Details

Utterly charming 5 bedroom property set in the outskirts of a beautiful historic village, nestled above the banks of a swimming and fishing river in Southern France in Occitanie / Languedoc-Roussillon, and surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the gorge.

This renovated stone property with pool has access to the river and beach areas from its own 1.5 acres of land.

Currently set up as two separate units with independent entrances, this property has lots of flexibility in how it's used by the new owner (possible gite business - subject to necessary permissions).
In addition to the two fully separate but attached houses, this property also has other spaces such as a studio, and further storage areas that could be further converted (subject to necessary permissions) into further living space, home studio, art studio, or home office.

This stunning property has strong income potential, and would make a fabulous holiday home or for permanent living.
Set across two floors, there is plenty of living space, 5 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.

Outside there are large private grounds, private access to the river, and higher up the terrace and pool with the most stunning views of the river and nearby picturesque village.
A further benefit is the substantial amount of land surrounding the property that could be perfect for a an exciting and profitable project such as glamping or similar (subject to necessary permissions).

The property is in a desirable and popular region in the Herault department in Southern France.
Although this fabulous property has the feel of being away from everything, it is only a few minutes drive from shops, bakeries and other facilities.
The nearest international airport is under 1 hour away as are the Mediterranean coast and beaches.
The nearest shops and boulangeries are just a short drive or picturesque bike ride away and the village benefits from a cafe / restaurant that is open year-round.
There are stunning views from the property and its terrace.
Great opportunity to own a property with income potential in the South of France, in a traditional stone property, enjoying an aperitif on the terrace by the pool with a beautiful view before making the short walk to a restaurant for dinner.

France Property Buying Guide

1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)

On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.

The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.

Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.

2. Paying the Deposit

Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.

3. On Completion

Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.

During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
