The space allows fantastic views over the Pyrenees and the Montagne Noire through large sandstone framed window openings and doors, with historic timber shutters.

The entire roof to the main building has been replaced in 2010, at an approximate cost of 100,000 Euros. There are therefore no leaks and the large impressive timber structure is in excellent condition, rare indeed for this area.

On the ground floor there is 500m2 of usable floor space across two buildings. There are also many large (5x4x3m varies) unused wine storage vats in concrete and 9 enormous oak wine barrels (4x3m) The old timber entry doors are 4m tall ! There are also other various industrial rooms associated with the former wine making industry which are better seen than described.

Accessible from the first floor there is a South-facing terrace of 100m2 and a small north-facing terrace of 15m2. The exterior has a very mature green growth ivy and vines giving a very picturesque outlook despite its industrial heritage.

 

The building is in rural zone U and is not in flood zone. There is plenty of parking space on the plot and electrically operated roller door (4x4m) for vehicle access to the interior.
