Wine not invest in Languedoc’s luxury “art de vivre”?

Wine not invest in Languedoc’s luxury “art de vivre”?

With wine estate renovation in the Languedoc region proving so successful, developers are continuing to transform vineyard properties into luxury homes offering an authentic “art de vivre” that the South of France is so famous for.

The luscious region of Languedoc – with its golden, sandy beaches, internationally-recognised wines, fiestas, ancient towns and fishing villages, gastronomy and, as the heart of Cathar country, deeply historical roots – is considered by many to be the real South of France.

With all the benefits and beauty of living in a wine estate – with the advantage of enjoying the wine yield each year too, but without the hard work –  investment into luxury vineyard property in the spectacularly beautiful Languedoc-Roussillon region is becoming a popular affair.

One of the biggest development companies in the region, the multi-award-winning Garrigae, has been experiencing tremendous success renovating properties that allow owners to experience the best that French culture has to offer. A company intensely passionate about showcasing the Languedoc region, it is renowned for hand-picking properties that offer unique and luxurious residences as well as access to “secret destinations” that are usually known only by locals.

The grounds of La Domaine de la Mandoune cover around 45 hectares and are resplendent with 100-year-old trees, olive groves and vineyards with fresh sea air that is scented with pine, rosemary and thyme. A swimming pool, tennis court, golf area (including a driving range and putting green), wine bar and conference room make up some of the facilities and owners’ perks include sharing in the wine yield and preferential restaurant and spa rates.
