WATER: The property is supplied with water from a spring gushing out of a cliff on the property, stored in a 40 m3 tank, as well as from a productive borehole 130 m below ground. LAND AND VINES: The 55 hectares are all in one piece, including 22 ha of UAA and around 15 ha planted with Chardonnay vines (the majority), Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Merlot. Half of the vines (7.5 ha) are leased, the rest are free of leases, and all the grapes are currently taken to a cooperative cellar. WHAT WE THINK: This property is ideal for a second home if you're looking for absolute peace and quiet, nature and a sense of isolation! We could reactivate the winegrowing business and continue with the existing reception facilities. For a main residence, although it already offers good facilities, you will need to consider updating the living areas and restoring the outbuildings. Contact : Hélène DESSORT +33 614 60 32 32
