About this property

Beautifully Renovated Famous House.Heated Pool.Enclosed Grounds.Beaches & Midi

This beautiful old wine makers house which overlooks vineyards, is a charming spacious property. Peaceful Location on the edge of a Village, close to the Canal du Midi and local amenities. It has been sympathetically renovated, losing none of its character. Furnished to a high standard in traditional french style, using some of the original pieces of furniture. It is situated in the attractive wine-producing village of St. Marcel, close to Narbonne and glorious Mediterranean beaches (25 minutes). The house is very well equipped, a home away from home.It has been featured in '25 Beautiful Homes Magazine' May 2014 where it was also considered good enough for the front cover picture.
It has also featured on BBC TV and in the Times newspaper when a long lost love letter was discovered tucked into the cushions of an old chair that was being reupholstered. It had been there for nearly 200 years.
The house is very large and easily copes with maximum occupancy and outside there is also plenty of space. The pool area is nicely segregated from the rest of the garden providing an oasis of calm surrounded by lavender and other vibrant plants. Later in the year you can even pick figs.
The grounds of 1 hectare are totally secure and provide plenty of shade for children to run around or adults to chill out.
During the high season, most meals will be taken outside on the large terrace where the big gas BBQ with cope with the task easily.
Should you wish the kitchen has a great range cooker and the dining room seats 10 comfortably and overlooks the terrace. There are two large fridges, one labelled Food the other Drinks!
Next to the dining room is the day room with satellite TV, DVD player and Ipod dock are all available and a second TV/DVD player is available in the separate sitting room allowing more choice of entertainment.

Why they chose this property

Having started in Provence and finding it too touristy we moved to the next department of Languedoc which has all the charm but is still very French. The area is dominated by the Canal du Midi and the vast vineyards. It is less crowded than its neighbour and eating out is a pleasure both in terms of quality and price. Menus are also incredibly varied.
It is a fantastic are to tour with less traffic but many interesting places from the world famous Carcassonne to a fabulous local artists village of Someil nestling on the banks of the Midi.
Beaches are just 20 minutes drive away.

What makes this property unique

Whilst the property is on the edge of the village and just 5 minutes walk to the local bakery it is totally private as the aspect is over vineyards towards the river Aude.
The grounds of around 1 hectare are totally secure with many large trees offering shade and a lovely heated pool positioned in a secluded area close to the house and surrounded by lavender and an ancient olive tree.
Supermarkets are within a few minutes drive and you can walk or cycle from the property to many local beauty spots and even take a dip in the mountain fed river Cesse.
