Investment opportunity: detached house in need of renovation with a 660 m² garden in Lamalou-les-Bains
Investment opportunity in Lamalou-les-Bains. Detached house of approximately 130 m² on a 660 m² plot, offering great potential, arranged over two separate levels and in need of renovation. The main part on the first floor comprises a conservatory with a beautiful view, a bedroom, a living room with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen with a terrace and a large bathroom. On the ground floor, a former workshop – which does, however, have a kitchen and a shower room – needs to be completely refurbished. This property has every potential to be converted into two separate dwellings, to be completely re-designed according to the owner’s plans, or to suit those requiring space for DIY projects or an artist’s studio. Solar panels, gas central heating and mains drainage. Parking is accessible via a registered right of way and is currently limited to one car.
A property best viewed as a renovation and investment project to create a charming home.
Situated in a residential neighbourhood in Lamalou-les-Bains, this detached house sits on a plot of approximately 660 m² and comprises two currently separate levels, with no internal staircase connecting them.
The property requires substantial renovation and is aimed at a buyer wishing to undertake work to create a project to their own taste in a house with authentic character, possibly as a rental investment or a main residence with separate accommodation.
On the ground floor, the owner’s former workshop has been partially converted into living space. The property comprises a kitchen, several rooms, a shower room, a separate toilet and a storeroom of approximately 14 m². Extensive work is required, particularly on the electrical wiring and the general refurbishment of the rooms.
Upstairs, accessible via a separate entrance, there is a conservatory with a beautiful view, a bedroom, a lounge with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen opening onto a garden terrace and a large bathroom.
The plot of approximately 660 m² currently comprises two garden sheds, one of which is a chalet in poor condition used as a workshop. The garden, which is full of flowers, will quickly become a unique space with a little care. An underground rainwater harvesting tank is also located in the storage shed, making watering easier.
The property has 12 solar panels installed in 2010, which are currently generating an annual income, with an EDF contract running until August 2030.
Heating is provided by a town gas condensing boiler from 2010, which also produces hot water. The house is connected to the mains drainage system.
This property is therefore not suitable for a buyer looking for a house that is ready to move into immediately. Rather, it represents a complete renovation project, an attractive plot of land and various development possibilities worth exploring.
Lamalou-les-Bains is a small town with all amenities and services, a weekly market, cafés, excellent restaurants and shops.

The lakes and rivers are perfect for swimming or water sports. Lamalou is a spa town well known for its thermal cures and is very well suited to people with reduced mobility. The fine sandy beaches of the Mediterranean are only a 45-minute drive away. Some of France's best wines are produced locally. Hérault is considered the most dynamic department in Occitanie and the landscapes are as magnificent as they are wild. Leaving the coast, lose yourself among the vineyards before discovering the foothills of the Massif de la Montagne Noire.
