Welcome to South to South, your vacation home from home in the heart of the delightful village of Caux – and if you don't yet know where that is, it's about a 45-minute drive from Montpellier and a neighbour to big brother, Pezenas.
South to South is the dream-come-true of Christo and Elise Bredenkamp (that’s us, windswept and on a hike with our pride and joy: Warren, Roxi and Ivy Dauncey; and Garryn, Grethe, Leo and Levi Pretorius). You can read more about our journey and our hopes here and meet South to South property managers, Warren and Roxi Dauncey here. Roxi and Grethe are our daughters and they picked the best sons-in-law for us. Then they went a million steps further and gave us the most adorable grandkids.
This beautiful home in the lap of lush vineyards is spot-on for small groups of friends or an extended family – it offers a three-bedroom (all en-suite) main house with three reception rooms, a roomy terrace, large dining room and a well-equipped kitchen, plus a one-bedroom self-contained apartment. A swimming pool in the courtyard completes the picture and makes summer living easy, not to mention that it’s a perfect setting for sundowners and the great selection of wines from the neighbourhood.
Caux is in the greater Languedoc district, an area that boasts excellent vineyards and passionate winemakers. Wine tasting, hiking, leisurely walks, village markets, great restaurants and excellent shops are a hop, skip and jump away in Caux or nearby villages, towns and cities.
A future added feature of South to South will be an art studio, where artists (and not-yet-but-aspiring-to-be-artists) can be inspired and/or re-inspired as you let a change of scenery reignite your creativity. This space will be our last major renovation which will be tackled when the ship comes in with some extra funds.
