Mas de la Costete is a peaceful estate nestled in the heart of the Haut Languedoc Natural Park, where centuries of history meet the vibrant beauty of southern France. This lovingly restored villa, once a silk factory, has been brought back to life using local materials like stone, travertine, and waxed cement, giving it an authentic charm. Set amidst lush Mediterranean gardens, it is perfectly positioned for those seeking a quiet escape while still being just a short stroll from the village’s shops, cafés, and restaurants.
Accommodating up to 8 persons, Mas de la Costete offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with spaces that encourage both togetherness and privacy. The main building features three beautifully designed bedrooms, each offering its own slice of tranquility - from a main suite with a panoramic bath to a cozy twin bedroom nestled under timber beams. The open-concept living and dining areas, with their original wood-beamed ceilings and natural stone arches, create a relaxed yet stylish space for gathering. The fully-equipped kitchen is a dream for those who love to cook, while the self-contained annex, featuring its own bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, offers some extra privacy.
The outdoor space is just as enchanting, with a private garden and infinity pool offering stunning views of the valley below. Wander through fragrant rosemary and lavender, or unwind by the pool, surrounded by cypress trees. There are plenty of terraces and cozy corners throughout the grounds, inviting you to relax and take in the beauty, while the charming summer kitchen adds to the al fresco experience and is perfect for casual meals or sunset dining. Just a short stroll away you will find charming cafés, markets, and restaurants, while nearby Les Gorges d’Héric is ideal for hiking and exploring waterfalls.
