There is a further piece of land the other side of the river belonging to the property. At the other end of the plot lies the pool, 16 x 8m, surrounded by a paved sun terrace with shower.

The pool is in excellent order and had a new liner in early 2014. The property also benefits from a natural spring which is used to fill the pool, a great saving on water costs.
