Go native in French vineland

Fun in a Vineyard. Les Jardins de Saint Benoît is located on a 17 acre riverside site at the edge of the picturesque village of St. Laurent in the heart of the Languedoc.

This is a vineyard and spa estate being developed by Garrigae Investments and promoted in Ireland by Douglas Newman Good.

Garrigae says that, in keeping with its vision of integration with the local community, Les Jardins de Saint Benoît will be an extension of the small but vibrant village of St Laurent de la Cabrerisse.

Interiors will be furnished to the highest standard and the surrounds are to contain private gardens planted with native flowers, fruit trees and herbs.

As an owner at St. Benoît you will receive a share in the ownership of the on-site vineyard and olive grove as well as having the opportunity to participate in harvesting, pressing, ageing and tasting the wine should you so wish. I can see a stampede for the tasting option in any case.

All the facilities that you would expect from an international five-star resort will be available, according to DNG. There will be indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, a terrace bar with panoramic views, a spa, a Mediterranean restaurant and comprehensive on-site management services. The children’s club offers large play areas, a small pool, and a range of activities. There will be conference facilities, comprehensive guest services and the nearby village of Saint Laurent ensures that all essential amenities are close at hand.

This is a leaseback offer running over a period of 9 years, offering a 5.59% index linked annual return. There are one, two, three and four bedroom units on offer with prices starting from €205,000.
