Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Bédarieux, France

A47099RAB34 - A rare opportunity to acquire an elegant and spacious villa in an exceptional setting, with breathtaking panoramic views, extensive private grounds and an infinity pool.
Set in the picturesque village of Carlencas-et-Levas, this beautifully presented property offers approximately 290m² of living space on a private plot of 5938m². Its outstanding feature is undoubtedly the view. Facing south, the extensive terrace and many of the principal rooms look across an extraordinary panorama encompassing the Caroux mountains and the Orb valley. The outlook is quite simply breathtaking.

Built in 1997, the villa is in good condition and combines generous proportions and elegant interiors with a range of modern conveniences. It is approached by a private driveway, with ample parking and a double garage. The house is private and not overlooked, while the mature gardens, with established trees, provide an attractive and relatively low-maintenance setting. There is also considerable scope for further landscaping if desired.

Ground floor
The impressive entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with its marble floor and sweeping staircase creating an elegant first impression. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the principal living areas.
The fully fitted kitchen has direct access to the large south-facing terrace, which wraps around two sides of the property. This is an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply sitting and enjoying the extraordinary panorama.
The large, light-filled, double-aspect living room has two sets of French doors opening directly onto the terrace. An archway leads through to a spacious dining area, creating a series of gracious and well-proportioned reception spaces which work particularly well together.

Also on this floor are three bedrooms. Two share a shower room and benefit from access to the terrace, making this an ideal guest or family suite. There is also a small study/storage room and a separate WC on this floor.
Direct access from the hallway to the double garage and utility room add to the practicality of the property.

Off the garage there is also a large additional reception room with independent access to the garden. This versatile space could be used as a home office, studio, games room or workspace for a professional requiring a separate area for their business.

First floor
A generous landing leads to the 3 good sized bedrooms. The impressive double-aspect master bedroom enjoys the views and has two separate dressing rooms. Its luxurious marble bathroom is particularly spacious and features a walk-in shower, roll-top bath, marble basin and WC. There are 2 further bedrooms, one with its own ensuite shower room, while a separate laundry room completes the accommodation on this level.

Outside
The extensive south-facing terrace is one of the property's greatest assets. Partly covered, it provides both shade and open areas for enjoying the sunshine and spectacular views throughout the day.

The attractive infinity salt pool is surrounded by generous terraces and several seating areas, creating a wonderful private environment for relaxing and entertaining. The pool and terrace are perfectly positioned to make the most of the panoramic mountain and valley views.

The grounds extend to approximately 5938m² and contain numerous mature trees and established planting. They are relatively easy to maintain but offer plenty of potential for a new owner to develop further areas of the garden according to their needs.

Carlencas-et-Levas is a peaceful and attractive village set amongst the beautiful countryside of the Haut-Languedoc. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is only approximately 8km from Bédarieux, where there are schools, shops, restaurants, a cinema, railway station, medical facilities and other everyday amenities.
The location is particularly well placed for enjoying the many attractions of the region. The thermal baths and golf course at Lamalou-les-Bains are approximately 20 minutes away, while Clermont-l'Hérault and Lac du Salagou are also around 20 minutes by car. The River Orb, with opportunities for canoeing and other water-based activities, is close by.

Béziers is approximately 43km away and Montpellier around 68km, while the Mediterranean coast can be reached in approximately one hour.

The property benefits from a comprehensive range of modern features, including:
Gas-fired underfloor heating
Air conditioning throughout
Double glazing
Water softener
Centralised music system
Centralised vacuum system
Double garage
Infinity salt-water swimming pool
Extensive private parking

This is a substantial and elegant home offering extensive living accommodation in a stunning and peaceful setting. It would make an excellent permanent family residence, but its generous accommodation, privacy, pool and exceptional location also offer attractive possibilities as a holiday home with rental potential.
The house has been designed to make the very most of its extraordinary surroundings, with the view forming an integral part of everyday life.
A stunning setting, a peaceful community, an elegant and comfortable home and one of those views that simply takes your breath away. Properties offering this combination are exceptionally rare and this villa really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
