In the middle of a valley in a dominating position surrounded by vineyards, you find this totally outstanding and fully restored prestigious property with its beautiful park and water basins as a harbor of peace. The site was already known by the Roman and traces of buildings in the middle Ages prove a long history. The property with its surround of smooth rolling hills is evoking a Tuscan convent. The majestic entrance to this exclusive property is the approach on a private driveway, bordered by Cypres trees and colour full oleanders with the stunning views over the vineyards, woods and mountains across to the Pyrenees.  

Former outbuildings have been harmoniously integrated in the existing 18th century Maison de Maître and constitute today a large unique family home. The restoration work has been directed by an architect; only high quality products have been used and the level of finishing shows the attention to details. A contemporary style well balanced with original old features (wooden parquet, monumental staircase with wrought iron railing, exposed beams, painted cement tiles) and modern materials and features such as huge iron windows and doors, tiles and worktops in slate and a 4.5m long fireplace create its own charm and ambiance. The rooms are very bright offering good volumes and a relaxing countryside view all around.

This beautiful home surrounded by the gorgeous park with its water feature, the lovely and relaxing pool area, the unspoiled views on smooth rolling hills over vineyards across mountains and the sound of the singing birds, all that makes you feel in a little paradise on earth. Be aware that pictures don’t do the atmosphere justice!
