Spacious four bedroom house with large garden with pool just outside Montpellier , France

Le Chai is a delightful 19c stone winery, completely renovated, and set on the edge of the Chateau park which is now the local Mairie. Set in a quiet location on the edge of village with all amenities, the garden was once part of the vineyards and the house was the building where they used to store the large wine barrels. The vernacular architecture is spectacular and when you step through the front door you are overwhelmed by the beauty of the vast beams. You look over the 2000 sq metres garden to the cultivated field beyond. The fenced swimming pool adjoins the pool house and fully equipped summer kitchen,which is set in a lawned garden surrounded by stone walls, offering privacy and tranquillity. In November you have the possibility to pick olives from our trees , to take to the olive mill to make olive oil. The house consists of; large spacious living room; large modern stone/wood/stainless steel kitchen; utility room; wide hallway with seating area and second fireplace; master ensuite queensize bedroom with sunken circular bath; double bedroom; twin bedroom; shower room with WC; separate WC; a large mezzanine bedroom; cozy mezzanine office with stone spiral staircase ; outside shower room with WC.

Regular train service is from Lunel, the next town over, a short drive or bike ride away. It is also a 15 to 20 minute drive from a number of different beaches.

We are just over two months in this incredibly restored stone winery and already anticipate being sad to leave at the end of our year here. In addition to the beauty of the vistas, the stunning 1850s architecture and superb design and craftsmanship of the renovation, the warm welcome we have received in the neighborhood and at our children's schools (the creche and l'ecole maternelle), this house simply feels like home. We and the children are enjoying the beautiful pool and enormous lawn dotted with olive trees, and the gorgeous weather is feeling like summer through mid-October. How to make a sabbatical stretch beyond the year that we have? Haven't figured it out yet, so we'd encourage others to contact our amazingly gracious and helpful landlords to arrange for your extended stay in the South of France. With all our needs for daily living accommodated in the beautifully appointed home, we are free to shift our pace of life and benefit from the pleasures of the sun-soaked Languedoc-Roussillon region and the neighboring thriving city of Montpellier. With nearby supermarkets, the organic produce vendor and boulangeries in town, and wineries all around, we're able to try our hand at French cuisine. Every day here is peaceful, although the town offers many activities for children and adults (http://www.ville-lunelviel.fr/associations.php), and the fabulous amenities and universities of Montpellier are 20 minutes away with outstanding public transport (currently the fastest growing city in Europe). Living near the Mediterranean couldn't be any better! Excellent Kidan Kassahun 11/15/2011 2:55:00 AM
