About this property
5 Bedroom 4 Bathroom Village "Maison de Maitre" with Private Pool & Garden
Renovated Maison de Maitre near the centre of a picturesque village in the Cathar region of Languedoc, midway between Carcassonne, Beziers and Narbonne, with patio, private swimming pool and large secluded garden with children's swing and slide. The village has its own shop/cafe. Bank, post office, chemist can be found in nearby village of Ginestas 5 minutes away. Nearest supermarkets are 10 minutes drive. Beautiful views from top of house over vineyards towards the Montagne Noire. Undulating countryside ideal for walks and cycling. There are many local restaurants in the vicinity, and a small "epicerie" (general store) in the village. The house is a high-ceilinged characterful property built in the 1870s. Its thick stone walls ensures that it stays relatively cool in the heat. There are electric fans in every room but no air-conditioning. This is a much-loved family home rather than a purpose-built holiday villa; hence some of the furniture and fittings are well-used. It has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, a large living/dining room and a separate TV room with Broadband WiFi and UK Freeview TV/Netflix etc. The renovated kitchen is fully equipped and gives on to the patio, pergola and swimming pool. The large garden ensures privacy and there are vineyards to the rear. The picturesque Canal du Midi is 3 kms away. Historic Narbonne is 25 mins and the nearest beaches 45 mins.

About the host
Hosted by Robert Gordon
My wife and I live in Wiltshire; we've had a holiday home in France for over thirty years,. In 2010 we decided to move to the Languedoc region, as we love the 300 days of sunshine per year and the proximity to the sea. As we're keen on the Mediterranean climate and vegetation, we've stocked the garden with olives, cypresses, umbrella pines and mulberries (for shade). The village is extremely friendly and our neighbours have quickly made us feel at home. The village has an international feel as quite a few Brits, Belgians, Americans, Canadians and Aussies live there full-time. One of favourite past-times is to visit the covered market in Narbonne where the local produce is incredibly fresh!
Why they chose this property
Having travelled through this region many times on our way to Spain, we have decided it offers everything we could want: a warm climate where the wind helps to keep the summer heat at bay, a wide blue sky and those wonderful Mediterranean aromatic herbs underfoot. We've fallen in love with the rolling hills of vineyards with vistas stretching towards the Pyrenees. We particularly wanted to be part of a French village life, and there is just the right blend of friendly locals and well-integrated foreign residents. Unlike some of the villages on the nearby Canal du Midi, this one is not overrun with tourists in the summer months. A short drive takes you to the picturesque resorts of Collioure and Banyuls, and Spain is only an hour away.
What makes this property unique
The local "epicerie" - just 100 metres down the road in the village square - sells fresh bread and croissants/pains au chocolate from 08.00 (closed Mondays) and also stocks other basics. Other supplies are within a few minutes drive. We like the privacy afforded by the large garden behind the house, as well as the vineyard beyond. For those who like water sports, there are ample oportunities to canoe/kayak in the local rivers or to wind-surf or kite-surf in the lagoons beyond Narbonne. Cycling or barge-renting along the nearby Canal du Midi is also popular.
