Set within a rolling landscape, the property, perched on a rocky outcrop, overlooks the valley and the nearby river that borders the estate to the southeast. Accessible from the north via a drive that passes, on the right, garages carved out of the rock as well as the large openings of the former 5,000-m² quarries, which, more recently, have been used to grow mushrooms, it then ascends to the centre of the six-dwelling complex. The main dwelling is positioned in the middle, with a raised bakehouse to the east, while four dwellings skirt the promontory to the south and a last one is located to the north, as is a converted greenhouse to the northwest.
At the foot of the rocky outcrop, two large openings lead to underground galleries of 600 m² and six springs, surrounded by large ashlar stones, are scattered throughout the meadow to the south that reaches all the way to the base of a cliff. In addition, vast meadows surrounded by woodland extend to the north of the building complex.
