In France, direct sales are secure because, by law, the buyer makes all payments for the house to the Notary, not to the seller. 

Modern and practical single-storey house (127m2), built in 2016, blending into the surrounding traditional architecture, in the middle of a flat plot of 4000m2, planted with a variety of mature 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 (9.5x4.5x1.5m) and the house. Large main entrance and porch as well as an additional north facing terrace. Underfloor heating, heat pump, fiber 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.

The house lies at the edge of the quiet village of Assignan, which has a small boutique hotel (Village Castigno), offering 3 restaurants (one with a Michelin star), a brewery and a coffee shop. 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.
