House Pezenas (34)

A large restored residence of about 500 m², near to Pézenas, in the Hérault area, in the heart of a picturesque village. Located in the heart of the village and adjoined by a venerable fig tree on the terrace enclosed by period railings, the dwelling has been completely restored since its construction in the 19th century. The residence spans three levels, all featuring numerous windows and glass doors with wooden frames. Adorned with Greek friezes, the sober ironwork guard-rails and balconies strictly follow the main lines of the classical-style facade. The natural stone cornices add a distinctive finish to the house and are a fine substitute for a classical Provençal frieze. The roofs are clad with terracotta monk-and-nun tiles. The entrance from the cobbled alleyway is through an old doorway, partly glazed and framed by stone pilasters crowned by Ionic capitals. The capitals are topped by a dentilled cornice which supports a corbelled balcony on the first floor. The edifice is flanked by an adjacent building in need of renovation, which can be accessed via an alleyway. Behind a large wooden gate, this space with a mezzanine can be used for storage and vehicle parking.

Castle Pezenas (34)

Just a few minutes from Pézenas, in a preserved and enchanting setting, Château de Cassan embodies centuries of history, elegance and architectural excellence. Originally a humble monastic retreat, it became a powerful royal priory before being transformed in the 18th century into a magnificent princely residence, earning the prestigious title of the “Little Versailles of Languedoc.” The estate is home to an exceptional architectural heritage, including a vast Romanesque church dating from the 12th century, considered to be the largest Romanesque church in Languedoc. Its impressive barrel vault spans 11.40 metres and extends over 43 metres in length. The apse, remodelled in the 16th century, was later converted into a wine cellar after the French Revolution, reflecting the rich agricultural and viticultural history of the property. In 1998, a significant part of the estate was listed as a French Historic Monument (Monument Historique), recognising the outstanding architectural and historical importance of this unique property. The château consists of a main building arranged over three levels (R+3), flanked by two wings, and surrounded by elegant terraced gardens and numerous outbuildings. The harmonious combination of monumental architecture, landscaped gardens and natural surroundings creates an exceptional atmosphere of serenity and grandeur. The estate extends over approximately 33 hectares, including: the château itself, set within approximately 3 hectares of enclosed grounds surrounded by stone walls; around 4 hectares of building land, including a former cooperative winery of nearly 2,000 sqm offering remarkable potential; 16.5 hectares of vineyards; additional woodland and Mediterranean garrigue landscapes. A truly unique property, Château de Cassan offers extraordinary potential for a prestigious private residence, cultural destination, wine estate or hospitality project. A rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of Languedoc history, where heritage, nature and the French art of living come together in perfect harmony.
