Character Property in Middle of the Vineyards

Located amongst vineyards, olive groves, and the melodies of cicadas in a protected agricultural zone, this rare estate is positioned at a bend along a vineyard- lined lane in the heart of the Minervois region. It is a tranquil retreat offering a high quality of life, surrounded by Mediterranean scenery, with unobstructed views of the Alaric mountain and the gentle pace of southern life.

Set on roughly 4, 000 sqm of wooded land, this 136 sqm single-storey villa blends seamlessly into its surroundings, complemented by nearly 2.7 hectares of vineyards and olive groves that change with the seasons.

From the entrance, the house impresses with its bright, well- designed layout focused on comfort and practicality. The living spaces include an office, a cosy living room with a sitting area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a pantry/laundry room.

The sleeping quarters are split into two wings. One features three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet; the other is devoted to a luxurious master suite with a dressing room, bedroom, and private bathroom.

The living room extends to a covered terrace shaded by an elegant steel pergola, with a sliding glass door providing a seamless indoor- outdoor connection. On the opposite side, a swimming pool invites relaxation under the Mediterranean sun.

This property is equipped with premium features, including double glazing, high-performance insulation with cellulose wadding and rock wool, fibre-optic internet, a fireplace with an insert and heat distribution, wooden shutters, a garage, a fibreglass swimming pool, and compliant sanitation systems.

What truly distinguishes this estate is its outstanding potential. A 172 sqm wine cellar offers numerous possibilities, and a planning application has been filed to convert the upper floor into a self- contained 60 sqm apartment. Outbuildings include a 42 sqm covered tractor shelter.

Wine lovers can cultivate their own vintages, producing up to 5,000 bottles under their own label, with support from local providers. Horse enthusiasts can adapt the plots for equine use, and the existing structures offer many development options.

Here, time seems to slow, with peace prevailing amid cicada songs, the wind whispering through the vineyards, and the ever- changing hues of the Minervois landscape.

Located just 35 minutes from Carcassonne and its international airport, the estate benefits from nearby village amenities, including a grocery store, a bar, a school, and a school bus service.
