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.

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.

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.

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.
