In addition, there is an independent one bedroom house (gite) next door, also renovated, with its own gardens, barns and spectacular views.

There are many large barns, in good order, providing you with enormous potential! These could be renovated into several properties or gites (outline planning permission already granted) or they could simply be used as stables/kennels as they were in years gone by - with over 1000m2 of barn space, there are truly endless other possibilities!

From the moment you enter through the large wrought iron gates you feel a sense of tranquillity in the beautiful enclosed courtyard garden with fruit trees, old grape vines and a large above ground pool in a private sunny corner. A large walled field behind the property contains more established fruit trees, a large organic vegetable garden with cute potting sheds and even a 'Pitch and putt'!
