*** In France, direct sales are secure because, by law, the buyer makes all payments for the house to the Notary, and not directly to the seller. The Notary represents the French authorities, it has a neutral role, and includes the functions of a Closing Agent, a Real Estate Agent and a Notary in the USA.***

Modern and practical single-storey house (127m2), built in 2016, blending into the surrounding traditional architecture, in the middle of flat plot of 4000m2, planted with a variety of nut trees.

Three bedrooms of similar size (14m2), each one with an exit to the terraces or the garden. Two large shower rooms (one en-suite) with WC, living and dining area (47m2), fully fitted high-end open plan kitchen (16m2), adjoining pantry (8.5m2). Facing south, covered and uncovered terraces, bioclimatic pergola, all at the same level as the heated salt pool (9.5x4.5) and the house. Large main entrance and porch as well as an additional north facing terrace. Underfloor heating, two heat pumps, fibre optic connection, water softener and pressure pump, motorized awnings, double A energy performance diagnosis.

Double carport covered with photovoltaic panels for self-consumption and resale to the grid. Adjacent workshop (18m2) with working electricity, water and sewerage, ideal for conversion into a guest house. The plot has further possibilities for enlarging the existing house or constructing additional units.

Thanks to the above specifications, the house is ideal for permanent residency. Its excellent insulation and underfloor heating allow you to live comfortably during the short winters of the Hérault department. During the hottest days of the summer that same insulation offers you the luxury of not needing any air conditioning. Please note that very few houses in this region obtain an “A” in the energy performance diagnosis (“DPE” in French). The yearly electricity expenses for this 100% electricity-based house, including rechargeable car, amount to only 1.500€.

If you are thinking about your future retirement, the house can be used at the beginning as a holiday home either for your own use or as a holiday rental. We will gladly provide you with the contact details of local persons interested in taking care of it.

The house lies at the edge of the quiet village of Assignan, which has a small boutique hotel (Village Castigno), three restaurants, a small coffee shop, and a brewery. All the services needed are 8 minutes away in St. Chinian, which also has a local produce market twice a week and a yearly classical music and a jazz festival. Assignan is surrounded by vineyards, has multiple hiking and biking paths starting at your doorstep and lies at the entrance to the Haut Languedoc National Park (Gorges de l’Héric, Olargues, medieval city of Minerve). The UNESCO World Heritage “Canal du Midi” is 15 min. away, ideal for boating and biking, and in 45 min. you reach the sandy Mediterranean beaches. The river Orb offers swimming and canoeing opportunities only 20 min. away. Carcassonne and the Cathar castles of Lastours are less than 1 hour away, the nearest skiing slope in the Pyrenees is 2.5 hours away.
