Stone house : independent guest room, garage and gardenviews

... Hérault département and the Languedoc-Occitanie region! The property is located in the center of a small picturesque municipality where time seems to have stood still and which is set amidst a beautiful, wooded varied Mediterranean hilly landscape. The municipality boasts monumental 12th-century buildings such as the restored castle and church. Besides a campsite, a few wineries and other small businesses, one will find a fine atmosphere in this community. Numerous walks and cycling tours can be started from the house. Nearby are several (market) towns such as : Gabian, Roujan, Clermont l'Hérault, Lamalou les Bains, Bédarieux, Faugères and Pézenas. The major cities of Béziers and sparkling Montpellier, each with their own High Speed Train station and international airport, are at a 45-55 minutes' drive away. The shores of the beautiful "Lac de Salagou" are about 20 kilometers away and the Mediterranean beaches about 45 kilometers away. In this property one can feel the charm of a rich past which is emphasized by many original details such as the natural stone facade, old doors, beams, cement tiles, terracotta floor tiles and others. One of the cellars still houses the former wine vats and the independent guest room with en-suite bathroom once used to be the village grocery store: “ talking about a surprising property ”! In recent years, much of the property has been restored using contemporary techniques to provide nowadays comfort. The roof was renewed in 2013 and since then there have been numerous improvements regarding insulation, electricity, sanitary facilities and the kitchen. The house is connected to the fiber-optic network, and the Invicta cast-iron wood-burning stove completes the renovation. The total built area exceeds 200 m², and the 87.5 m² of habitable space is divided between 64.7 m² for the main house (with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a dining room, a toilet and a bathroom) and 22.8 m² for the guest room with its own entrance and bathroom. In addition to the terraces, garage and storage space, there is also potential for creating additional living space: for example, it would be relatively easy to create a gîte or workshop in the cellar on the ground floor. In authentic villages, it's usually very rare to be able to park several vehicles on private land, but here one can choose between private indoor- or outdoor parking. As an added bonus, there's a pretty garden with a wooden deck terrace, a lawn, a mulberry tree, mimosas and two palm trees. Views of the surrounding wooded hills and the village church add to the sense of well-being one experiences here. Thanks to its Mediterranean vegetation, it remains relatively easy to maintain. The garden is flat and fenced, served by mains water and electricity, and lends itself well to the construction of a swimming pool. The house is very suitable for a permanent stay in the South of France. Due to its charm, its composition, its privileged setting and its still-to-be-developed potential, numerous other uses are also conceivable.
