Exceptional Estate With Gîtes And Organic Vineyard In The Minervois

Set amidst the rolling hills and vineyards of the Minervois, this remarkable estate combines authentic character, modern comfort and the relaxed lifestyle for which Southern France is renowned.

Originally an 18th-century shepherd’s house, the property has been thoughtfully renovated with great care and attention to detail. Today, it offers an elegant living environment where natural light, generous spaces and quality materials create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Set on more than two hectares of land, the estate enjoys a beautiful natural setting with its own organic vineyard, mature trees, a private well and an irrigation system for maintaining the gardens and grounds. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, it offers peace, privacy and far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape.

The ruins located near the estate further enhance its authentic character. They are not inhabited and are largely owned by the current owner, although they are not included in the sale.

The main house offers approximately 126 m² of living space and features three bedrooms. Bright and inviting living areas combine original character with contemporary comfort, while large windows create a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape.

In addition, the estate includes two fully equipped independent gîtes. The first offers approximately 82.5 m² of living space with two bedrooms, while the second extends to approximately 86.4 m² and also features two bedrooms. Together, they provide excellent potential for high-quality holiday rentals while also offering comfortable accommodation for family and friends.

Outside, the heated swimming pool is a true highlight. Surrounded by terraces, Mediterranean planting and panoramic views over the Minervois countryside, it provides the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the Southern French climate.

Ideally located near the charming village of Rieux-Minervois, between Carcassonne and the Mediterranean coast, the property combines excellent accessibility with tranquillity and privacy. The centre of Rieux-Minervois is just 2 km away, while the renowned Canal du Midi lies approximately 7 km from the estate. Carcassonne International Airport can be reached in around 35 minutes, as can the historic Cité de Carcassonne, one of Southern France’s most celebrated landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Mediterranean beaches of Gruissan are approximately one hour away by car.

More than simply a home, this is an opportunity to embrace an authentic Southern French lifestyle. A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful estate that combines natural beauty, privacy and established rental potential in one of Southern France’s most desirable regions.
