Beautiful 4-bed maison de maitre, carefully renovated with a great sense of care and consideration for the history of the building. With stunning views of the valley beyond, the gardens are a real feature of the property, beautifully presented with many points of interest. Outbuildings offer the potential to create additional accommodation if required.
Originally built in the 17th century, this beautiful house has a real sense of grandeur and history while the recent renovation work, completed in 2023, means all the mod-cons and creature comforts are in place to make this a very comfortable home, year round. The C-rated energy efficiency certificate is testament to the work the current owners have done.

The grounds are a real highlight of the property. Covering 1.75 acres and divided into several distinct gardens separated by ancient stone walls, there is so much to explore! The swimming pool measures 9m2 and has a particularly attractive surrounding walled garden. There are numerous outbuildings, including two large barns, a traditional stone bread oven, an ancient winery, a workshop and a pretty 55m2 cottage which (once renovated) would be perfect for accommodating paying guests or visiting friends and family.
Location:
