In a central part of the village this converted winery, with its own little tower, offers 430 m2 living space comprising 3 bedrooms, large salon, large kitchen, dining room, office library and multiple utility and work spaces from the cleverly converted original wine vats, a courtyard and small terrace. This light-filled property has been renovated to make use of the space, but has retained its original character.

A number of the original elements from the winery have been incorporated into the renovation, including the use of the beautiful original wine press as support for the hand-commissioned staircase.

A charming octogonal tower and a small terrace overlook a central courtyard.

The house requires refurbishment, but makes excellent use of both space and light.

The wine vats have been opened up to make functional spaces, maximising space and use of the house.

The property could be used in two parts as there is both front and rear access and the heating system has been divided, therefore offering potential to create a gite or apartment for rental.

Rental Potential

The department of Herault is in the Languedoc-Roussillon region located in the south of France. It is surrounded by the Pyrenees-Orientales, Ariege, Tarn and Aude departments.

Widely regarded as possibly the most dynamic department in Languedoc Roussillon with Montpellier as its capital and the popular seaside resorts of Sete and Grande Motte bringing in millions of tourists every summer, the Herault department is certainly busy and growing.

But despite all the activity along the coast, the interior of Herault is as beautiful and unspoiled as it has always been. The Herault countryside is glorious, driving away from the coast into the foothills of the Black Mountains you can get lost in an ocean of vines.

Villages in the department of Herault are incredibly pretty. Roquebrun is stunning, with its bridge and old water mill on the river Orb. St Guilhem-le-Desert is also beautiful - and one of Languedoc's top tourist spots.

Herault is also a favourite of Brits looking to move to the area. Pezenas and Lodeve are both popular towns - Pezenas used to be the region's capital and is becoming quite chic.

In short - the department combines beautiful countryside with the buzz and glamour of a major city (Montpellier).
