Magnificent Genuine 19th Century Maison De Maitre with 9 En-Suite Bedrooms Plus …

Property Description

Built in 1812 this genuine Maison de Maître is located in the heart of a charming village with all amenities in the greater Béziers area, Languedoc Roussillon, Occitanie, South of France. This property is just simply exceptional because of its quiet location in the centre of a village and its large, private grounds. All of the original features are in very good condition and it offers high ceilings, large volumes and bright rooms. Last but not least this particular property is unique as it is much older than usually Maison de Maître’s are towards the end of the 19th Century. Recent renovation works have been carried out with care preserving the character whilst equipping the house with modern comforts. The charming outbuildings have been entirely renovated in the recent years into 2 fully equipped guest houses, increasing the business potential that would lend itself perfectly as a B&B, gite and events property. The mature trees and exposed stone walls give the property a very special charm and feeling - a real haven of peace. From the 2nd floor there are beautiful views on the countryside and village roofs. Only a visit can allow you to appreciate the true beauty and potential of this rare property!Description of the buildings
