Beautiful Charming House between History and Art of Living

Property Description

Located a few steps from the center of Calvisson en Vaunage, this historic residence combines old character and contemporary comfort. A former priory from the eleventh century, the property now offers a rare living or holiday setting, between Montpellier and Nîmes. Carefully restored by its owners for nearly twenty years, this stone house of approximately 300m² of living space opens onto three levels and is part of a landscaped environment of more than 800 m². It retains the original architectural elements while incorporating contemporary and elegant layouts.
A quality catering, designed with respect for the spirit of the place.
A lot of work has been carried out over the last five years:
- Renovation of the bathroom in the master suite (2020), entrusted to an architect and carried out by a Compagnon du Devoir.
- Redevelopment of the garden (2021) and complete transformation of the swimming pool (2023): natural travertine deck, new flat-bottomed masonry tank, reinforced liner, salt filtration with automated system.
- Renovation of the Saint-Tropez terrace (2024) and the laundry/storage room (2024).
- Kitchen completely refurbished and redesigned in 2024, new standing seam copper roof.
- Two roofs refurbished by a Compagnon du Devoir (2024).
Generous and modular living spaces.
The entrance to the house, remarkable for its volumes and its dressed stone staircase, sets the tone: here, history is lived on a daily basis. A period fireplace, a high window and a glazed transom give this room a solemn and bright character. The ground floor offers a large living room in a row: living room, dining room, billiard area, extended by the kitchen with a view of the swimming pool. The layout allows you to receive family and friends in a friendly setting without compromising everyone's privacy. The adjoining courtyard, a real outdoor lounge, extends this living space. Shady and carefully decorated, it offers a pleasant setting at any time, whether for lunch, a moment of reading or a summer aperitif in the shelter of the garden's famous mulberry tree.
A floor designed for rest and the view.
Upstairs, a long corridor leads to the bedrooms:
- Two adjoining rooms, one of which has a fireplace and mezzanine, opening onto a large terrace with a view of the countryside and the Oppidum of Nages-et-Solorgues.
- A master suite with mezzanine shower room, accessible by a perforated sheet metal staircase, in a design and refined spirit.
- An office and a bedroom under the roof complete this sleeping area, with bathroom and separate toilet.
A privileged environment, between nature and accessibility.

Unobstructed view of the hills, 10x4m swimming pool, numerous outdoor spaces and several annexes (pool enclosure, technical room, boiler room, laundry room, outdoor WC etc.).
