A glorious historic wine estate in Languedoc will be transformed into an ultra-stylish boutique development with an exceptional panoramic position, impressive amenities and luxurious holiday homes for sale in South of France
Here is an exceptional wine estate resort property for sale in Languedoc that will be hallmarked by its breathtaking setting, outstanding heritage buildings, luxurious facilities and personalised service.
The lavish boutique development will be comprised of 45 limited edition properties for sale, boasting a sophisticated style of living and spectacular views across the vineyards and lagoon toward the Pyrenees. Each vacation home will showcase stylish aesthetics within an elegantly laid-back atmosphere. The fully furnished 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom properties will be authentically traditional whilst being refined and modern.
Residents will have access to fine amenities such as a boutique hotel, fine restaurant, brasserie, a branded spa, two swimming pools (indoors and outdoors), and tennis court – all set in 10 acres of gardens, parkland and woodland. When not in residence, owners may opt to let their home to holidaymakers and have the professional hotel operator manage bookings and maintenance.
The vineyards will be further restored whilst the winemaking facilities will be modernised. Residents will have the opportunity to take part in the harvest and production and each owner will receive a portion of the yield.
Situated amidst a working wine estate that produces a superb range of AOP La Clape wines, the exceptional property boasts a truly stunning elevated position, south-facing, with majestic expansive views across the estate’s vineyards, over a flamingo-dotted Mediterranean lagoon and onto the Pyrenees beyond.
The historic property is ideally located between Narbonne and Gruissan, just four kilometres from the golden beaches of the Mediterranean. A charming Languedoc market town, Narbonne is linked to the nearby Canal du Midi and the Aude River by the Canal de la Robine, which runs through the city. The picturesque town of Gruissan is a delightful French fishing village and seaside resort on the edge of the nature reserve of La Clape. Here one will be able to revel in the beauty and quintessential charm that defines the South of France.
This wine estate resort property for sale in Languedoc impressively stands right at the Massif de la Clape, a national park where the splendid beauty and unique flora and fauna led to its designation as a natural heritage site, a place criss-crossed with walking and biking trails. It is the largest natural conservation area in Languedoc Roussillon.
Wine from the massif has been exported across the Mediterranean region since Roman times and vineyards continue to be spread across its width and breadth. Over the centuries, local residents have perfected the skill of winemaking and today, the massif is the centre of one of France’s most prestigious wine labels – AOC Languedoc-La Clape.
Enjoying one of the sunniest climates in France, real estate in Languedoc is highly regarded. The region offers excellent transportation links, fabulous sun-drenched beaches and an un-ending expanse of fine vineyards. All in all, it adds up to an incredibly attractive property market that makes Languedoc real estate an increasingly popular destination, whether one is in search of a permanent residence or a holiday home in the sun.
The estate is being created by the leading developer in the South of France, a specialist in high-end restoration and boutique properties – most notably the conversion of wine estates. The company’s first development was an immediate sellout, setting the standard for restoration development in the South of France. The company’s second project raised the bar, and has been widely recognised as the benchmark for boutique luxury residences in Languedoc.
This is a unique opportunity to buy a dream wine estate resort property for sale in Languedoc, one that possesses all of the authenticity of a working wine estate with the facilities of a luxury hotel; hotel rooms and larger self-catering properties; the relaxed and attentive service of a private club.
Project to be launched by this award-winning developer of wine and chateau resorts in the South of France in April 2017.
