Character Village Property with Independent Gîte, with Patios and Large Garage in Sigean, 14 min to the Beach

Renovated former agricultural building in the heart of Sigean, within walking distance of restaurants and shops and only 14 minutes from the beach. The property consists of a spacious main house and a fully independent gîte with its own entrance and 50 m² courtyard. Both can also be connected internally via the impressive 55.5 m² former stable. The main house offers a bright cathedral-ceiling living room with open-plan kitchen, 4 bedrooms, and a 27 m² south-west-facing patio. The gîte includes 2 bedrooms. A major advantage is the 58.25 m² garage. Ideal as a family home with rental potential, guest accommodation or furnished long-term rental.

In the heart of Sigean, within easy walking distance of restaurants, cafés and supermarkets, and only 14 minutes from the Mediterranean beaches, this beautifully renovated former agricultural building offers a rare and highly versatile layout: a spacious main house, a fully independent gîte with its own courtyard, and a large 58 m² garage — a true luxury in a village setting.

Renovated around 15 years ago (including a complete roof overhaul), the property is connected to mains drainage and has been thoughtfully arranged to suit a wide variety of lifestyles: a comfortable family home with guest accommodation, a multigenerational setup, or a home that generates a reliable rental income.

A unique arrival through the former stable

The entrance to both homes is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac (impasse), giving the property a surprisingly private feel. You enter the main house through the former horse stable — a spectacular 55.5 m² space that has intentionally been left in its original state. With its exposed beams, authentic stonework and rustic character, it immediately sets the tone: this is a home with history and personality.

From the stable, glass sliding doors (with curtains for privacy) lead into the gîte, while another door connects to the additional ground-floor spaces: a 22 m² room (non-aménagé), a 15 m² utility room with sink, and the 58.25 m² garage. A staircase then leads up to the main living areas.

The main house: bright volumes and outdoor living

On the first floor, a 13.5 m² hallway leads straight into the heart of the home: a generous 38.4 m² living room with an open-plan 17.6 m² kitchen, all under a striking cathedral ceiling. Large sliding glass doors open onto a sunny south-west-facing 27 m² patio — an ideal space for outdoor dining, relaxing, and enjoying the long evenings of the South of France.

The hallway also leads to:
a 5.7 m² shower room with washbasin
a separate WC (2 m²)
a 15.2 m² bedroom with built-in wardrobe (1.3 m²)
a second bedroom of 18 m² including a dressing area, and direct access to the patio via sliding glass doors

This second bedroom offers excellent potential for an en-suite bathroom, creating a beautiful master suite.

Upstairs, the second floor includes a 13.5 m² landing, a 6.4 m² sloped-ceiling room which is currently unfinished but already has a WC installed and offers the possibility to create an additional bathroom, and two further bedrooms under the eaves measuring 16 m² and 23.6 m².

Throughout the upper floors, the property benefits from a practical resin-style floor (easy to maintain and ideal for everyday living), while the living room features attractive tiled flooring.

The gîte: private, charming and income-generating

The gîte has its own entrance directly from the street, as well as the option to connect internally via the stable. On the ground floor, you’ll find a bright open-plan living space with kitchen (35 m²) and direct access to a private 50 m² south-east-facing courtyard, finished with gravel — a peaceful outdoor space perfect for morning coffee or al fresco meals.

Upstairs, the gîte offers a small landing (2.6 m²), a shower room with WC and washbasin (4.9 m²), and two bedrooms (12.9 m² and 11.9 m²).

The gîte is ideal for holiday rentals, visiting friends and family, or long-term furnished rental — a particularly strong market locally due to demand from companies housing staff. A realistic long-term rental income is around €800 per month, with higher potential for weekly holiday rentals.

The former stable and adjoining ground-floor rooms: a rare blank canvas

The former stable and the adjoining ground-floor rooms are far more than a simple entrance — they form an exceptional blank canvas with huge potential. The 55.5 m² stable itself could become a spectacular reception hall with cloakroom and wine corner, an artist’s studio, a private gallery, a gym, a playroom, or a stylish home office.

In addition, the adjoining 22 m² room and the 15 m² utility room (with sink) offer excellent potential to create a ground-floor guest suite with a bathroom, a wellness area (sauna/yoga + shower), extra storage, or a practical “mudroom” space. This unique layout gives the property a rare identity and flexibility.

Comfort & technical features

The main house is equipped with electric radiators, reversible air-conditioning in two bedrooms, and the possibility to install a wood-burning stove in the living room. The gîte features an electric radiator in the living room and reversible air-conditioning in both bedrooms.

Hot water is provided by electric boilers: one located in the main kitchen, a large boiler in a second-floor bedroom, and one in the gîte.
