Renovated stone farmhouse in peaceful hamlet close by the Cevennes.

Le Mas du Coq is a charming, sturdy, stone-built XVII Century Languedoc farmhouse, cool in summer, recently renovated with lots of style and equipped to a very high standard, on the edge of a peaceful hamlet on the borders of the Cevennes, just outside the thriving town of Anduze. It has stunning views over vineyards, olive groves and unspoilt countryside. The secluded garden and a wide upper terrace offer choices of sun or shade, with a private electrolysis salt-water pool, 9mx3m, easy on the skin and long enough to exercise as well as relax. A large kitchen downstairs, and a second good kitchen upstairs add considerable flexilbility especially for two sharing families or three generations together. Our English-speaking representative, Passos, is welcoming and responsive. In low season, half of the house can be rented, giving two bedrooms, a kitchen and a spacious living area.
