The domain is located in the heart of Minervois and is approximately 35 km from Narbonne, 45 km from Béziers, and an hour from Perpignan and Béziers airports. It’s also an hour and a half from Montpellier and Toulouse, and three hours from Barcelona. The nearest highway access is Lézignan-Corbières, which is 25 minutes away, and the nearest train station is 20 minutes away.
The property is situated in a valley surrounded by Aleppo pine trees, with an olive grove of 300 trees on the left and vineyards on the right. The facade faces east-southeast, ensuring sunlight throughout the day and year. The only two nearby neighbors are approximately 500 meters away.
Origin: The domain originally dates back to the 15th century, likely as a Cisterciens barn associated with the Fontfroide Abbey. Later, in the 18th century, it became a glass-factory where bottles were manufactured. After the factory ceased operation, the building was dismantled, and the stones were sold for constructing nearby houses. A restoration project spanning 20 years transformed this 15th-century ruin using the finest and most modern materials. The total floor area is approximately 800 m², with around 400 m² being habitable.
Roof: The roof features concrete beams with terracotta tiles. The common tiles are securely glued with Sika flex 5 points, and the covering tiles are also glued with Sika flex 5 points, along with stainless steel hooks. The zinc gutters are discreetly placed in the last row of tiles.
Windows: All the arched windows and French doors are made of white PVC with double glazing and brass inlays on the interior. The facade windows have built-in mosquito screens within the thickness of the walls.
