A winegrowing estate with a village house, 46 hectares of grounds with a vineyard and moors, wine storehouses and annexes in the scrubland, in southern France's Hérault department. The estate covers around 46 hectares, 20 hectares of which are vineyards. It is nestled in the heart of the village. The property includes a series of buildings that form a U shape around a courtyard. There is a house with a 183m² floor area, an annexe, a wine storehouse, an agricultural storage building, a garage and several buildings that stand among the vines and need to be restored. You reach the property via a little bridge across a stream and then through a wrought-iron gate that leads into a rectangular court. The plain main building in the heart of the village has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. Redesigned over successive periods, the house has been recognised as part of a winegrowing estate since 2015 when its current owner bought the place. Behind the house, a double garden covers 290m² and extends alongside the stream. The estate's vineyard and moors are spread over two villages in the immediate surroundings. Many outbuildings, some in ruins, dot the vineyard. Some serve as storehouses or shelters. The vineyard is surrounded by lush scrubland with chestnuts, hazelnuts, strawberry trees and holm oaks. You can see the Caroux mountains to the north in the distance. Small fauna can be found here to, even in the estate's name - an Occitan word meaning a certain little bird with a superb crest and a beautiful song. The current owner has redesigned and modernised the estate. He oversaw some work, such as the creation of the wine storehouse and the partial renovation of the main dwelling, which dates back to the late 19th century. He also overhauled the way the vineyard was run to produce its wines. Biodiversity is a subject that the current owner takes seriously. The winegrowers on the estate work with respect for natural cycles and follow the principles of organic farming.
