Vacation rental home in the Languedoc with pool & courtyard

Introduction

This period property lies in secluded beauty, truly in the heart of the Languedoc vineyards.

Dating back to 1765, the house (part of a former wine domain) was once owned by the nephew of Toulouse Lautrec.

The house offers traditional French country living in a rustic style with all amenities in the nearby village of Coursan.

Many original features are evident in the restored property; exposed stone walls, huge beams and large floor-to-ceiling open fireplace.

4 bedrooms, two bathrooms and spacious living room and separate dining area.

Farmhouse-style kitchen with dishwasher and breakfast console leads out to two separate courtyards, one with table and chairs and BBQ.

Huge, private courtyard garden (approx 600m²) is an ideal playground for children to let off steam and play without upsetting neighbours.

Large pool 12 x 5m with large stone sun terrace.
Poolside table and chairs for late evening dining.

Table tennis.

Fantastic views from the property overlooking endless vineyards and tree-lined paths and tracks.

Local village of Coursan (3 km) has all manner of restaurants, cafés and bars. All shops and large supermarket.

Take the little-known shortcut through the vines and small villages to the glorious Mediterranean coastline (15 mins) with its choice of lively, resort-style beaches or quieter stretches of sand. All super child-friendly.

Many waterside restaurants and cafés. Imposing views of the Pyrenees.

Local Information

The property is located 3 km from the busy village of Coursan, between Béziers and Narbonne, 15 mins from the Mediterranean coast.

The property lies in a secluded location, along a single-lane road that is surrounded by vineyards. The house is part of an old wine domain, but is detached with private grounds.

Coursan has all amenities, including large supermarket, bakery, newsagent, chemist, café bars and several restaurants.

Famous Languedoc vineyards surround the area and lead down to the beautiful Mediterranean coast only 15 mins away. Choose from lively, resort-style beaches or quiet and secluded sandy stretches. Plenty of waterside cafés and restaurants and all water sports are catered for. Fantastic, beachside, traditional market during the summer months.

Lovely walks all around the property, through the vineyards and along the lanes. Possibly the best walk (or bike ride) is along the nearby, shaded tow-path of the Canal du Midi. Many canal-side respites serving chilled rosé wine with BBQ lunches.

Endless opportunities for wine tasting and a huge choice of fabulous restaurants in the area.

Hypermarkets and excellent shopping in both Béziers and Narbonne. Cultural events and traditional markets.
