Manor House 289 m² Terrace 52 m² Sauna 6 Bedrooms Historic Centre Les Matelles Pic Saint-Lou

Property Description

Prestigious house Historic charm Stone & Granito Pic Saint-Loup Terrace Jacuzzi Sauna 6 BEDROOMS

This mansion from 1886 has 289 m2 of living space in the heart of the historic center of Les Matelles, in a quiet alley, 20 minutes from the historic center of Montpellier (Arceaux district) and about 30 minutes from Montpellier Mediterranean airport. Completely renovated under the control of the Bâtiments de France, it retains the markers of the old building, with stone, terrazzo, terracotta tiles, beams and mouldings, while integrating current services.

Are you looking for a house of character in the Pic Saint-Loup sector, with large volumes and a real 'multiple project' logic? This property ticks two rare boxes: a comfortable main house and volumes that can be used for professional or rental use, thanks to a natural organization by levels.

THE VISIT

On the ground floor, the visit opens onto a bright living room of 37 m2, designed as a friendly and easy-going space. It opens directly onto an intimate terrace of 52 m2, out of sight, ready to accommodate a jacuzzi and a summer kitchen. This terrace provides a real exterior, which is unusual in the middle of the medieval centre.

Also on this level, three bedrooms allow for real modularity: guest rooms, offices, reception areas, or rooms dedicated to an activity. A vaulted shower room reinforces the character of the place. The sauna, set up in an old grape vat, adds a singular wellness area, consistent with the winemaking history of the Matelles.

Upstairs, you will find a second living space structured around a living room with wood stove. The equipped kitchen fits in in with a sober and functional spirit. The master suite has its dressing room, bathroom and balcony. Two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom complete this level.

This organization in two distinct levels makes the house legible, practical and scalable according to your project.

PRIVATE / RESIDENTIAL LIFE

The first floor is a real autonomous residential space. You live there with a living room, an equipped kitchen, a master suite, two bedrooms and an additional bathroom. It works as a complete dwelling, comfortable on a daily basis, with a natural separation between privacy and what can be exploited downstairs.

This is a strong point if you want to preserve your privacy while developing a complementary use on the ground floor. And if your project remains exclusively family-oriented, the house offers 6 bedrooms and rare volumes in the old center of Les Matelles.

EXPLOITABLE VOLUMES / ACTIVITY

The ground floor opens up a clear scenario: to exploit the lower part, while keeping the first floor as a residential dwelling.

The lower part can be offered as a rental gîte or seasonal rental, with a living room of 37 m2, three bedrooms, a shower room and a real differentiating 'plus' thanks to the sauna. The 52 m2 terrace becomes a direct asset for rental, especially if you install a jacuzzi and a summer kitchen.

Another scenario: liberal activity, independent office, cabinet, artist's studio. The volumes, the stone, the vaults and the identity of the place create a different setting from the classic premises, with the possibility of organising a customer reception downstairs, while maintaining complete privacy upstairs.

Finally, the mixed housing + professional project takes on its full meaning here: you live above, you work or operate below, you reduce your travel and you structure a clear separation between the two uses.
