In the heart of the beautiful medieval village of Caunes-Minervois, l’Ancienne Boulangerie is a remarkable property combining centuries of history, generous living spaces and elegant interiors.
Once the bakery serving the historic Abbey of Caunes-Minervois, the building later continued as part of the village’s baking tradition before beginning a new chapter as a Maison d’Hôtes. Today, it offers an appealing opportunity for buyers looking for a substantial character property in the South of France, either as a private residence or with the possibility of continuing a guest accommodation activity.
Behind its traditional village façade lies a surprisingly spacious interior with many character features that have been carefully preserved.
The property offers seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms in total, including five established guest bedrooms and separate private owner’s accommodation.
Ground floor
The ground floor provides generous reception and entertaining spaces.
A welcoming salon with fireplace offers a comfortable place to relax, while the spacious dining room, with double French doors opening onto the lane, creates an attractive setting for meals and entertaining.
The large kitchen and adjoining pantry are particularly well suited to a property of this size and have previously supported the Maison d’Hôtes activity.
Also on this level are an entrance hall, laundry room, shower room with WC, workshop/storage area and a small courtyard/terrace.
First floor
The first floor accommodates four bedrooms.
Three have their own ensuite shower rooms, while the fourth benefits from a separate shower room and WC.
This floor also opens onto one of the property's most appealing features: Its large main terrace.
With the distinctive pepperpot turret of the neighbouring medieval château forming part of the backdrop, this is an atmospheric outdoor space for breakfast, dining or simply relaxing in the South of France sunshine.
Second floor
The second floor provides further accommodation and increased privacy.
Here you will find an additional bedroom with ensuite shower room, together with another room suitable for use as a bedroom or office.
A further private terrace provides another valuable outdoor space.
Also located on this floor is the separate owner’s accommodation, creating a welcome distinction between private and guest areas.
The renovated owner's apartment comprises a lounge with fireplace, kitchenette, principal bedroom and ensuite shower room, providing a comfortable private retreat within the property.
A flexible property
The interiors have been professionally decorated, creating an attractive balance between the historic character of the building and a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.
For buyers wishing to continue its hospitality heritage, the existing configuration lends itself naturally to a Maison d’Hôtes or boutique B&B activity.
Equally, with its generous proportions, numerous bedrooms, reception areas and outdoor spaces, l’Ancienne Boulangerie could make an exceptional family home or second residence for buyers who regularly welcome friends and family.
The three terraces are a particularly valuable feature for a village property, providing several opportunities to enjoy outdoor living while remaining right in the historic centre of Caunes-Minervois.
Caunes-minervois
Caunes-Minervois is an attractive medieval village in the heart of the Minervois wine region, known for its historic Abbey and distinctive red marble.
Unlike many smaller villages, Caunes-Minervois offers a good selection of everyday amenities, including restaurants, cafés, a boulangerie, supermarket, pharmacy, post office and other local services.
Larger supermarkets are approximately 15 minutes away, while Carcassonne is around 25 minutes by car.
The famous medieval Cité of Carcassonne, classified as a unesco World Heritage Site, and the Canal du Midi are therefore within easy reach.
L’Ancienne Boulangerie offers a rare combination of history, generous accommodation, private outdoor spaces and flexibility of use in the centre of one of the Minervois' most characterful villages.
