From the seller :
The property, resembling a small fiefdom, is nestled between vineyards, meadows and fields of wheat, barley and rapeseed. Accessible via an impressive covered carriage entrance with a wrought-iron gate, a courtyard surrounded by buildings includes, on one side, a 16th-century three-storey dwelling built out of sedimentary falun stone and topped with a slate gable roof, the interior spaces of which have been arranged with simplicity in mind: an immense living area and a kitchen on the ground floor, whereas the upper floors contain three bedrooms. On the other side of the carriage entrance is an L-shaped building, which contains a recently renovated, two-storey holiday cottage with two bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor, a covered open area decorated with the works of a local artist, as well as former stables and cowsheds, which are, in turn, extended by a chicken coop. Directly opposite, the property’s current stables are clad in wood siding and contain four horseboxes, while three paddocks are located in the meadows on the southern part of the property. Last, but not least, the estate also includes a swimming pool and a pond, perfectly incorporated within tree-filled grounds of approximately three hectares.
