luxury farmhouse with pool for sale Hérault, France

In the Faugérois, 30 minutes from Béziers, in the center of Hérault, a wine tourism estate of 21 ha with a 17th-century mansion, cellar, and outbuildings. The estate covers approximately 21 ha, of which 14 ha are agricultural, with 10 ha of vineyards cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods for over twenty years. From the heights, the outline of the property stands out, entirely within the hollow of a cirque of limestone cliffs. A discreet road winds through, isolating the place from the nearby small town. Water and vines dictate the settlement of people here. The built complex, characterized by discretion, includes a mansion and outbuildings converted into guest houses or storage spaces. At first glance, the buildings align with organic rigor along the stream and the rows of vines. The entrance faces the dwellings, concealing technical areas at the back. The mansion, raised over two levels and extending around 300 m², is first marked by its warm ochre plaster and white shutters. Its facades are distinguished from their neighbors by the nobility of their carved stone frames. Next to it, a building showcases exposed stones and a traditional eave on its gable wall. The low-sloped roofs, made of canal tiles, unify the whole. Under the roofs, history is rooted in a unique industrial past. The place was first, indeed, a grain mill before becoming an important paper mill. From this time of hydraulic labor, impressive ribbed vaults remain in the residence, now hosting appreciable contemporary comfort. Further along, in the same alignment, the cellar and winemaking cellar, two levels high, are ready to welcome the fruits of a unique dolomitic terroir. A functional and residential art of building, in perfect harmony with the surrounding wild nature. Finally, nestled between these various buildings, a swimming pool has found its place between a low wall and bamboo, for the greatest pleasure of the occupants and their guests.This description has been automatically translated from French.
