Villa en venta Cessenon-sur-Orb, Bd de l'Orb

In the heart of Cessenon-sur-Orb — a charming village nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of the Haut-Languedoc — this substantial traditional house offers 185 m² of living space, abundant natural light, and the timeless appeal of southern French living. The Property Built in 1973, this detached house is arranged over three levels, offering remarkable flexibility. The ground floor forms a self-contained apartment with a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC — perfect for hosting family and friends, generating rental income, or creating a home office. A 27 m² garage with automatic door and a laundry room complete this level. The first floor reveals the heart of the home: a generous 31 m² living room flooded with light, featuring a fireplace with insert, opening onto a south-facing balcony. The floor also includes a kitchen, three spacious bedrooms (the largest at 14.5 m²), a bathroom with double basin and bidet, and a separate WC. The second floor provides an attic space with potential for further conversion — ideal for those wishing to extend. Outside, an 18 m² extension houses a summer kitchen and a wine cellar — the perfect setting for long summer evenings under the stars. A workshop, a cellar, and a storeroom provide generous additional storage. Features & Upgrades The house has benefited from significant improvements: an air-to-water heat pump, PVC/aluminium double-glazed windows throughout, automatic entrance gate, intercom system, and a private borehole for water. The construction is solid, the rooms are generously proportioned, and the full south-facing orientation ensures sunshine throughout the year. The Lifestyle The enclosed, tree-lined 590 m² garden includes a sun-drenched terrace and a shaded seating area — made for al fresco dining on warm summer nights. A built-in barbecue stands ready for convivial gatherings. Cessenon-sur-Orb is a lively village where everything you need is within a 5-minute walk: bakery, pharmacy, newsagent-tobacconist, petrol station, and a medical centre. Schools are nearby, and — best of all — direct access to the River Orb and its natural swimming beach, the very essence of a Languedoc summer. Right at the doorstep, the Passa Païs Greenway stretches over 100 km of cycling and walking trails through stunning Languedoc countryside — a haven for nature lovers, hikers, and cyclists. Located just 30 minutes from the Mediterranean coast and 30 minutes from the Haut-Languedoc mountains, Cessenon offers a rare balance between seaside pleasures and mountain escapes. The surrounding hills are draped with the celebrated vineyards of Saint-Chinian, one of the Languedoc's finest wine appellations.
