, offering cool and welcoming retreats during the summer months. The kitchen is particularly impressive, blending whitewashed stonework with natural river stone and contemporary brushed aluminium worktops. At its centre, a large dining table is perfectly positioned to enjoy spectacular views across the valley, vineyards and surrounding forests.



Opening directly from the kitchen, a magnificent rock-perched terrace provides an unforgettable outdoor living space. Here, under vast southern skies, one can relax in complete tranquillity whilst taking in the beauty of the landscape stretching away in every direction.



The bedrooms are classically French in style, each enjoying attractive proportions, charming windows and delightful views over the surrounding countryside.



In addition to the main residence, the property benefits from two beautifully renovated independent guest houses. Both combine contemporary loft-style interiors with the property's original natural features, including exposed stone and dramatic rock formations integrated into the living spaces.



The first guest house enjoys its own elevated terraced garden and swimming pool, while the second benefits from a separate enclosed garden with a pool directly opposite. Both offer generous accommodation and excellent potential for hosting family and friends or a potential rental business, subject to permissions.



Outside, approximately 9 hectares of land surround the property, including paddock space suitable for horses. The setting offers a rare sense of privacy and immersion in nature whilst avoiding complete isolation.



Ideally located in the Minervois, one of the most sought-after regions of southern France, the property is just a ten-minutes drive from a vibrant village with shops, restaurants and services. Narbonne can be reached in approximately 40 minutes, the Mediterranean beaches in under an hour, and Carcassonne Airport is also within easy reach.



A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic estate where heritage, comfort and nature exist in perfect harmony.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
