North of Montpellier · Assas
A village of character in the countryside north-east of Montpellier. A house devoted to the luxury villas of Assas, from the château to the farmhouses and estates on vast grounds.
To entrust a farmhouse or an estate in Assas is to entrust far more than a rental asset: a heritage set on vast grounds, at the heart of the countryside, that one wishes to preserve in its authenticity. Le 17ème Parallèle looks after and manages it as a first-rank estate, with an intimate knowledge of the town.
Assas is a village of character nestled in the countryside north-east of Montpellier, where the garrigue and the vines make up a preserved landscape. People come here in search of absolute calm, the space of large properties and the authenticity of a village that has crossed the centuries without losing any of its soul, while remaining minutes from the city. It is a rare, discreet address, for those who seek tranquillity without isolation.
The village is organised around the château of Assas, a listed monument that gives the town its prestige and its memory. All around, the farmhouses and estates spread over vast grounds sit within an environment of garrigue and vines, away from any density. Here, space is the first wealth: large plots, stone dwellings and absolute calm define an art of living that few towns can still offer on the edge of Montpellier.
A property of this kind calls for management that matches it. A farmhouse or an estate on large grounds deteriorates faster than it appears to when left little occupied: upkeep of the outdoor spaces and the vines, watch over periods of absence, maintenance of the equipment, meticulous preparation before every visit. It is precisely in this continuity of care that the preservation of value is decided, season after season, in Assas as in the neighbouring towns of Prades-le-Lez and Saint-Clément-de-Rivière.
An estate in Assas is nothing like an ordinary property: its vast grounds, its outbuildings, sometimes its vines, form a whole that calls for care conceived over the long term. The owners we support here seek above all peace of mind: to know that their farmhouse is watched over, maintained and ready to welcome them at any moment, without having to orchestrate the craftsmen, the seasons and the logistics themselves. In this preserved countryside, where calm is the first value, our regular presence ensures that a rare property stays that way, and that nothing of what makes its character is lost with time.

The difference comes down to a single sentence: where generalist concierge firms handle everything from the student studio to the villa, chasing volume, we manage only a restricted circle of exceptional residences. In Assas, that means a single point of contact who knows your farmhouse and its lands, hand-picked providers, and a discretion that matters to owners attached to their private life. We think as guardians of an estate, not as managers of flow.
