Dry stone and deep shade on two hectares of planted ridge
Villa Auvinel was built in 2008 by an owner who had spent three summers here before drawing anything. The result is a house that behaves like the farm buildings around it: 600 mm stone walls, deep reveals, very little glass facing north, and a loggia along the south elevation that does the work an air-conditioning unit would otherwise do.
The plot runs to just over two hectares, of which one and a half is planted and let on a rolling lease to the producer at the end of the track. That lease is a real document with a real value, and we will show it to a buyer before they decide whether the vines are an asset or a hobby.
The pool sits below the loggia on the second terrace, sited where it is swum in rather than where it photographs. Water is from a borehole licensed in 2006, with mains as a backup; the licence and the last three years of yield readings are with the file.
It is under offer at the asking price. We are still taking second-position registrations, because in this market they are sometimes needed.

Position
Aspect and water
South-facing on the ridge, with the borehole on the north boundary. In the Serrande those two facts set the price before the house does.
Harvest
Machinery uses the ridge track from about five in the morning through late August and September. It lasts five weeks and then the place is silent again.
The vine lease
Rolling three-year term with the producer at the end of the track, currently in its second cycle. Copies go out with the particulars.
