Historic property in a stunning Minervois village

• Stone property
• Elevator to access all floors
• Overlooking Canal du Midi and Pyrennees
• Private courtyard
• Gite potential
• Good quality renovations

This beautiful stone property is made up of two houses that have been joined together, in a private spot, within a gated courtyard with just two other properties within it.

It has been lightly subdivided to provide 2 independent houses for either multi-generational living or income potential in this highly popular touristic location.

The main house has been beautifully renovated and only registered artisans have completed the work. No expense has been spared and it is evident in the unique touches such as the large kitchen with its vast marble topped island and classic French dining area. The lounge has been hewn out of the rock to provide a beautifully spacious and modern living area with bespoke double glazed windows and doors opening out onto the terraced garden.

The property enjoys underfloor heating throughout apart from a few area where they have preserved the original tiled floors. As well as a main stairwell, there is also a lift system providing access to the 1st floor bedrooms and top floor studio with its double roof terraces.

The property also has a separate one bedroom house with connecting doors, that can either provide more space for family and friends or can be locked to provide an independent property with its own front door access. On the ground floor is a lounge and kitchen dining area with access to the outside. Upstairs is a bathroom and bedroom and access to further either attic bedroom area or play area. This house also has its own independent roof terrace overlooking the canal du midi and far reaching views that take in the vines of the Minervois and the peak of the famous Pyrenees mountain Canigou in the distance.

The property is situated in its own courtyard which two other properties have the right of way to access theirs by. The owner has erected an electric gate to make the property secure and there is a little alley which leads to the cellar below which has ample space for storage. This cellar can also be accessed by the lift.

Paraza is right on the Canal du Midi and is a celebrated village in the Minervois. It is less than half an hour away from the beaches of the Mediterranean but enjoys a calm and peaceful environment uninterrupted by the crowds that descend on the coast during the summer months.

Carcassonne and Beziers airports are both less than an hour away and less than 15 minutes away are the two towns of Lezignan-Corbieres or Olonzac which have all the amenities you could wish for.
