About this place
This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire two high-end residences created from a 200-year-old barn in the picturesque village of Saint-Genies-de-Fontedit, within the Herault department of France. The homes have been meticulously transformed by a renowned designer, successfully blending original historic elements with contemporary luxury. Both residences are brand new and unused, ready for their first occupants, showcasing impressive craftsmanship and modern finishes while preserving features such as exposed timber beams and stone walls.
The main residence boasts three spacious bedrooms and expansive open-plan living areas, filled with natural light. A state-of-the-art kitchen and dining space cater perfectly for gatherings, and large glass doors lead to a private courtyard with its own swimming pool, ideal for relaxation and outdoor dining. This home also features a fully fitted garage with integrated electric vehicle charging.
Adjoining the main house is a luxurious two-bedroom guest residence, fully self-contained with its own entrance, kitchen, and private pool, making it perfect for extended family, guests, or as a high-yield rental property. The property is designed for a maintenance-free lifestyle, complete with automated irrigation and low-care gardens, promoting effortless living.

Buying property in France
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.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
