This former Maison de Maître stands proudly in a characterful Languedoc village, its grand façade hinting at the elegance within. Maison Tigre has been meticulously restored to marry classic French architecture with contemporary design. Inside, light pours through tall windows onto exquisitely tiled floors, while original features have been sensitively preserved to retain the home's incredible charm.
Across three levels, the house is both generous and inviting. On the first floor, three delightful bedrooms combine simplicity with comfort, each space bright and classically styled. The master suite occupies the entire second floor, offering a private haven with its own living area and a gorgeous bathroom complete with a freestanding tub and walk-in Italian shower - it feels more like a boutique hotel retreat.
Downstairs, everyday moments take on a leisurely rhythm. A stunning kitchen and dining room set the stage for long meals, while the stylish living area opens seamlessly to the garden through ceiling-height glass doors. Outside, the Languedoc lifestyle unfolds around a private, heated 12-metre pool framed by cypresses and a poolside terrace. A striking summer kitchen rests beneath wooden beams, perfectly shaded for relaxed outdoor dining and lounging, with a barbecue, bar, fridge and ample space to unwind.
With traditional village life on your doorstep, just a short stroll brings you to a bustling café bar, bakery and butchers. Also within walking distance, Le Canal du Midi invites cycling or waterside lunches, while sandy stretches of the Mediterranean coast lie only 40 minutes away by car. Spend the day exploring Capestang’s restaurants and markets, wander through Narbonne’s medieval quarter, or plan a day trip to the romantic cityscape of Carcassonne.
Whether sharing sunny afternoons with family or enjoying the slower rhythm of village life, Maison Tigre promises a refined and relaxed escape in the heart of southern France.
- Air-conditioning is featured in the living room and Bedroom 4 (on the top floor) only.
- A car is needed to be able to reach large supermarkets and fully explore the region – there is gated parking at the house.
- If travelling with youngsters, take extra care on the narrow spiral staircases outside.
