Montbazin, Languedoc-Roussillon 34560

Seven hundred years in the making. It's your turn to write the next page. Here, you're not just being offered a house, but a whole slice of history. On the ground floor, step into the intimate cradle-vaulted living room, where antique terracotta tiles warm the floor with orangish hues under ceilings over 3 meters high. A 5 m2 mezzanine overhangs the space, enhancing its unusual character. An independent WC ensures comfort on this level. On the first floor, the living area reveals the nobility of the structure: large dressed stones, solid timber beams, wall niches carved into the thickness of the walls. The kitchen and dining room open onto each other in a generous, light-filled space. A beautiful stone-leaf staircase, accented by a simple metal balustrade leading to the upper floor, fully contributes to the character of the place. On the second floor, under the eaves, a landing serves a shower room with WC and two mansard bedrooms with atypical volumes. Natural light enters clearly, creating resting spaces with a singular atmosphere, the energy you only find in houses with a soul. This former medieval watchtower, a village house of 90m2, hides many small peculiarities and secrets typical of period buildings. Details that only a visit fully reveals. Here, every stone tells seven centuries of history and what the walls have endured; no new construction could ever offer that. In the heart of a lively village, with all conveniences within reach.
