MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Magnificent Manor House with Extensive Barns, Walled Gardens and Pool in the Heart of the Minervois
Occupying a commanding position at the centre of a vibrant Minervois village, this impressive stone Maison de Maître offers an exceptional combination of elegance, character and opportunity. Flanked on either side by vast two-storey barns providing almost 1,000 m² of additional space, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial village residence with enormous potential for further development, hospitality ventures, workshops, garaging or storage.
The village itself is particularly sought-after, with a lively year-round community, a primary school, local wine businesses, a general store and a popular restaurant all within easy walking distance. Surrounded by vineyards and enjoying the Mediterranean climate for which the region is renowned, the property is ideally located less than an hour from the Mediterranean coast, approximately 30 minutes from Carcassonne Airport and 40 minutes from the TGV station at Narbonne.
The house is arranged over three floors and retains many of the architectural features associated with grand French residences of the period. The ground floor is centred around an elegant, high-ceilinged entrance hall that traverses the property from front to back, opening directly onto the garden beyond. This level comprises a spacious kitchen, two generous reception rooms including a formal dining room, a ground-floor bedroom and a wheelchair-friendly bathroom with separate WC. Direct access is also provided to the substantial barns on either side of the house.
A sweeping staircase rises to the first floor, where a wide and elegant landing serves four impressive bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en suite bathroom. This level also provides direct access to the upper floors of both barns, creating exciting possibilities for further accommodation or alternative uses, subject to the necessary permissions.
The second floor offers three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom and extensive storage space, making the property equally suited to large family living or hospitality projects.
Outside, the grounds are a particular highlight. Fully enclosed by high stone walls, the gardens offer an exceptional degree of privacy and tranquillity. Mature trees and established planting create a beautiful setting, while a charming guardian's cottage has been transformed into an ideal summer kitchen with a covered terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining beside the swimming pool.
The gardens are thoughtfully arranged into several distinct areas. Adjacent to the house, a gravelled terrace provides an elegant outdoor reception space, with a large gate allowing vehicle access to the rear of the property. Beyond lies a generous lawned garden featuring two wells, a recently installed swimming pool, flowering Mediterranean shrubs and a variety of fruit trees.
Whether as an impressive private residence, a boutique guesthouse, luxury chambres d'hôtes, event venue or multi-generational family home, this remarkable property combines grandeur, flexibility and lifestyle in one of the most desirable areas of Southern France.
A rare opportunity to acquire a landmark property with exceptional potential in the heart of the Minervois.
