Superb Maison de Maître with 2 courtyard gardens in busy Corbières town
Superb Maison de Maître, located in a tranquil sector of the busy town of Lézignan-Corbières, offering almost 280m² of habitable space, comprising 4 distinctive bedroom suites, several reception rooms, further partially developed space, two large courtyards and off-street parking.
This stunning 19th century house is on two floors and has been renovated to high standards with style and taste, preserving many of the original period features, such as the amazing mosaic & terrazzo flooring, carpentry and marble fireplaces found throughout the property. It is hidden from street view behind electric iron gates that open onto a courtyard garden that is large enough to park 2 cars. The entrance door opens onto a hallway, off which is an office/reception room on one side and a formal salon on the other. The salon opens onto a generous dining room, which in turn has French doors opening onto the back courtyard. Across the hallway is a corridor opening onto the first reception room and a charming kitchen with a pantry. The kitchen also opens onto the back courtyard. Further along the corridor, one enters a private salon and a ground floor bedroom suite. There is a separate entrance from the front courtyard into this part of the house, so this part could be made independent if desired.
The back courtyard, which runs along the length of the house, is accessible from the dining room, the kitchen and the bedroom suite. Currently, it is configured as an outdoor dining area and an outdoor salon. There are a laundry/utility room and access to a small barn at the salon end, and street access at the dining room end. There is ample space to install a small pool at the salon end.
From the hall, a rare local red marble staircase leads up to the upper floor, where there are three bedroom suites, each with its own character and charm. There is also a partially developed part of this floor that would give two additional bedroom suites.
This exceptional home is well presented and ready to move into, with the possibility of creating further habitable space. It would work equally well as either a private residence or as a high-end bed & breakfast, with separate owners’ quarters. Its location, within easy walking distance to the centre of the town, yet away from the hustle and bustle, adds to its attraction.

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
