Set in 2 hectares of land on the border of the Languedoc National Park in the south of France, you will find this simply glorious private mountain retreat with breathtaking views all around. Made up of a main house, guest house, shepherd’s hut and treehouse, it perfectly accommodates a group of friends or family in a luxurious holiday setting.
Languedoc runs along the Mediterranean coast of southern France extending right to the Spanish borders. The region has been named ‘Best in Travel’ by Lonely Planet. Wild Boar Mountain is in an idyllic setting surrounded by trees, mountains, vineyards, olive orchards and cherry trees. It’s the perfect tonic to busy lives - unwind by the pool, explore the hiking and biking trails from your doorstep, or spend the night in the on site treehouse or stone shepherd’s hut.
Languedoc Roussillon, named by the Lonely Planet as ‘Best in Travel’, is a wonderful place to explore. There’s lots to do in the vicinity, catering for all requirements. The house itself has a welcome folder with handy maps and places to visit. The town of Bedarieux is a 5 minute drive down the hill from Wild Boar Mountain. The town has a tennis club with indoor pool and sports facilities (and great mountain views!), a Monday market, and a variety of shops and restaurants. La Voie Verte cycle route is a 5 minute cycle from the house. There is a golf club a 10 minute drive from the house.
