2-3 Bed Villas for Sale in 0, Languedoc-Rousillon, France

Domaine De Lavagnac, 2-3 Bed Villas, 400 Year Old Chateau

This 400 year old chateau, set in an estate of rolling countryside and vineyards, is probably best described as an extremely safe investment property in a very safe market and is certainly the kind of property every investor should have in their portfolio.

The investment statistics speak for themselves: Pay just €36,900 deposit and take a low cost mortgage through a leading French bank for the remainder. Benefit from the security of a bank completion guarantee so you know your money is safe. On completion of your property the developer will cover all closing costs and then provide a 7% guaranteed return for 25 years. This guarantee will cover your mortgage payment, furthermore the developer will cover all your maintenance and ownership costs for the initial period of 25 years. After 25 years you will own the property mortgage free, so even if prices never increased, you would still have made 10 times your investment whilst enjoying 4 weeks free personal use of your property every year.

The South of France, particularly areas close to the Riviera, have fared well even in these challenging times. Official reports from France show that prices stayed stable throughout the difficult second half of 2008 and that in fact prices are now rising again.

Domaine de Lavagnac is located in the Languedoc–Roussillon region of southern France – an incredibly popular area with tourists and the world’s largest wine–producing region. The estates 192 hectares of vines, olive groves and woodland are only 15 minutes from the Mediterranean with its sandy beaches, bustling ports and seafood cuisine. Travel only 30 minutes north east, and you’ll find the vibrant streets and leafy squares of Montpellier, France’s most popular city, home to countless galleries, boutiques and cultural venues.

In the tiny village of Bouzigues, only minutes away, France’s most succulent oysters are farmed. And in nearby Pézenas, the bustle and hum of the Saturday market rises from the carved–stone façades of 16th century streets.

Five international airports lie within a 90 minute drive of the Domain’s limestone turrets and manicured fairways, making a weekend break quick and easy.

Your new home at the Domaine de Lavagnac will sit within an individual “hamlet” hidden amongst the pine forests and vineyards of this magnificent estate. Each house will be built from the best–quality, natural materials, such as Mediterranean oak and local limestone. Contemporary designs featuring enormous panes of heat–reducing glass will let in oceans of Languedoc’s famous sunlight and ultra-modern kitchens come equipped with the latest computerised ovens and fridges, as well as polished–granite work–tops.

The spectacular Château de Lavagnac with its limestone turrets and intricate history, dating back to the time of Louis XIV, will soon become home to a 5–star hotel, where seventy sumptuous suites and a gourmet restaurant are to be housed in what were once the ornate parlours of dukes and barons.

Close by, one of the largest spas in the South of France will offer an indoor pool and full spa facilities. An 18 hole golf course with a lively wine bar and brasserie, located in the domain’s luxurious golf club, will be a central meeting place as will the Tennis Academy and Boulodrome. All of this on an estate so large, that only 3% will be built upon – ensuring its centuries–old forests and vineyards remain blissfully untouched.

For four weeks per year you can enjoy free personal use of the property which will be managed by The Address, the renowned 5–star hotel company owned by Dubai’s luxury developer Emaar.
