Full Description


An exceptional residence near Béziers. Ten minutes from Béziers, nestled in a wooded setting of over one hectare, entirely enclosed, stands a family estate whose history is etched in every stone. A long ochre façade, a round-arched stone carriage entrance, and a dovecote overlooking the entrance courtyard: the ensemble forms the characteristic silhouette of the grand bourgeois properties of Languedoc. At the heart of the residence, 538 square meters are distributed with a generosity rarely found in contemporary construction. Eleven main rooms, eight bedrooms, a separate caretaker's apartment, and above all, reception rooms that have retained their original décora rarity these days, even in much more expensive properties. The grand living room reveals a Louis Xv carved wooden fireplace surmounted by a painted overmantel, opening onto a decorative cement tile floor that instantly transports you a century back in time. The more intimate billiard room invites you to linger: period woodwork, antique Aubusson-style tapestries, and a trompe-l'oeil painted ceiling adorned with rosettes and friezes. Further on lies the estate's private chapel, entirely preserved: a polychrome marble altar, a barrel vault, and intact original decorationsa place of contemplation that bears witness to a bygone era and that no modern restoration could recreate. In addition to these main rooms, there are 660 square meters of remarkable outbuildings: attics with high ceilings under the rafters, a garage, a workshop, a storage room, and an adjoining kitchen. Considerable potential for those who can bring it to fruitiona family extension, guesthouses, a character residence, or an artist's studio. The park, planted with century-old umbrella pines and pollarded mulberry trees, envelops the house in its Mediterranean freshness. A swimming pool and its paved terrace, facing south, form the perfect natural retreat for Languedoc summers. The location adds to the estate's charm: Béziers and its Tgv station are ten minutes away, the A9 motorway is also close, the beaches of Valras and Sérignan are a quarter of an hour away, and Béziers-Cap d'Agde airport is less than half an hour away. A discreet address, yet perfectly connected. This estate is for those seeking much more than just a house: a place to live with a soul, a story to be told, a legacy to be passed on.
