About this place
Nestled within the serene grounds of Chateau de Jouarres, this three-bedroom apartment is designed to accommodate up to eight people comfortably. The property features two double bedrooms, a bunk room, and two bathrooms, one equipped with a bath and the other with a shower, plus an additional separate toilet. A kitchen-living room area includes a double sofa bed and opens onto a 14m² balcony that boasts lovely views of the surrounding woodland.
The Residence du Chateau de Jouarres is set amidst a private 5-hectare park that borders the picturesque Canal du Midi and Jouarres Lake. Residents can enjoy the use of two communal swimming pools, a pool bar, and a BBQ area. A short wander along the canal leads to the nearby town of Homps, where bars and restaurants await. Nature enthusiasts can indulge in a variety of outdoor activities, including biking along the canal, hiking in the nearby gorges, or sailing on the lake.
The apartment operates under a leaseback agreement, allowing owners six weeks of use per year outside of July and August, with options for family and friends to enjoy discounted rates. With a few years remaining on the lease, owners may choose to renew it or retain the apartment for personal use. The area is known for its rich historical context and outstanding wine regions, making this property not only a great home but also a promising investment in the holiday rental market.

Buying property in France
France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.
No residency requirement to buy.
Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.
France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
