The Cabinet ARGENCE & ARGENCE presents this sublime estate from the early 19th century with 600 m² of living space! Nestled in its green setting and surrounded by vineyards, on the outskirts of Montpellier, this property with incredible charm is the original work of a surveyor wishing to find refuge from his many travels in this very special place. The setting was perfect for this, and this Montpelliéraine 'countryside' thus naturally draws inspiration from a holistic view of the world, with a strong Mediterranean emphasis present in the atmosphere and thanks to the species that make up the park, referencing Provence and Tuscany. The desired architecture aimed to highlight a certain nobility, setting it apart from the more widespread agricultural farmhouses in the region, even though it was enlarged in the 20th century for viticultural purposes. The estate as a whole reflects several eras with elements reminiscent of both an authentic Provençal Bastide and an orangery, a bourgeois house, or even a more modest countryside home. What is certain is that the current property is a testament to the desire to find a house that presents the luxury of simplicity and authenticity. The main house, with 600 m² of living space, is spread over 3 levels. The entire ground floor is dedicated to living spaces that are very much open to the outdoors, a luxury for something historic. The ceiling height is impressive, with vaulted ceilings. A large fireplace adorns the living room space, wonderfully bringing together the occupants of the house. The kitchen will be modern in its design as it opens and connects to the living areas while respecting the spirit of the old. The volumes are generous, and light beautifully enhances every space in the best way possible throughout the year. The first floor offers a master bedroom area. Two suite bedrooms are provided, each with its own private lounge, reminiscent of beautiful hotels and with a layout typical of the old, in a 'Haussmannian inspiration' to explain it in the most accurate way. A large 68 m² suite opens majestically onto a 50 m² solarium terrace with breathtaking views. Small living room, bedroom, alcove dressing room, and finally a private bathroom with an authentic clawfoot bathtub as well as an Italian shower. On the opposite side of the landing, another suite apartment measuring 70 m², similar in style, but without a terrace this time. The second floor has three suites. Two of 45 m² each with a private lounge, one of 60 m² also featuring a lounge and private bathroom. Finally, in one wing of the building, a studio with a mezzanine bedroom that can be completely independent or joined with the whole property. A large laundry room, or if necessary, another suite, is possible thanks to a free space for inspiration, and the back kitchen could become a professional kitchen, adding to the functionality of the property. The estate also benefits from a guardian's house in a rear courtyard, currently divided into two apartments offering 2 bedrooms each, as well as a huge outbuilding of 200 m² with a ceiling height of 13 meters, which would be ideal for an artist, seminars, or any other project you may wish to realize. The place is simply magical and nothing is missing, both in spirit and material: ornate cast iron radiators, vaulted ceilings, parquet flooring, stone, and steel... Everything blends wonderfully, and despite the notion of vastness on paper, the dimensions remain human scale, making the place warm, simple, authentic, and inviting. The outdoor spaces will reflect everything that has been discussed. The pool area, designed like a basin, perfectly combines the old with the modern, benefiting from a superb summer kitchen, garden walks in a French spirit, paved and tree-lined courtyards for large receptions.... Once again, nothing is lacking. This exceptional property is served by the Mauguio airport within minutes, the A9 motorway with quick access, and the TGV train stations in Nîmes or Montpellier, making this property an exceptional and quick-access location to fully enjoy, like its 19th-century creator, an ideal 'retreat' to savor magical moments.This description has been automatically translated from French.
