How to get there​

Airports: Carcassonne 45 min (Ryanair), Beziers 35 min, Perpignan 1h, Toulouse 1h30, Montpellier 1h30

Train: Narbonne 25 min. Due to be completed by 2040, is a new TGV station that will be built just 15 mins away in Montredon-les-Corbières. This will link the area to Paris (3 hours) and to Barcelona (1 hour) radically transforming the area and its potential as a shrewd investment.

 

Layout

Ground floor: There is 165m2 of open concrete floor area, with access onto a large to courtyard space. The building also has 14 enormous concrete wine vats (400 hectolitres each or 5x4x3m varies) If these were to be opened/cut you have the potential for much more space: storage or habitable spaces (see the house listing on this site which consisted of these same vats in another building)

 

Access is via a large metal roller door (4x4m) or a metal secure door to the laneway behind the building

 

Second floor: Two 111m2 open concrete floors, linked by 2 bridged concrete walkways. At the moment there is a temporary workspace with shower, tables, light kitchen and bed. The windows are single-glazed industrial metal windows frames. Upper spaces have steel balustrades.

​

Outdoor area

A recent boundary survey has been carried out. There is a North facing courtyard of 150 m2 enclosed by the building wall of the main cave cooperative (retired) to the South and a fence to the North. There is a double steel secure gate to the street. 

 

The roof to this building was retiled in 2010 and is in good condition allowing a great hassle free starting point for your project.

​

Conversion

Rural/agricultural building in buildable 'U' zone.

Please note the property requires connection to services which are located on the East boundary – A relatively straight forward exercise, with an easy approval of the friendly local marie.

Property Tax

Currently an agricultural property:  hence there is no tax required as is.
Property tax once converted: this will depend on your project (quantum of habitable, offices, workshop etc). As an estimate you could allow approximately 2600€+ / year for 200m2 habitable space.
