About this place
Set within a tranquil rural location, this extraordinary property was originally a 13th-century sheepfold, enhanced by a striking tall tower added in the 20th century. The main house, encompassing approximately 210 m², features 3 to 4 bedrooms, a generous living space, and delightful outdoor areas including a 55 m² courtyard and a 32 m² terrace with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape.
In addition to the main house, there is a separate gite measuring 100 m², currently generating rental income, further enhancing the property’s investment potential. Set on a substantial 7447 m² plot, this estate includes a working wine cellar, still operational and offering viability for further development.
The estate requires some renovation, especially concerning the heating system and septic tank, making it ideal for those looking to invest in a project steeped in history. The proximity to Beziers, located just 25 minutes away, and the beaches, which are a mere 30-minute drive, ensures access to modern conveniences while enjoying the peaceful countryside atmosphere.

France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.
No residency requirement to buy.
Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.
France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
