6-bedroom apartment with swimming pool near Montpellier

On the heights of Saint-Clément-de-Rivière, less than two minutes from the village shops and about twenty minutes from the centre of Montpellier, this villa overlooks a garden of 8500m2 planted with olive trees. The hillside opens on to the town and, in the distance, on to the sea. A golf course is 10 minutes’ drive away and the beaches are half an hour away.

From the entrance, the living room and open-plan kitchen spread out beneath large windows that let in light and Mediterranean air in summer. A suspended fireplace sets the spirit of the place, between contemporary lines and retro accents of the 1950s. A second living room with television and a work space complete this entrance level.

The main bedroom, air-conditioned, opens directly on to a private terrace and relies only on fine voiles rather than blackout shutters. Beside it, a small double bedroom shares the same level. Four other bedrooms are found on the lower floor, heated and cooled by underfloor heating, bringing the total to 6 bedrooms arranged around 3 bathrooms or shower rooms.

The swimming pool of 14 metres by 4.5 metres, framed by olive trees and Mediterranean gardens, is reached directly from the living room or dining room. A covered terrace, a table set for 10 guests and a petanque court extend outdoor living into the evening.

This setting suits an extended family or group of friends in search of space, calm and waterside living, a few minutes from neighbouring villages and from the heart of Montpellier.
