About this house

Step into a remarkable chapter of French scientific history at this converted vineyard, where the legacy of renowned scientist Henri Marès lives on through preserved wine cellars and an authentic orangery. The property harmoniously blends its rich heritage with modern comforts, while offering breathtaking views of the Gardiole hills and surrounding vineyards.

The spacious 60 m² living room opens naturally onto a 55 m² terrace, creating a vast indoor-outdoor living space. Each bedroom has direct access to the terrace, while the well-equipped kitchen invites culinary exploration. The thoughtful design allows natural light to flood every corner, bringing the outdoors in.

The outdoor space includes a refreshing swimming pool surrounded by bamboo, where goldfinches and orioles provide a natural morning concert. The preserved orangery bears witness to the estate's scientific past, while friendly horses greet visitors at the entrance.

From this haven of peace, discover the authentic fishing port of Sète, just 15 minutes away, or explore the cultural offerings of Montpellier, 20 minutes away. For history buffs, the medieval village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert and the Templar site of La Couvertoirade are ideal excursions.
