A wine-grower’s house from the 19th century, in the Vaunage plain to the south of Nîmes. The property, which is a short walk from the village centre, boasts a long stone wall at its southernmost reaches, at the centre of which stands a gentle green coloured metal gate framed by two imposing limestone pillars.
Behind this wall lies a dense screen of vegetation, made up of Mediterranean trees and shrubs, that partially hides an impressive wine-grower’s house situated in the middle of a 2,500-m² plot of land.
The two-storey, rectangular building possesses an outbuilding, divided into two parts, to the east. The first part, which borders the street to the south, still houses old wine vats. The second part, adjacent to the northern wall, remains in an untouched condition.
The building’s façades are not uniform and mix sections made of exposed light-yellow stone with parts built with rubble stone rendered with limewash or cement. The window and door openings are rectangular and some of the frames are made of ashlar. The recently renovated roof is made of half-round tiles. The main building has a gable roof while the outbuilding has a single sloped roof. Both have a double or triple Génoise corbel.
Lastly, the western part of the property is occupied by a garden that is fully enclosed by remarkably well-preserved stone walls. It plays host to a well and a stone outbuilding that has been converted into an outdoor dining area. The lush and diverse greenery provides an oasis of cool, which is especially well appreciated during the summer.
