The extensive basement boasts an air-conditioned wine cellar for optimal wine preservation, accompanied by an original lower-level wine cellar, workshop areas, and ample storage for gardening equipment and mowers. The Grounds: Spanning 13 hectares (approx 32 acres) of former historic vineyards and storied cedar trees, the estate's outdoor spaces include a 6 x 17-meter infinity pool and a petite vineyard cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes for enjoying the estate’s own harvest. Enhancing the estate’s natural beauty are two tranquil ponds, one nourished by a natural spring, and a charming pigeonnier nestled amongst the gardens.
