The Gardens:
A rare opportunity to acquire a classic Languedocienne villa only 350 meters to the Mediterranean yet with mature gardens, a small fruit orchard, 40 year old Vines, Pine trees, a Ryad Courtyard & green lawns.
This property has two entrances one for access via a car the other on foot. The vehicle access is via large motorized remote controlled gates. The single gate is linked to a video entry phone system. The curved footpath passes under an umbrella of "pine Parasol" trees leading to the front door and hall.
The original property was redesigned to create a house with many walks and pathways that circulate around the house. These routes pass from inside to outside garden spaces where one can stop and relax under shaded trees, Vine covered pergolas, secluded courtyards, sunny terraces and green lawns.
The gardens feature underground automated watering sprinklers to manage lawns and plants during the summer even if you are away.
Convenient power points are located throughout the gardens. Outdoor lighting for entrances, terraces, lawns and security.
A storage room for 2-3 bicycles is located under the external staircase.
Adjoining the terrace remain some of the vines that were grown throughout this area, over 40 years old, they create beautiful pergola under which to relax in the summer sun.
To the end of the pergola there is a barbecue which is used from March to November.
In the heat of the mid-summer the copse of 'Pine Parasol' trees provide a shaded cool area in which to relax even the hottest day.
The south facing terrace opens onto the living room via two large sliding double glazed doors. The terraces and living room work as a single indoor/outdoor space nearly all year.
Sun-Traps designed into the terrace area mean that even in February or November there are many days when it is possible to enjoy eating or relaxing in the sun.
The rear and side of the house feature a small orchard with 5x varieties of Apple, 2 x Pear trees, Apricot,Quince tree and inside of the Ryad Courtyard a Lemon tree. All of these trees are surrounded by lawn areas irrigated by an automatic underground sprinkler system.
The Vines and fruit trees produce very large quantities of Fruit and Grapes suitable for freezing and storage.
To the rear corner of the orchard is a brick built storeroom of 6m2. This offers plenty of storage for lawn mowers garden tool, tools and much more.
When the current gardens were laid out a plan was to include and area that would both catch the earliest sun of the morning, be a shelter from any wind and remain a alternative, cooler, place to relax of an evening in the height of summer.
This was achieved by borrowing the design of a Moroccan, Ryad-Style courtyard. Featuring Lemon and Banana trees, Mint & Herbs with Arches and areas for a coffee or dining table.
The Courtyard returns us back into the house through double glazed doors into the Dining Room and onto the Living Room.
