Property with stunning views and pool in heart of Languedoc

Property with stunning views and pool in the heart of Languedoc Character property with pool located on the green border of Bédarieux, a lively and bustling small town. On one of the terraces, one can hear the trickling water of the Orb River with its banks at only a few minutes’ walk away.... ...The Salagou lake, the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea and the historical cities of Béziers and Montpellier (both with a high-speed train station and an international airport), are respectively 15 minutes,’ 45 minutes’, 30 minutes’ and a one hour’s car drive away. Bédarieux is a typical Mediterranean small town with a rich tradition and a variety of amenities, including shops, supermarkets, a hotel, restaurants and cafes, but also with schools and medical facilities. In addition, Bédarieux offers a very convenient access through a good road network, a railway station and several bus lines. Bédarieux is part of the "Parc Naturel du Haut Languedoc". Close to Bedarieux starts "La Voie Verte", a bicycle path on an old railroad line, on which one can enjoy unspoiled landscapes for about 70 kilometers without any road nuisance. In Lamalou les Bains, a few kilometers away, there is a golf club. On the edge of Bedarieux, in a rural environment, this property is set in a "hidden" and "unexpected" way in the greenery. The exact building year of this residence is unknown, but it is certain that the property knows a rich history, as evidenced by numerous details such as the vaulted cellars. It was built, partly in stone, in a local and traditional way in a bourgeois style. Since the laying of its foundation stone, it has undergone various improvements to reach its present form. One of the last improvements took place a dozen years ago when additional terraces were added to allow full enjoyment of the stunning views that surround the property. The north-facing terrace, with its coolness in summer, offers a view of the hills and the “Causses” and a glimpse of the towncenter. On the terrace exposed to the South, one benefits from a view on the private park and on the “Tantajo” mountain. The 2 terraces offer on their western side (sunset) panoramic views on the Orb Valley in which the majestic “Carroux” plays a dominant role. The property is immediately habitable but despite the improvements already made, one can still imagine a number of modulations to be made for the future owners to adapt the house to their personal tastes and current standards. The price setting of this property takes these improvements into account. The property offers a built area of over 300 m² including the living area of about 135 m². It is composed, among other of an open plan living room with wood stove and spacious kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 1 shower room, 1 bathroom, large terraces, a garage, a carport, a summer room and vaulted cellars. The regional design of this property offers a very pleasant atmosphere during the four seasons. Both inside and outside, one feels immediately at ease and at home also thanks to its brightness. This feeling of well-being is underlined by the views of the greenery and the surrounding landscapes. The garden (2.750 m²), mainly fenced by walls and wire netting, is accessible by a pedestrian gate or by a portal, for vehicles. The graveled driveway is partially surrounded by lavenders. On the plot, exposed to the South, there are several terraces and relaxation points. The garden has been landscaped with a lot of love and attention and offers an abundance of a mature Mediterranean vegetation, including various flower beds, a lawn, yuccas, oleanders, hedges, olive trees, cypresses and pines. The swimming pool (brand: Everblue) with its Roman stairs and its paved terrasses completes the ensemble. The allure, the dimensions and the discreet and privileged location near the amenities make this property perfectly suitable as a main residence but also as a characterful second home (with an excellent seasonal rental potential).
