Description
Have you always dreamt of driving home through the little country lanes bordered by vines, up through the woods, closing the gate and finding yourself in complete peace, surrounded by magnificent countryside, views of 360° all around, with only the sound of birds and cicadas along with the sound of the fountain playing...
Lying on the crest of the hill, without any neighbours, this stone farmhouse whose origins date back to the 18th century, constitutes a true haven of peace for those who want to live surrounded by nature, in peace and quiet, while benefiting from all modern and ecologically friendly comfort. The local village with all commodities, school, is at 7 kms- a quick drive through the vines.
Renovated over the past 40 years, bringing the old farmhouse to life, with love and care, this property embodies a philosophy of living that is equal to today's environmental challenges.
Offering over 300m2 of living space, it stands in the centre of its 4, 9 ha of land.
The main house offers 250m2 with living room, fitted kitchen, study, and four bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
A stunning reception room of 60m2 , with ceilings of 4 mts high, and a vaulted formal dining room, plus a library sitting room on the upper level, opening on to a covered terrace with beautiful views.
Three different terraces, including the main terrace of 80 m2 with its majestic mulberry plane tree in the centre, providing shade on what becomes the main living space for the summer months. The sound of trickling water in the old stone fountain is also very refreshing
Alongside the sparkling, tiled swimming pool, of 11 x 5 mt, the guest house of 50 m2 with a fully fitted kitchen / living room, spacious bathroom with an Italian style shower and a very elegant bedroom opening directly on to the swimming pool terraces, all in burgundy stone.
