About the home

Maison D Or was originally a wine-makers house and built around 1850. It has been superbly renovated, decorated and furnished to provide a modern, stylish and comfortable holiday home yet in keeping with the exposed stone walls and beams.

This 2-storey property has a large open plan living/dining room and kitchen area of 90 sq.m., and a covered summer kitchen area of 20 sq.m.

There are 4 bedrooms, one bathroom and two shower rooms with high quality fitments and furnishings. One of the shower rooms is on the ground floor.

Outside is a covered terrace area for relaxing with a drink or dining on warm evening, a mature garden and a private swimming pool, secured by an alarm, and a barbecue.

The property is located towards the edge of this 'get away from it all', quiet, attractive village with an excellent wine 'cave' and pizzeria. Within a 10-15 minutes drive, there's a choice of supermarkets, boulangeries, bars and restaurants in Olonzac, St Marcel sur Aude and Bize Minervois.

Having 4 bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms, the property lends itself to a large family, or a group of friends holidaying together.

Sunny garden with views

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

This part of the Languedoc has a sunny Mediterranean climate. It can be hot in summer, but the temperature is often tempered by a breeze. Now the 3rd most visited region in France by British people, the Languedoc offers something for everyone. Miles of long, sandy beaches, coastal lagoons, vibrant cities such as Narbonne and Montpellier, historical sites such as Carcassonne and the Cathar castles, fabulous scenery, great cuisine and vineyards, vineyards, vineyards.

The Minervois / Pouzols area

Set on a sunny hillside in lovely countryside, Pouzols is a small, tranquil and interesting village associated with wine-making. It has a 'cave co-operative' and a pizzeria. The church of St Saturnin is of particular interest, built in the 11th and 12th centuries in Roman style. The beautiful, undulating countryside around Pouzols offers the opportunity of lovely walks and bike rides. Get up early and you can see the sun rise over the Pyrenees. Shops and supermarmarkets are within 10-15 minutes drive.

It's a fantastic area for fishing, horse-riding, wind-surfing, sailing, diving and other water sports. The Mediterranean beaches at Narbonne-Plage and Gruissan are only a 35 minute drive away. At the more local Lac du Jouarres (15 mins by car), you can also walk, fish, swim and windsurf.

For sight-seeing days out, there's a lot of choice. Wine-tastings are available at many of the local chateaux and domaines. Spend a day seeing the medieval city of Carcassonne with its fantastic walls and towers. Visit he remains of the Cathar castles, go and visit the lively city of Narbonne with its famous indoor market hall. From there drive over La Massif de la Clape and visit the coastal resorts of Gruissan and Narbonne Plage. And don't miss the olive oil mill called the 'Oulibo' just down the road at Bize-Minervois.

Other shops, supermarkets and restaurants can be found nearby in Olonzac, St Marcel d'Aude, Bize-Minervois and Le Somail. There's a weekly market on a Tuesday morning in Olonzac.
