19th Century Maison-De-Maitre With Private Pool

There aren't many properties like ours in the area: a large 19th century maison-de-maitre, traditional on the outside, modern inside, with spacious rooms and numerous communal spaces.
Our house, surrounded by hills and vineyards, stands on the edge of the picturesque wine-making village, with centuries-old rural traditions reflected both in its landscape and its mode of life.
The imposing maison-de-maitre dates back to 1874. We have lovingly restored it, added a swimming pool and 2 terraces, modern kitchen and lighting - and transformed it into a stylish, modern house that it is today. It provides comfortable home-from-home accommodation, with a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture, and has two beautiful terraces for sitting out and dining, both facing the vineyards.
In spring'22 the house has undergone yet another stage of renovations, upcycled Poggenpohl kitchen was installed, with modern AEG appliances. Terraces and a bathroom were renovated to a high standard. In spring of 2024, the swimming pool terrace has been paved in natural stone, a pergola was built and one more terrace added on the sunny side.
The house is spacious, with light-filled rooms and modern comforts. It is for 8 people only.
Next to the house, there is a large garden with trees, a lawn, and a swimming pool with a pergola, two terraces and chaise-longues for sunbathing. It is a place of relaxation and tranquility, there's reasonably fast wifi but no TV in the house.

The recently renovated kitchen is large and open plan, situated on the raised ground floor, with a table for 8, and a couple of large sofas for an after-dinner digestif. Or enjoy a glass of eau de vie in the adjacent salon-library, with 2 further sofas, 2 armchairs and a coffee-table. From the kitchen, large doors open onto a spacious terrace. It faces the vineyards and has an outside table and chairs.
Next to the salon, on the same floor, there's a double bedroom with an adjacent bathroom (toilet and shower).
A curved staircase with cast-iron railings leads to the 1st floor, with 3 further bedroom (1 en-suite) and 2 bathrooms. One of the bathrooms was renovated in June'22.

The house stands on the edge of the village of Berlou, providing both privacy and access to the village facilities, which include a Wine Cave Cooperative with a wine shop, a gastronomic restaurant, a brasserie and tennis courts. Berlou is surrounded by vineyards and hills, you can step out of the house and go cycling or hiking in the hills, soaking in breathtaking views all around.
Wine-making is centuries-old tradition in the area, and the village of Berlou is right at the hear of it. Renowned for its excellent wines, it is one of the best producers of St Chinian Appellation Contrôlée. Staying in Berlou, you can be guaranteed an authentic Languedoc holiday!
