8 bedrooms house for sale in Herault (34), France

Property Description Summary The Domaine de Laurel, located just outside the village of VIEUSSAN in the Herault, Occitania, is a unique and beautiful property. It stands on approximately 7 hectares of forest and newly ploughed fields, featuring an ancient vineyard of 5 hectares of Roman origin. This exceptional property was believed to have been built by the Delmas family around 1635, on a site with Roman origins. The main property comprises 3 floors and 15/16 rooms, spanning 286m2. With exposed beams, original fireplaces, and electric radiators in most rooms, as well as 2 reversible air conditioners, the property offers a perfect blend of history and modern comfort. There are 2 restored bathrooms with travertine stone, ensuring a luxurious touch. The property includes 2 buildings: the first house, which has an insulated roof and spans 3 floors, each measuring 7m x 6m with 2 accesses. The building is in good order. The second, older building has a new roof but needs refurbishing, with water and electric laid on outside in preparation for the restoration. Unfortunately, the masons became unwell, preventing them from continuing the work. We have the permits and two different architects' plans for the renovation. The Domaine was once divided into 2 independent dwellings, with several separate accesses to the buildings. Currently, it is lived in as a single dwelling, but it could easily be divided again. The property is accessible via three drives, which lead to a restored garage and workshop. Mature gardens, a large vegetable garden, and an iron greenhouse complete the outdoor spaces. There are 2 very large basins fed by a natural water source, with friendly goldfish added for enjoyment. Evidence of an old Roman villa has been found on the land, and the property has been mentioned in a book by Abbe Giry regarding Roman sites in the area. The land goes down to the river, where once there was an island but erosion has made it barely visible. Excellent quality wine was made here, with the land's schist soil and exposure to the sun creating ideal conditions for grape growth. The property has 1,000 Syrah grape plants, and all the necessary equipment for wine making is stored in two caves. One cave measures 15m x 5.5m, while the second measures 13m x 3.6m. The property also has old and new olive trees, with a mill nearby for processing the olives.
