Mas des Iris: fully renovated Provençal mansion with swimming pool in Aiguelongue, Montpellier

Mas des Iris is a fully renovated traditional Provençal mansion located in the Aiguelongue district, just north of Montpellier. The area is renowned for its green landscapes, clean air, and verdant biodiversity, making it the perfect getaway for those looking to relax in a lush natural setting, while being a stone’s throw from Montpellier’s historical centre.

Surrounded by a beautiful Mediterranean garden, your family and friends will be able to bathe in Mas des Iris’s large swimming pool, and benefit from the day-round sun on its large wooden-decked terrace around the pool and enjoy an array of sun loungers. In front of the house you can take advantage of a large sunny stone terrace equipped with a plancha. Other activities include table-tennis or the traditional  Provençal game of pétanque, courtesy of the professional grade pitch on the mansion’s grounds, which is illuminated to enable night-time games. Furthermore, both a vegetable plot and a coop with egg-laying hens are located behind the house, providing an excellent opportunity for the education and amusement of the young, and the health of the wise.

The ground floor of this Mas offers a large and light-flooded living room thanks to its double exposure, accentuated by its natural and light tones. This pursuit of authentic and simple Provençal charm continues to be visible in the fully equipped kitchen, with its clean lines and wooden highlights, whilst still being packed with all modern appliances.

The master suite is on the ground floor: it includes a cross trainer and an en-suite shower-room. A further 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (with showers and bathtubs) are on the first floor: 2 of which are doubles, and 3 are singles. The decoration throughout is airy and modern whilst preserving a rustic air, with graceful personal touches such as an original wooden school desk (“pupitre d’écolier”).

Local shops within a 5 minute walk include a bakery, a pharmacy, a grocery store, a newsagent and delicatessen. Thanks to the on-site parking you will have access to the region’s beaches within 20mins. The Pic Saint Loup peak attracts visitors for its breathtaking landscapes as do the multitude of nearby mountain caves, traditional medieval villages, and open-air markets. For active holidays, the local trails are often described as a dream for cyclists, runners and hikers alike, while local rivers and lakes make picnics and family excursions a breeze. Finally, the local area is known for producing the most exquisite wines in the whole region of Occitanie, which taste best when complemented by the fresh local produce!
