Emma Voysey Independent Agent, says :
If you've ever fancied the idea of living in the middle of a working wine domaine, in a small community of privately owned houses, created from the wine barns of the chateau & the chateau itself, also beautifully restored, yet only a few minutes from a busy village, then this could be the place for you. This 3 /4 bed home with a large garage and a private terrace is brand new, fully restored using high quality materials & is a blank canvas waiting to be filled........spacious, light, with a modern, functional interior & would make either a great holiday or full time home.

This is a great house & well priced. You enter the courtyard of the chateau via an archway, which is shared, and forms part of this property. Entrance is into the huge (fitted) kitchen / dining room, with the utility room and large garage adjacent to this on the ground floor. Upstairs to the first floor, there are 2 double bedrooms & a family bathroom (shower room), plus a spacious master suite with ensuite bathroom. The roof terrace is accessed via doors from all three of the bedrooms & has been built to withstand the weight of a hot tub / jacuzzi if one was desired. The terrace is sunny, private & not overlooked.
Continuing up the stairs to the second floor, there is another large room, with visible beams, which could either be used to create another bedroom with ensuite bathroom, or a gym, second lounge or an office. The view from this room is over the vineyards. Velux roof lights can be installed without needing additional planning permission, if required.
The house was restored by a firm of builders & comes with a 10 year guarantee. It is fully double glazed and insulated and complies with all regulations.
The busy village of Puisserguier is 3kms away & can be reached in 20 minutes to half an hour at a brisk walk. The village enjoys an idyllic location amid the vineyards of the Hérault department of southern France, is a mediaeval "circulade" village, constructed in concentric circles with the old chateau as a centrepiece. Puisserguier has many of its old fortifications still visible, and you will find a long and interesting history revealed as you explore the ancient streets and buildings. The atmosphere is pure Mediterranean, with surrounding landscapes of vineyards, olive trees and garrigue, one of the best and sunniest climates in the country and all just 20 minutes from the beaches of the Med.
Puisserguier, for all its history and slow southern charm, is a bustling and lively place, with all the necessary shops, a supermarket, services and amenities that modern life dictates. Market days are Tuesdays and Fridays, and shopping in this very French fashion is a pastime which rarely loses its appeal. Puisserguier also offers bars and restaurants for your enjoyment, and in addition you can visit wine caves and an olive oil producer where you can taste the local products, learn something of their production methods and buy the wines and oils to take home afterwards.

Herault, department number 34, is located in the South of France on the Mediterranean coast and has a fantastic year round climate. It is famous for its full-bodied red wines and for its oyster beds along the coast in the Bassin de Thau.
Montpellier is the capital of both the Hérault department and the Languedoc-Roussillon region, and is the driving force behind the regional economy with high tech industries in Agropolis and Euromedecine. The area has seen a dramatic transformation during the last 50 years. The rise of a strong left of centre local government has left a legacy of good housing, pedestrianisation of town centres and a public transportation network that is second to none.
Béziers is further to the south, renowned for its ancient bridge. It has a population of 70,000 and is the unofficial capital of the largest wine-producing region in France, with vineywards dominating much of the local landscape.
Elsewhere, the town of Sete is the most important fishing port on the French Mediterranean coast and Le Cap d'Agde is the largest purpose built tourist resort in the whole of Europe. It can accommodate up to 100,000 tourists at any one time. Nearby is Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, one of France's most beautiful villages.
Flying into Herault couldn't be easier. There is an international airport in Montpellier and a smaller one in Béziers, with mainly flights from Paris. Although Ryanair now has a service from Bristol to Béziers three times a week. Montpellier has regular flights to and from the UK with Ryanair, GB Airways and British Airways. The fast and comfortable TGV train service also runs through to Montpellier.
In terms of french property, Montpellier is the most expensive city in the Languedoc-Roussillon and has experienced a 25 percent increase in prices over the last five years. Outside Montpellier, the trend remains similar, as the Hérault is an increasingly popular place in which to own property - but in the rural villages and hamlets further inland, there are still bargain french properties to be found.
