Elegant 19th-Century Maison de Maître with Guest House and Canal Views

19th-century mansion by the Canal du Midi, rare Chauffrey stained glass, period conservatory, guest house, full of charm and potential.

Located in a peaceful setting by the Canal du Midi, this elegant 19th-century Maison de Maître offers 327 sqm of living space, beautifully extended over time, and includes a separate 72 sqm guest house — perfect for hosting or seasonal rental.

The main residence is rich in authentic character: high ceilings, original moldings, marble fireplaces, parquet floors, and most notably, stained-glass windows signed by renowned Bordeaux artist Edmond Chauffrey (1843–1926). These rare artistic pieces depict naturalist scenes — flowers, birds, butterflies — and reflect the refined decorative arts of the late 1800s.

The living areas are spacious and light-filled, featuring multiple lounges, an elegant dining room, a home office, a family-style kitchen, and a charming period conservatory. This glass and wrought-iron veranda, with its vintage tile floor, offers a bright and tranquil atmosphere all year round — ideal as a sunroom, reading nook, or garden lounge.

Upstairs, you’ll find six bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional upper level that could easily be converted to create extra living space, studio, or guest suites.

Set on a beautifully landscaped 1,800 sqm plot with direct access to a walking path along the canal, the property offers a rare blend of privacy and charm. Just a short walk away, you’ll find a quaint canal port with a restaurant, perfect for a glass of wine as the boats pass by.

Ideally located near Narbonne, Minerve, Le Somail, Bize-Minervois et Lézignan-Corbière, this character-filled property would make a wonderful family residence, holiday home, or boutique hospitality project.
