A house of character that will appeal to lovers of old stone and heritage looking for an authentic place, whether as a main residence or a family home.

With approximately 500 sqm of living space, this remarkable 17th-century dwelling stands out for its historic architecture, generous proportions and preserved character. Built along a very old road, this imposing ensemble is enclosed by walls that give it privacy and authenticity.
Its outbuildings, true witnesses to a rich past, form a highly coherent architectural ensemble: a former still house, sheepfold, bread oven and wine storehouses (chais) are set around a courtyard closed by majestic, dated round-arched gateways adorned with a frieze and a pediment.
Well maintained, with a fireplace in every room, the house reveals from the entrance a warm and distinctive atmosphere, where old materials and period features have retained all their authenticity.
On the ground floor, an entrance hall with the staircase and a small study leads on one side to a vast drawing room with antique terracotta tiles, enhanced by exposed beams and two fireplaces.
Extending from the entrance hall, a huge formal dining room opens onto the south-west-facing garden.
Next come a kitchen and a second dining room en enfilade; together they form the reception and living areas.
Completing the ground floor, a vestibule also serves an independent suite of approximately 40 sqm, offering the possibility of a self-contained apartment. It comprises a living room with kitchenette, a bedroom and a shower room.
Upstairs, with wooden floors throughout, a corridor leads to the sleeping quarters with four fine bedrooms, including an elegant master suite with bathroom, shower, toilet and a large dressing room.
A second bathroom, a separate toilet and an additional 8 sqm room complete this floor.

The many outbuildings, totalling 500 sqm, form a vast enclosed courtyard with the dwelling, graced by a magnificent Canadian maple. They comprise:
– a large garage with a concrete slab that comfortably accommodates two vehicles;
– a cowshed in poor condition (floor and stalls to be replaced);
– a lean-to used as a woodshed;
– a bread oven in working order;
– stables to be restored, with damaged walls and stalls;
– a workshop in usable condition;
– two wine storehouses (chais) with beaten-earth floors;
– a functional vaulted cellar;
– a henhouse in good condition.

Covering a total of 6,300 sqm, the grounds are divided between the outbuildings courtyard, covering 1,300 sqm and facing north-east, and, on the other side of the dwelling, a 4,000 sqm ornamental garden opening to the south-west.
They are planted with several trees, as well as a few fruit trees, and include a henhouse.
