Let's take the small road just before the hamlet of Biot, skirt the first field that borders the stream and there we are! There, a property like a manor house stands before our eyes! We were immediately captivated by its unusual architecture, which reflects the style of the manor houses built by the lords of the mountains.
A massive wrought iron gate sets the tone, and we enter to find ourselves facing the main dwelling between the two square towers! One of these was a two-storey chapel, measuring 32m2, while the other, of the same dimensions, was a defensive tower, a powerful reminder of this region, which still bears the scars of the Wars of Religion.
The 3-storey house now has 145m2 of living space and 76m2 of attic space that could be converted.
Enter from the front terrace and its well-sheltered pergola with its wisteria. The ground floor comprises a 24m2 kitchen-dining room, a lounge of the same size, a 21m2 utility room, storage areas and a toilet. These main rooms open onto the terrace at the front. The first floor houses a beautiful 21m2 bedroom opening onto a large side terrace of the same size, a bathroom with separate toilet, a second 20m2 bedroom with another 13m2 room in a row, from which a staircase leads to the vast 77m2 attic.
On the kitchen side of the ground floor, an entrance hatch gives access to the garages or sheds on the east wing, where 3 spaces of 36,26 and 21 m2 with a good height of more than 4 m provide storage and garage space if required.
On the outbuildings side, a magnificent 2-storey stone barn with a superb roof structure will enable you to carry out a wide range of conversions to suit your project. This bonus of 267m2 is definitely worth considering!
Finally, a little further on is a 240m2 former sheepfold.
This unique property is just waiting to be given a second lease of life after renovation and will be the ideal place to live out your dream in the south of France, in our beautiful Occitanie region.
Location :
Fontrieu is a village in the Hautes Terres d'Oc region, an area of livestock farming with deep-rooted rural traditions. It is an essential stop-off point in your quest for unspoilt nature.
Just 5 minutes from Brassac, a town on the River Agoût, you'll find yourself in the heart of a vibrant natural environment. This little Sidobre town has a remarkable two-arched bridge and châteaux. But Brassac is also ideally situated in the heart of the Haut Languedoc Regional Nature Park: From here, the mid-range mountains are yours for the taking.
The historic heart of the village stretches along both sides of the river, linked by the old bridge, a listed historic monument. On each bank a medieval castle has stood the test of time.
This geographical location, so popular with nature lovers and lovers of peace and quiet, is a valuable asset in this region of Occitanie. In fact, the richness of its environment means you can enjoy a change of scenery, take part in a wide range of outdoor activities or simply recharge your batteries in a calm and pleasant atmosphere.
The nearby lakes of Saint Peyres, Raviège (covering 438 hectares) and Laouzas (covering 335 hectares) will delight both experienced and novice anglers, and offer the fresh water pleasures so popular with holidaymakers.
Castres is just 30 minutes away (sncf station and airport); Béziers, Carcassonne and Toulouse are an hour and a half away (tgv station and airport).
