Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Lodève, France

Unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated historical Chateau with separate guest house, set in glorious mature gardens with pool while enjoying far reaching countryside views from its location in Lodeve.

This 17th Century property and independent house currently run as a successful bespoke Bed and Breakfast, but can equally well lend itself to private accommodation. The chateau offers six beautifully presented en-suite bedrooms or suites, all enjoying stunning views, together with an independent apartment ideal for owner's accommodation or rental.

The property is set within landscaped gardens of about 350m2 featuring a bespoke heated swimming pool, sun terraces, a covered dining terrace, garage, and an impressive reception and dining space. The main residence is entered via a spectacular triple-height entrance hall with an elegant stone staircase.

A few steps lead to the independent apartment, comprising a cosy living room with wood-burning stove, a fully fitted kitchen opening onto a south-facing terrace with panoramic views, and a double bedroom with en-suite shower room. This space is currently let as a gite.

Two large cellars house laundry facilities and a workshop, while a magnificent stone-vaulted cellar with street access adds further character.

The upper floors accommodate the six en-suite guest bedrooms, finished with understated elegance that highlights exposed stone walls, beams, and traditional tiled floors. One first-floor suite enjoys direct access to the garden and pool area. The Chateau is sold with some furniture.

From the garden, double French doors open into the converted barn, La Grange, an outstanding reception space with high beamed ceilings, travertine floors, pellet burner, contemporary kitchen with marble island, and WC-ideal for guest dining, events, or private entertaining. Additional stone-vaulted cellars lie beneath.

The extensive garage accommodates up to three vehicles and is topped with solar panels. The sale also includes private parking and just over four hectares of non-adjacent woodland.

Adjoining Renovated 3 bedroom Stone Village House

Also included in the sale is a fully independent stone village house, located immediately next door and recently renovated to an extremely high standard. This provides an exceptional opportunity to acquire a turnkey hospitality business alongside a private residence or additional rental property.

Arranged over four levels, the house comprises:

Ground floor: Bespoke kitchen and dining area opening onto a terrace with the same stunning views as the chateau, plus a practical boot room.

First floor: Living room/library with wood-burning stove, bedroom, and WC.

Second floor: Two bedrooms, walk in wardrobe, tiled bathroom, and WC.

The nearby market town of Lodeve offers a full range of amenities, cultural events, and a lively weekly market.
