Full Description
Exclusively, you will discover this atypical property in the heart of a wine village, 15 minutes from Montpellier and 5 minutes from the beaches. A castle in the village center dating from the 12th century, renovated in the 18th century, as evidenced by the splendid door that reveals a spiral staircase serving the central 4-meter-diameter tower, the two floors down to the solarium, which leaves you spellbound by the view of the Gardiole massif to the sea. We overlook the village church with its 12th-century bell tower. The plot measures 1,350 square meters. The owner fell in love at the first visit, and for decades his family has marveled at the 600 square meters of living space renovated. All rooms are spacious and enjoy very high ceilings. The 80-square-meter reception area is enhanced by a mezzanine leading to the upstairs bedrooms, and the lower level already houses 3 bedrooms, an office, a vestibule library, and 2 bathrooms. An independent apartment with 2 additional bedrooms and private access completes the property. Attic, vaulted cellars with bread oven, lofts, turrets with dovecotes, wells, and century-old fig trees immerse us in the history of this magical place. The property offers great possibilities for personal or professional use. The castle has been maintained, the roof redone, the windows are aluminum, and the reception room arches have been preserved. There is an period fireplace and a cast-iron radiator. A refresh is of course to be expected, with the additional possibility of converting the top floor’s 150 m². A project for guest rooms seems ideal in this place, with parking, a garage, and a quiet, no-opposite view, in the heart of the village. Dossier available on request.
