An exceptional residence on the outskirts of Béziers
Ten minutes from Béziers, in a wooded setting of more than one hectare entirely enclosed, stands a family estate whose history can be read in every stone. Long ochre façade, masonry cart entrance porch in a full arch, dovecote overlooking the entrance courtyard: the whole forms the characteristic silhouette of the grand bourgeois properties of Languedoc.
In the heart of the residence, 538 square meters distributed with that generosity that is no longer found in contemporary constructions. Eleven main rooms, eight bedrooms, an independent caretaker’s apartment, and above all reception areas that have retained their original decor — a rare thing, even in properties that are otherwise much more expensive.
The large living room reveals a Louis XV fireplace in carved wood topped with a painted trumeau, opening onto a floor of decorative cement tiles that instantly transports you a century back in time. The more intimate billiard room invites you to linger: period woodwork, ancient Aubusson-style wall tapestries, painted trompe-l’œil ceiling adorned with rosettes and friezes. Further on, the estate’s private chapel, entirely preserved: polychrome marble altar, barrel vault, original decor intact — a place of contemplation that testifies to an era and that no modern restoration could recreate.
To these main volumes are added 660 square meters of remarkable annexes: attics with beautiful heights under the framework, garage, workshop, storage, annex kitchen. Considerable potential for those who know how to harness it — family extension, guest houses, character residence, artist’s studio.
The park, planted with century-old umbrella pines and pollarded mulberries, surrounds the house with its Mediterranean freshness. A swimming pool and its paved terrace compose, facing south, the natural place of Languedoc summers.
The location adds to the charm of the estate: Béziers and its TGV station ten minutes away, the A9 also nearby, the beaches of Valras and Sérignan a quarter of an hour away, Béziers-Cap d’Agde airport in less than half an hour. A discreet address, but perfectly connected.
This estate is for those who seek much more than a house: a living space imbued with soul, a work to be written, a heritage to be passed on. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: [hidden information] Fees payable by the seller.
