A 21-ha winery with a 17th-century manor, wine storehouse & outbuildings, in the Faugères region of the Hérault department, 30 min from Béziers. In an area where water and vines have dictated where people could settle for millennia, this property, consisting of a single, contiguous tract of land nestled within a natural amphitheatre of limestone cliffs and extending over approximately 21 hectares, 14 of which are agricultural in nature, boasts 10 hectares of organic and biodynamic vineyards that have been cultivated here for over 20 years. Accessible via a road, which discreetly winds its way to the property from the neighbouring village, the property’s entrance opens on to the front of the dwellings, concealing the technical facilities in the back. Understated in appearance, the architectural complex, which stretches horizontally along the banks of the stream and rows of vines, includes a manor house and outbuildings converted into holiday cottages or storage facilities. As for the two-storey manor house, of approximately 300 m², it stands out, first and foremost, thanks to its warm ochre plaster-coated exteriors, white shutters and elegant ashlar stone window/door surrounds, which help differentiate it from its neighbours, while, off to one side, a building features pointed stone and a traditional genoise cornice on its gable end. Topped with gently sloping, barrel tile roofs, which unify the different buildings, under their roofs, the history of these edifices is rooted in their unique industrial past: first a grain mill before being turned into a large paper mill, the dwelling still contains, from this era of hydraulic labour, impressive groin vaults, which, today, stand side by side with more contemporary comforts. Further on, but still aligned with the other edifices, the two-storey cellar and winery are ready to welcome the fruit of this one-of-a-kind dolomite terroir, while this complex of buildings represents a functional and residential architectural style that blends in seamlessly with the surrounding natural landscape. Lastly, between these various buildings a swimming pool, located between a low wall and a curtain of bamboo, will be sure to delight both the property’s owners and their guests on hot summer days.

A fully restored former farm and its 19th-century residence, on the Mont-Lozère plateau in the midst of nature. The farm, which was formerly an outbuilding belonging to a priory dating back to the 14th century, has preserved several original stone features. During the Wars of Religion from the 16th to the 18th century, this major resistance site welcomed many Huguenots in what was a strongly Protestant region. They found refuge on these heights to organise their defence, worship or escape without denying their faith, before their often definitive departure for far-off Geneva. At the beginning of the 20th century, the last thatched roofs in the region disappeared, as a result of various fires or the abandonment of the countryside in favour of the city and its more modern comforts. A few ruins remain in the vicinity and bear witness to a past that is merely waiting to rise from its ashes. Some of them were rebuilt in the 1960s and roofed with lauze slate tiles by people who were passionate about rural architecture and by the Cévennes National Park, which developed the lodgings as holiday cottages. The property is one of three seasonally used houses in a small hamlet. Owing to its remoteness and its official protection as a national park, the area has been preserved, as its inhabitants were not encouraged to give in to modern materials that did not form part of the local culture. Not only the character and type of the buildings have been protected, but also the landscape, which has been given sustained attention so that no visual disturbance affects the well-being of the inhabitants, who still live in harmony with their environment. The only neighbours are a few horses, flocks of sheep and goats or herds of cattle, but they are kept well hidden away by a tree-filled hedgerow. On the other side of the property, a river, at once watercourse and private natural pool, forms several small waterfalls and leisurely water features, where one can relax without attracting attention, in winter as in summer.
