Domaine de Lavagnac

A prestigious real estate project: The domaine de Lavagnac
A beautiful golf course will be created by Raymond Hearn, one of the most talented American architects. The castle, known as the Versailles of Languedoc because of its dimensions and of its water gardens will become a deluxe complex with a 4-star hotel, a spa and a conference centre. The club house will be built in the 17th-century former shepherd's house. New houses built in a contemporary style from 2 to 6 bedrooms with swimming pool will be built among the vines.
