Eco-designed retreat: stone farmhouse with panoramic views

Located in the heart of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park, in the commune of Castanet-Le-Haut, this former sheepfold?fully renovated in 2014?sits on a vast, flat plot of land.

Nestled along the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela, the property enjoys a peaceful setting amidst unspoiled nature, offering breathtaking views of the Espinouse massif.
The property lies at the foot of the Saint-Eutrope Chapel, a UNESCO World Heritage site since April 2026 and a key landmark of the new Terres d’Hérault Global Geopark.
While close to the region’s remarkable sites, this exceptional property embodies the ultimate luxury of tranquility, disconnection, and eco-friendly comfort.

The main residence impresses from the moment you enter with its fluid layout and abundant natural light.
The living area features a cozy lounge enhanced by a cast-iron Jotul wood-burning stove, harmoniously blending with a modern, fully equipped open-plan kitchen.
The combination of exposed stone and solid oak flooring creates a gentle atmosphere and authentic charm.

This level also includes a bedroom with a walk-in closet, a bathroom equipped with both a bathtub and a shower, and a separate wall-hung toilet.

Up on the mezzanine, beneath exposed beams, a lounge and library area creates a cozy, suspended retreat.

The renovation prioritizes high-end eco-friendly materials: wood-fiber insulation (30 cm in the roof, 10 cm in the floor), 60 cm stone walls insulated with lime-hemp, and double-glazed PVC windows. On the garden level, the authentic terracotta-tiled floor features a laundry room and a spacious, heated 23 m² room, ideal for a creative studio or an office.

The outdoor areas offer total immersion in nature.
Sheltered by a kiwi-vine trellis, the outdoor dining area sits on a shaded terrace?perfect for sharing special moments.

Nestled within the natural landscape, the outdoor Jacuzzi serves as a private vantage point overlooking the terrain, promising unforgettable moments of relaxation.

While secluded and peaceful, the property remains well-connected to local amenities?including shops, medical services, and schools in the Mare Valley?and is close to the Hérault region’s iconic landmarks.

A second, three-level stone cottage offers the potential for expansion or use as an additional outbuilding.
