Sumptuous Prestige Property With..

Sumptuous 19th Century Mansion, nestling within a private parkland of over 5500m2, situated in a quiet sector of a lively village close to Narbonne, offers in excess of 450m2 of living space. The main residence which was extensively refurbished in 2003 comprises a spacious entrance hall giving onto a formal sitting room, two offices, library and a high end 'Bulthaup' kitchen, whilst a newer modern extension houses the dining room and family salon, with all principal rooms opening directly onto the lovely gardens. On the first and second floors, there are 6 bedrooms, a gym room, a Jacuzzi room and a large sun terrace. The main residence has retained many period features like marble fireplaces, parquet/original flooring and high ceilings, mingling seamlessly modern comforts and high end modern fittings.
Attached to the main house is a large barn with garaging and a back kitchen/ laundry room on the ground floor, plus a large undeveloped space above, that can be converted into a separate apartment/s. The extensive grounds comprise an impressive 18m x 5m swimming pool, a pool house, al fresco dining area, olive groves, matures trees and graveled parking area. Part of the grounds are constructible so there is potential to build another property on this private, enclosed parcel.
With its secluded yet accessible location and the potential for further development, this pleasing property would work equally well as either a prestigious family home or a high end business venture.
