Large stone built Maison de Village property requiring complete renovation. When finished this house will offer a superb 3-4 bedroom house with private courtyard right in the centre of a beautiful old Languedoc village.

The house is situated in Cazedarnes, one of the most sought-after villages in Herault, in the heart of the wine growing AOC region of St. Chinian. The house is just off the village's pretty main square, in a very quite spot with no passing traffic.

It is currently in need of complete renovation but has all the services (water, electricity, mains drainage, telephone) and is sound. The roof has been renewed in Dec 2005 and so is 100% waterproof. The house has had all the furniture and junk removed and so is ready for work to start. All the walls are stone - which when rendered - would look superb. Many of the original wood beams are also present, as are the original tile floors.

Architect plans (similar to those shown) have been drawn up - turning the house into a beautiful 4-bedroom house - with a courtyard. However these plans are not set in stone so any purchaser would be free to develop the house how they saw fit. In fact the current layout of the house would also split very well into two smaller units, offering the potential to live in one half and generate rental income from the other, or indeed to sell both. The local demand for 2/3 bedroom houses is great, as is the demand for rental properties (either for the locals or holiday rentals). The plans shown give one of the many possible options that could be implemented with this property, but with both front and back access there are many possibilities.
Cazedarnes itself is a charming little village with about 400 residents. It is still very much a working village surrounded by stunning countryside. The village has a junior school and Post Office and delivery vans from nearby villages deliver the basic daily essentials (bread, meat, veg etc). However your nearest big supermarket is only a 10min drive away and the village is equidistant from both Bezier and Narbonne. The village is a traditional Languedoc wine village - with a central core of beautiful stone houses with terracotta roofs. The countryside around is exquisite, and forms part of the St Chinean appelation - one of the finest wine growing areas in the region.
Cazedarnes is only 5 minutes from the town of Cessenon - and 10 minutes from St Chinean itself, both of which offer all of the amenities you could need, including Doctor & Dentist, DIY stores, supermarkets, restaurants and bars, swimming in the river Orb, and so the list goes on.

The current owners had planned to complete the renovation project themselves, however due to current business commitments, do not have the time to dedicate to undertaking the project.
