Les Matelles, Herault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Full Description
HOUSE FOR SALE IN LES MATELLES – 289 SQM MANOR HOUSE – 6 BEDROOMS – 52 SQM TERRACE – GÎTE / GUEST ROOMS
In the heart of the historic centre of Les Matelles, this 1886 manor house offers approximately 289 sqm of habitable space. With its six bedrooms, its 52 sqm terrace with no overlooking neighbours and its spaces that can operate independently, it suits two projects: establishing a large family in a character property or combining a main residence with a guest-room, gîte or holiday-letting business.
Offered at €699,000 including agency fees, this property combines the charm of an old building, contemporary features and a location in the Pic Saint-Loup area, north of Montpellier.
A CHARACTER HOME FOR A LARGE FAMILY
Exposed stone, vaulted ceilings, wooden beams and granito flooring tell the story of the house. The renovation preserves these features while providing the comfort required for family life.
The different levels make it possible to allocate different uses and preserve everyone’s privacy. The six bedrooms can accommodate a large or blended family, provide space for guests or allow one room to be used for working from home.
Upstairs, the living room is arranged around the wood-burning stove. The exposed beams enhance the warm atmosphere of this space. The principal bedroom suite has a renovated shower room, where the old stone complements the contemporary fittings.
The house can therefore remain entirely dedicated to family life, with spaces for spending time together and others for enjoying more private moments.
MAIN RESIDENCE AND GUEST-ROOM PROJECT
The layout of the ground floor and the possibility of independent access make it possible to consider a tourist accommodation project while retaining a private area for the owners.
Depending on the chosen arrangement, certain spaces could accommodate guest rooms, a gîte or a holiday rental such as an Airbnb. These uses remain subject to the feasibility of the project and the applicable authorisations.
The six bedrooms offer valuable flexibility: dedicating part of the house to guests, occasionally accommodating visitors or changing the balance between residential and accommodation use.
The character of the building is an asset for this project. The stone walls, vaulted ceilings and historic volumes give the living room an identity directly linked to the village and its heritage.
A 52 SQM TERRACE WITH NO OVERLOOKING NEIGHBOURS AND A SAUNA
The 52 sqm terrace extends the interior spaces. With no overlooking neighbours, it provides an area for family meals, entertaining friends or arranging a breakfast space for guests.
The wooden decking and vegetation complement this outdoor area, which is particularly appealing in the heart of the historic centre.
A sauna installed in an old grape vat completes the house. This feature preserves a trace of the building’s history and provides a relaxation area for the owners as well as for a potential accommodation project.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
Approximately 289 sqm of habitable space, six bedrooms, a 52 sqm terrace with no overlooking neighbours and the possibility of independent access make this a home adaptable to several lifestyles.
The wood-burning stove, pellet boiler and sauna complement the property’s features. The C energy rating is also an aspect to consider for an old residence of this size.
LES MATELLES: VILLAGE LIFE AND THE PIC SAINT-LOUP SURROUNDINGS
Living in Les Matelles means enjoying a medieval village whose narrow streets, vaulted passageways and ramparts create a living environment shaped by history. The Maison des Consuls, a museum of art and archaeology, contributes to the area’s cultural life.
For families, the commune has a nursery school and a primary school. This makes it possible to consider completing the first years of schooling in the village.
Walks and outdoor activities also form part of everyday life. The Bois de Lèque trail and the “Tour des villages du Pic” route offer hiking departures from Les Matelles. This setting is also of interest to visitors wishing to discover the landscapes of the Grand Pic Saint-Loup.
MONTPELLIER, TGV TRAIN STATIONS AND AIRPORT
Route 608 of the liO Hérault Transport network serves Les Matelles and reaches the Occitanie station in Montpellier, where a connection with the tram allows travellers to continue into the city. This link provides an option for residents’ and visitors’ journeys.
