Superbly
situated 3 metres from the waterfront overlooking the
Mediterranean Etang Du Thau, in the port of Marseillan, La Résidence
Rive Gauche icomprises just 12 sumptuous apartments offering
superb sea views from generous terraces, Résidence Rive Gauche
affords discerning clients the opportunity to acquire a prestige
waterfront property in an unspoilt Mediterranean environment. With
a range of investment options offering guaranteed and tax
efficient rental returns when not in use and strong potential for
capital appreciation, La Résidence Rive Gauche represents both a
Sound Investment proposition and a Coup de Coeur.
Still
relatively undiscovered by the mass market, Marseillan is a
beautiful little fishing village situated on the Etang De Thau - a
large saltwater Lagoon separated from the Med by a slim Lido that
runs between Séte and the Cap d'Agde. Once a significant
port for wine shipments, the village now concerns itself primarily
with the cultivation of oysters, the distillation of Noilly Prat
and the pursuit of Arte du Vivre. It is at Marseillan too that the
Canal Du Midi empties into the Mediterranean, and as such it is
well known by sailors and shellfish aficionados as one of the gems
of the Mediterranean. Résidence Rive Gauche occupies a
commanding waterfront site at the entrance to the port with
uninterrupted view over the Etang, the Oyster Beds, and the town
of Séte which cascades down Mont St Clair into the Mediterranean.
It is rare that a site such as this comes on the market; much less
that planning is obtained for residential development.
"Like
St Tropez probably looked before Brigitte Bardot decided to grace
the beach there (Marseillan) is staggeringly pretty, with one of
the most unspoiled ports in France. You can while away many an
afternoon at the Château du Port restaurant, drinking wine and
watching the boats go by... "
Helena Frith-Powell, "Mad About The Med", The Sunday
Times, June 4th 2006
Location
The
Residence
La
Résidence Rive Gauche will consist of 12 superbly appointed two
bedroom apartments over three floors, ranging in size from 79m²
to 104m². Enjoying a sunny Southerly orientation the apartments
will be constructed using traditional materials and craftsmanship
to designs which blend the traditional and the contemporary to
spectacular effect. Each apartment will have generous 'Jardin
d'Hiver' - traditional conservatory style rooms with wooden
shutters which open out completely to take advantage of the
uninterrupted sea views. Apartments on the third floor enjoy the
additional benefit of generous balconies, while the top floor
apartments will also feature large private roof terraces.
Interiors will invoke traditional Mediterranean elegance with a
modern twist. Wood, iron-work, lime washes and traditional
textiles will be employed alongside parquet and local flagstone
floor coverings. Fully integrated kitchens will feature
top-specification appliances and fittings as will the elegant
bathrooms. The apartments will be furnished with top quality
pieces from Blanc d'Ivoire, Ravel and other quality suppliers, and
a number of one-off pieces will be selected to add the individual
ambience of each residence. All will feature a flat screen
television and DVD player, integrated music system, wireless
internet and intelligent lighting. The apartments will benefit
from underfloor air conditioning and heating system and ample
storage space. The end result will be chic, calm and comfortable.

The
Region
Though
rapidly emerging as a prestige tourist destination, the
Languedoc-Roussillon region remains something of an undiscovered
treasure. Nestled along a breathtaking 300 kilometre expanse of
unspoilt beaches between the Cote d'Azur and the Spanish border,
blanketed in vineyards and bisected by the meandering Canal Du
Midi, the Languedoc enjoys a sundrenched Mediterranean climate.
Daytime temperatures average 30° in summer, while the annual
daytime average is 22°. Punctuated with ancient market towns and
thriving fishing villages, the vibrancy of Languedoc life is
tempered only by devotion to a pace that is uniquely
Mediterranean. From the simplest café to the Michelin starred
brasserie, the food of the Languedoc will revitalise even the most
jaded palate. Mirroring the emergence of the region, the region's
wines are increasingly recognised as some of France's best, and
the many Chateau, Domaine and Cave - most of which are open to
visitors - will demand and reward a lifetime's consideration.
Availability

are a number of ownership options available from zero to six
months occupancy. Yields range from 4.50% to 5.62%.
