Area ✧ suits those whom like nature and want more private space
✦ looks over the river down to the pont du diable and onto the mountains
✦ next to a great 70km greenway; only 20mins easy bike to the gorges for swimming/kayak, 1h bike to bigger villages
✦ village is touristic in the summer with a night market and events, but quiet other times though there's expats and locals to keep some of the retos open
✦ the village has a sports hall and tennis court (there's also one in the now abandoned camping)
✦ access is a bit of a hassle and generally too far for pickups, the mainline in Beziers is 4h30 from Paris 2h from Barcelona, plus 30+mins bus then 30mins pickup/bus; alternatively 2h bus from Montpellier (a couple of times daily)
✦ the local bus service is more regular for getting along the valley/shopping

Property ✧ fantastic natural location, amongst chestnuts above a lovely rocky river
✦ with creative efforts, stone walls, arches and pergolas, could be transformed into a good value and pleasing property
5200m2 plot, ~600m2 building on two floors, plus some basement
✦ recent building that was a retirement home but only partly occupied thus closed, functioning infrastructure so could be a very easy option, with most effort put into decoration and garden
✦ 22 good ensuite bedrooms many with balconies or outside access thus suitable for conversion to independent apartments
✦ 100m2 central segment of flat roof (instead of ridge) that could be made into a terrace, and another narrower of 55m2 that could be given a pergola and work bar
✦ 550m2 of open common spaces
✦ good garden (4500m2) comprising an open area and lots of chestnut trees, albeit obstructed to south by hill so possibly loosing the sun early; 1200m2 in front of the building be cleared and converted to open garden and courtyard instead of parking; the location is the last property with woods all around, and great countryside including a river beach and the village green 10">hilltop tower
