The international airport, Montpellier Sud de France TGV station and the Mediterranean coast and beaches are approximately 20–25 minutes away.
Built approximately fifteen years ago above the existing wine cellar, this spacious contemporary residence is exceptionally light-filled and enjoys excellent exposure.
Arranged entirely on one level, the approximately 270m2 house is designed in an L-shape around a beautifully enclosed garden and is extended by a series of covered and open terraces.
The principal accommodation comprises an elegant open-plan reception area, including a very large through sitting room, dining room and high-quality open-plan kitchen. A second double-aspect sitting room incorporates a home cinema.
There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, together with three WCs, two of which are independent.
All of the principal rooms open directly onto the terraces or garden through large sliding glazed doors, creating a particularly successful relationship between the house and its Mediterranean surroundings.
The property has been constructed and equipped to a high standard, with quality materials and fittings throughout. Features include attractive flooring, double-glazed aluminium window frames, extensive sliding glazing in the principal sitting room and automated roller shutters.
A double-sided fireplace serves the sitting and dining areas, while heating and cooling are provided by a heat pump and/or reversible air conditioning. The property also benefits from solar panels and a borehole.
Reception Facilities
Adjoining the residence is an impressive approximately 210m2 reception room, extended by a charming wooden-framed covered porch of approximately 50m2.
This creates a total covered reception area of nearly 260m2, which communicates directly with the house and the terraces on either side, offering considerable flexibility for private entertaining, receptions, events or wine-tourism activities.
The property also benefits from an attractive wooden car shelter, accessible from inside the house, together with a workshop and external sanitary facilities for vineyard staff.
The entire property is secured by an entrance gate, alarm system and associated security measures.
Wine Cellar and Vineyard
The estate extends to nearly 7 hectares, including approximately 3.7 hectares of vineyards currently in production.
There is also significant potential to increase the vineyard area, notably through the replanting of a recently uprooted plot of approximately 1,739m2.
The fully operational approximately 700m2 wine cellar is situated beneath the main residence, terraces and reception room. Thanks to the natural slope of the land, it has particularly easy ground-level access, including for large vehicles, making it exceptionally practical for a working vineyard.
The winery includes:
- Fully equipped wine cellar with capacity for approximately 550 hectolitres.
- Barrel cellar.
- Three storage areas.
- WCs.
- Entrance area.
- An attractive tasting room.
- Large mezzanine-level office.
- Complete winery and operational equipment.
The combination of the productive vineyard, fully equipped winery, extensive reception facilities and proximity to Montpellier provides substantial potential for developing a wine-production, hospitality and oenotourism business.
Grounds and Swimming Pool
The residence is surrounded by attractive Mediterranean gardens, terraces and a lovely enclosed garden.
A superb tiled swimming pool measuring approximately 21m x 4m provides an exceptional leisure facility. It is equipped with an integrated roller shutter and heat pump and forms an attractive focal point within the enclosed garden.
The estate's elevated position, vineyards, Mediterranean vegetation and uninterrupted views towards the sea create an exceptional setting, whilst the extensive terraces provide numerous opportunities for outdoor entertaining.
