Property Description
Handsome villa perched on a south facing slope in a hamlet close to the famous village of Minerve, offering 130m² of habitable space comprising 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, several terraces and a basement, set in a wooded plot of 4700 m², with a large fenced-in garden, a private pool and breathtaking views across the plains to the Corbieres mountains and the Pyrenees.
This 2-storey house was built in 1977 and was originally intended as a holiday property. It has since been sympathetically extended into an all-year-round home with modern heating and cooling systems.
The house is accessed via a driveway behind high wrought iron gates. Enter through a front porch, onto a large sitting room with a wood burning stove and glazed sliding doors that open onto a south facing balcony with views. From the sitting room, French doors lead into a large open plan kitchen/dining room with a stone fireplace with insert. Two large windows afford light and stunning views. A stone staircase to the side of the room divides the kitchen and the dining room and leads up to the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and built in wardrobe.
An archway from the kitchen/diner opens onto a corridor leading to 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate guest Wc. Glazed doors from the kitchen lead onto a large, covered terrace with stunning views, perfect for alfresco entertainment. At the front of the terrace are gated steps that lead to a basement/cave underneath the house. Here, there is a laundry room and plenty of space for tools and storage of garden equipment. To the side of the terrace, steps lead onto a beautiful wooden deck for sunbathing, relaxing or quiet contemplation of the views. There is ample parking to the front of the house.
The villa is surrounded by its own woodland and garden which includes a small olive grove with centuries old trees. Behind the parking area, on a slightly raised level, there is a private pool and stone patio built on the flat bedrock above the house.
This villa is in excellent condition, fully furnished and ready to move into. This is an exceptionally tranquil environment yet only 6 kms from the large town of Olonzac which has all amenities and commerce. Due to the protected status of the area where the property is situated, no more building permits can be issued, ensuring ongoing peace and natural surroundings as they are today.
