Welcome to Maison de la botte
We've owned Maisondelabotte since 2006, and have never looked back, we viewed the property for the first time in the December 2005, and was so
surprised to see that the owners were having a barbecue, which
immediately ticked some of the boxes for me, hot summers & mild winters
and the Minervois region is known for its fine wines, what a good place for my mum to retire ! the slower pace of life and the lovely weather.
It was love at first sight, Maisondelabotte with its own gardens,
tucked away in the centre of Olonzac, was built around 350 years and
owes it's majestic form to its previous owner, a very wealthy wine
maker!. A typical Maison De Maitre , the original name of the house is
Maisondelabotte and was named after the street in which it is located (
Rue De La Botte) The street dates from around 1317, and is so named
because it is shaped like a boot. I loved the tranquility and privacy of
the house, once the iron gates are closed, you are in a world of your
own, and most importantly the children are very safe. Maisondelabotte
is 'a home' rather than just a' house' we live here when not rented. The
gardens are stunning.
A step outside into the heart of the village, you'll find bakers,cafes,
parks, tennis club, and the supermarket and good restaurants are just on
your doorstep. Olonzac is an ideal base to explore the surrounding
countryside and mountains of the local area to the beautiful beaches of
the mediterranean sea, Narbonne & Beziers only 30 minutes away. The
recreational lake Jouarres is 3mins away by car, the lake is In a
natural setting, a tranquil place with its beach and its shady pinewood,
at the edge of Canal Du Midi. Just wonderful !
