This gorgeous double-fronted 'maison de vigneron', rich in character and thoughtfully renovated, is ideally located in the sought-after village of Caunes-Minervois. Built around 1840, the house is filled with original features, including tall windows, exposed beams, marble fireplaces and a lovely stone staircase.
The outdoor space offers a delightful 30m2 private courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining, from where stairs lead up to the sunny 75m2 pool terrace and summer studio. The L-shaped 6x3.5m pool has a new liner, guaranteed for 20 years. The summer studio offers a cool retreat from the summer heat. A further 50m2 terrace with a shady pergola is the perfect spot for relaxing with a sundowner.
As you enter through the double front door, a hallway leads you into the stylish open-plan fully-fitted kitchen and dining room, which open onto the courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The elegant living room benefits from a woodburner and fireplace in the famous local Caunes marble. From the kitchen, a rear hallway takes you to a roomy ground-floor bathroom with shower, basin and wc, and into the 36m2 workshop.
The first floor landing opens onto a pretty wrought-iron Juliet balcony, overlooking the valley opposite. From the landing, you find three sun-filled double bedrooms, all beautifully decorated to retain their original charm. One of the bedrooms has a cute ensuite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, and there is a family bathroom with freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, basin and wc. There is also a useful linen cupboard on the landing.
A stone staircase takes you up to the second floor and the pièce de résistance – the 80m2 master suite with high beamed ceilings, original quarry-tiled floors, and a pellet stove for the cool winter evenings. With windows on both sides, this room is flooded with light, and exudes elegant comfort, with a spacious open-plan living area and bedroom. The luxurious ensuite bathroom boasts a freestanding bathtub, shower, basin with vanity unit, and wc.
Perfectly suited for a permanent residence, or a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, this property offers all the allure of life in the south of France, with every modern comfort, including high-speed fibre internet. There is plenty of on-street parking.
Caunes-Minervois, with a population of 1800, lies 30 minutes east of the unesco world heritage cité of Carcassonne, and the Canal du Midi. Caunes has excellent amenities: Grocery store and master butcher, bakery, pharmacy, hairdresser, florist, 2 doctors surgeries, and atm; and several good restaurants, cafés and bars. It is well-known for its art galleries, potteries, regular exhibitions, and annual music festival. There's also a small weekly market.
Good transport connections make this an easy area to access: Carcassonne airport is 30 minutes, Béziers airport 1 hour, Toulouse airport 1.5 hours, and tgv stations in Narbonne and Carcassonne. Barcelona is only 3 hours' drive.
The beaches of the Mediterranean are 45 minutes away, and the Pyrenees are 1.5 hours. The hills of the Montagne Noire behind Caunes offer endless opportunities for hiking, cycling and enjoying nature.
