AB Real Estate
This surprising large Stone House goes back to the the 10th century when it was a part of a hamlet. The place was abandoned in the 18th and became a ruin. In the sixties a passionate mason rebuilt the ruined part and has restored it to its former glory.
The hamlet has a very quiet location and is on the outskirts of a pretty village with basic shops, a bar and a restaurant, only a short drive from Montpellier. This house, partly attached on the north and east, has the best location in the hamlet; it enjoys the sun all day round and is completely private! Whereever you look through a window, you see only the green landscape and the distant mountains. It has kept many original features that add character and charm such as a large stone fireplace, a stone staircase, exposed stonework and beams, several rooms with vaulted ceilings on the ground floor. The already restored part of the ground floor could be used as an independent Gîte. Further 60m2 could be converted in a second independent Gite. With the already existing 4 en-suite bedrooms, there is a very good business potential.
Good value for money with a Triple A location!
