REDUCED in price - In a central part of the village this converted winery, with its own little tower, offers 430 m2 living space comprising 3 bedrooms, large salon, large kitchen, dining room, office library and multiple utility and work spaces from the cleverly converted original wine vats, a courtyard and small terrace. This light-filled property has been renovated to make use of the space, but has retained its original character.
- Location: Pretty winegrowers village in the Minervois, with bar/restaurant, bakery, at 10 minutes from Olonzac, 25 minutes from Carcassonne, 45 minutes from Narbonne, and less than an hour from beaches and Beziers (airport).
A number of the original elements from the winery have been incorporated into the renovation, including the use of the beautiful original wine press as support for the hand-commissioned staircase. A charming octogonal tower and a small terrace overlook a central courtyard. The house requires refurbishment, but makes excellent use of both space and light. The wine vats have been opened up to make functional spaces, maximising space and use of the house. The property could be used in two parts as there is both front and rear access and the heating system has been divided, therefore offering potential to create a gite or apartment for rental.
