This property is situated in a small hamlet, conveniently located less than a 10-minute drive from Coursan. For those needing access to larger towns, Narbonne and Beziers are both about 20 minutes away, while the Mediterranean beaches can be reached in approximately 25 minutes.

The estate covers an impressive plot of 2109 square meters, with a substantial 1500 square meters of existing buildings. This historic former wine-growing estate presents a wide array of possibilities for redevelopment. Currently, the property includes three separate dwellings that require renovation work.

Beyond these residential units, a significant portion of the buildings are classified as agricultural land. These include former workers’ cottages, stables, outbuildings, and workshops. These extensive spaces are well-suited for individuals or groups who need substantial storage facilities. They also offer excellent potential for artists, craftspeople, or those involved in creative pursuits like pottery, painting, sculpture, or theater, where ample room for workshops and studios is essential.
