Property description

This villa has been built in 1999 in a traditional style and offers all the advantages of a new house but retains the character of something much older as it is built at the heart of a small village in the Corbieres, Languedoc Roussillon, South of France, with easy access to the sea. The large garden was once the communal garden for the whole village and the ancient trees give the house an established feel. Mediterranean colours and decorative Spanish tiles blend well with the local landscape. Beautiful views of the Corbieres, the Garrigue and the ruins of an ancient chateau and its chapel.Description of the building
