Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Magalas, France

Ref. MAGCIT - Malagas is a vibrant and attractive village just 15 km north of Béziers, 25 km from the Mediterranean, and close to the foothills of the Montagne Noire and the Cévennes; a paradise for outdoor types with a wealth of hiking and kayaking opportunities in the heart of breathtaking scenery.

We present a beautifully preserved centuries-old village house; an opportunity to own a piece of French history. It retains authentic architectural details, timeless elegance, and a great location in this beautiful region. This property is a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern potential.

The main entrance is set back from the main road. Up a couple of stone steps, the front door opens to small hallway with an adjacent shower room and WC.

Up a few more steps you will find a striking and very pleasant surprise; currently a games room, this sitting area is a blend of grandeur and elegance. Crowned by a vaulted stone ceiling, its arches and ribs give a true sense of architectural mastery.

The room’s scale suggests it could transform into a gorgeous drawing room, a dining area, or an inspiring art studio. The volume of the space invites endless possibilities.

Up a further half level is the first of three bedrooms. A quiet room that is separate from the busier areas of the house.

The next level is where you'll find a modern kitchen fully equipped with cupboards and storage space. Also on this level is the spacious, high-ceiling sitting room and dining area. A comfortable space for a large family and entertaining. There’s a wood burning stove insert and a discrete air-conditioning unit, making the room comfortable no matter what the season.

Next level up are two generously sized bedrooms; comfortable, spacious and light. Each bedroom has fitted cupboards providing lots of storage space. Also on this floor is a bathroom and WC.

Then there is what you may consider to be the piéce de résistance - with views across the roof tops to the vineyards - a big, but private roof terrace. A reminder that you are in the heart of wine country.

If you are a history enthusiast who appreciates architecture and looking for a character property with modern comforts, we would urge an early viewing.
