Property Description
Tucked within one of the region’s most enchanting villages, this beautifully renovated former winegrower’s house offers the best of both worlds. Behind its traditional stone façade lies a home full of warmth, light and timeless charm, which combines historic character with modern luxury, stylish interiors and all the comforts of Mediterranean living.
The home is ideal for entertaining; a bright and inviting kitchen/dining space invites long, relaxed meals with family and friends, and opens up to the spacious salon, with its wood-burning stove and striking marble fireplace, becoming the perfect place to gather on cosy winter evenings.
It features four spacious bedrooms, including a stunning loft-style master bedroom suite of 68m2 with soaring ceilings and exposed original beams, creating a dramatic and yet serene retreat. There are four elegant bathrooms, some with roll-top baths, and each finished to a high standard, combining comfort with timeless charm.
Outside, the property features generous space over three levels including a swimming pool, garden room, dining/bbq area and a terrace with views of the village and the Pyrenees, perfect for evening ‘sundowners’.
Life in the medieval village of Caunes-Minervois is enchanting. The village is famous for its Red marble (as used in the Chateau de Versailles), its ancient Abbey, a vibrant arts scene and the annual music festival. Several restaurants, bars and local commerces can all be found within walking distance. Caunes-Minervois offers a wealth of local activities, from hiking and wall/rock climbing to wine tasting and marble quarry safaris. Ideally located, the property is only 25 mins drive from Carcassonne, with its international airport and Unesco listed castle. Narbonne, with its TGV station and Mediterranean beaches, can be reached in 50 mins.
