Property Description
Summary
Characterful 19th century house, completely renovated, 230 m² of living space with outbuildings and a garden of approximately 700 m². In the heart of the charming little village of Junas, renowned for its quarries and its Jazz festival, ideally located between the Garrigue and the Cévennes, a few minutes from Sommières, with quick access to the beaches, Nîmes and Montpellier (airports, TGV stations), this residence is a living space full of history and memories that still resonate with the laughter of children and joyful meals between family and friends. Having belonged to one of Junas' oldest families, this house has been lovingly and passionately renovated by its current owners, who have preserved its character by retaining original features such as exposed stone walls, Montpellier-style stone flagging, and high ceilings, while also incorporating modern comforts like an efficient and eco-friendly wood-fired central heating system. Offering approximately 232 m² of living space, the main house is organized around areas designed for entertaining and sharing: a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a games room, seven bedrooms, one bathroom, and two shower rooms. Outside, the private and secluded garden and terrace extend the living spaces. The outbuildings (barn, shed, garage, office, attic, etc.) offer numerous possibilities for conversion, making this house a rare opportunity, ideal for an exceptional family residence or an ambitious professional project. Electricity, plumbing, and roof were redone in 2016. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website. Energy performance certificate date: October 28, 2025. Estimated annual energy costs for standard use: between €4,900 and €6,670 for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023.
