Character Estate On The Banks Of The Canal Du Midi – 5 Charming Holiday Cottages Marseillette (118

In the heart of Aude, between the vineyards of Minervois and Corbières, this former 18th-century winemaking estate offers a rare and preserved setting, directly on the edge of the Canal du Midi.

Built at the end of the 18th century, this former wine cellar kept its agricultural purpose until 1990 before undergoing a complete and ambitious restoration starting in 2005. The building now houses five charming holiday cottages, fully furnished, offering an immediately operational tourist business.

Located on a 1,635 m² plot, the property offers approximately 400 m² of living space plus nearly 400 m² of floor space at the cellar level, occupying the entire footprint of the building on the Canal side. This large space is an exceptional asset, both for its volume and potential.

It notably includes an indoor parking area, eight old concrete cellars or tanks, and various spaces offering many possibilities for development, subject to necessary approvals.

Five holiday cottages in a privileged environment
The five cottages each accommodate 4 to 6 people and have been designed with a balance between authenticity, comfort, and privacy. They are south-facing onto the old courtyard, while several rooms and terraces enjoy views of the Canal du Midi.

The 120 m² cottage, classified 4 ears Gîtes de France, is the centerpiece of the ensemble. Completely renovated, it offers generous volumes with an open kitchen, living room, dining room, mezzanine, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room. Its renovation includes a brand new, highly equipped kitchen with induction cooktop and built-in hood, as well as an insert stove in the living room. Its exteriors include several terraces, a private 8 x 4 m pool with a jacuzzi, a summer kitchen, and private parking.

The other four cottages, ranging from 60 to 100 m², each have their own outdoor space and amenities suited to a tourist clientele: private gardens, terraces, spas, or views of the Canal depending on the unit. They are classified 3 ears Gîtes de France.

A property designed for independent operation
The technical design of the estate is a real advantage for its tourist operation.

Each cottage has independent water and electricity meters as well as individual fibre optic connections. Heating is controlled by a system of smart thermostats, allowing easy adaptation of consumption to occupancy.

The property also benefits from a well used especially for the laundry and outdoors, as well as a 9 kW photovoltaic installation, notably linked to a charging station for electric vehicles.

The charm of the Canal du Midi, in the heart of the Cathar Country
Here, the Canal du Midi truly becomes an extension of the estate. Walks on foot or by bike, boating, and discovering villages, vineyards, and wine estates create a particularly sought-after environment.

The nearby village offers the main shops and daily services.

A rare property with heritage and tourist appeal
This home combines qualities rarely found in the same place: preserved architectural heritage, accomplished renovation, five tourist accommodations, private outdoor spaces, nearly 400 m² of additional volume at the cellar level, and a privileged location on the Canal du Midi.

Sold fully furnished and ready to continue its activity, it suits both a family tourism project and professional operation, while offering an exceptional living environment in the heart of the Cathar Country.

A unique, confidential property full of potential, just steps from Minervois and Corbières.
