Introduction

Lovely, characterful, traditional 19th century wine domaine set in two hectares of private grounds, 10 minutes from Béziers.

The property has been in the current owner’s family since 1816 and was formerly a large, wine-making domaine. It was rebuilt at the turn of the last century in the style of an Italian, Tuscan villa, together with the extensive outbuildings (wine cave, stables etc) required for the wine making.

Spacious accommodation over three floors with kitchen and breakfast room, dining room, hallway and reception rooms, TV room, main living room opening to dining terrace and pool area.

Wi-Fi throughout the property and pool area.

Lovely outside space with two hectares of private grounds bordering a further 40 hectares of open countryside.

Well-maintained, extensive lawned garden ideal for children's games.

Pool area is completely private and conveniently situated along-side the dining terrace. Private pool 13m x 5m with two shallow ends and deeper centre - great for pool volleyball and water polo; nets provided.

Private, gated parking. The opposite side of the large courtyard has two private houses which in no way interferes with the privacy of the garden and terrace and pool.

A selection of excellent, local wines will be waiting for you on arrival.

Local, English-speaking house-manager can offer catering services and grocery shopping prior to arrival. Cooking classes and wine tours also!

The château is situated two minutes drive from the village of Maureilhan, 10 minutes from Béziers, 20 minutes from the Mediterranean coast and almost midway between Carcassonne and Montpellier.

All amenities in the village.

Further amenities in the charming, canal-side town of Capestang, less than 10 minutes.

Plenty of restaurants and wine-producers in the region.

Excellent Mediterranean beaches at Vendres, Sérignan and Valras-Plage.

Full or part catering services upon request. Anne, the English speaking house manager can offer to stock the fridge to avoid the hassle of grocery shopping on the first day and / or prepare simple or more elaborate meals during the stay and / or to organize cooking classes. Anne can also help organizing activities. Details and rates upon request.

Finlayson (Aug2022)
The space, the history and beauty of the surroundings. The swimming pool. The range of children's toys. The bedroom arrangements in the house that was perfect for 4 families. Maps and leaflets of things to do in the locality. The fans in rooms upstairs etc etc. In all we are sad to leave!

Bolshaw family (2017)
We enjoyed the house, pool and garden. We took a private boar charter on the canal. We visited restaurants and enjoyed using the 'running track' around the garden.
