MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES ! Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Marseillette, just a short stroll from the UNESCO-listed Canal du Midi, this remarkable character manor house offers over 13 rooms and 8 bedrooms, combining timeless elegance, generous living space and exceptional potential.
A rare opportunity, the property is perfectly suited as a prestigious primary residence, luxurious holiday home, impressive family estate, boutique guest house, boutique hotel or wine tourism venture (subject to permissions) in one of Southern France's most desirable regions.
Behind its elegant façade lies a wealth of beautifully preserved original features, including a magnificent stone staircase, soaring ceilings, ornate period mouldings, original encaustic cement tiles, authentic wooden floors and wonderfully light-filled reception rooms.
Extensive restoration work has already been undertaken with great respect for the property's architectural heritage. All windows and external joinery have been replaced with bespoke double-glazed chestnut frames, handcrafted by a master artisan joiner to preserve the building's original character. A recently installed air-conditioning system provides modern comfort throughout the principal reception rooms.
Once the air-conditioning installation has been fully completed, the property is expected to achieve an impressive Energy Performance Certificate (DPE) rating of B—an exceptionally rare distinction for a historic residence of this calibre. A pellet-burning stove, currently being installed in the main living room, will further enhance both comfort and energy efficiency. Throughout the renovation, the property's remarkable architectural details have been carefully preserved.
With some additional improvements, the future owner will have the opportunity to unveil the full splendour of this magnificent manor house.
This exceptional home will appeal to discerning buyers seeking an elegant historic residence, families looking for a prestigious home in France, or investors wishing to develop a high-end hospitality business in a thriving tourist destination.
Ideally located between vineyards, rolling countryside and historic landmarks, the property is only 18 minutes from Carcassonne, 40 minutes from Narbonne, 45 minutes from the Mediterranean beaches, and within easy reach of the airports of Carcassonne, Béziers, Toulouse and Perpignan, making it highly accessible for both French and international owners and guests.
Historic manor houses of this quality, retaining so many authentic period features while already benefiting from substantial restoration, have become increasingly difficult to find.
A truly elegant home, rich in character, history and potential, offering the unique opportunity to continue the restoration of an exceptional French heritage property.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, atmosphere and remarkable potential of this unique residence.
