Property Description
Bel'Maison has the privilege of presenting this beautifully renovated former wine farm.
Until recently, the property was run as a Bed & Breakfast and received an excellent visitor rating due to the hospitality of the owners, the beautiful setting and its good location 5 minutes from Castelnau-de-Montmiral (one of the most beautiful villages in France).
The farmhouse was renovated from top to bottom by the current owners. No expense or effort was spared. Everywhere you look, you will find quality materials. The house has been adapted to modern conveniences, without neglecting the traditional elements: The authentic window frame, wash basin, the window openings, ...
In total, you have 250m2 of living space at your disposal.
On the ground floor you will find 2 spacious living rooms with wood stoves, a fitted kitchen, office with fireplace, laundry room and a small bathroom.
Upstairs 3 large rooms (17 to 31m2) each with an individual bathroom. Via a staircase in the 2nd living room you have access to a 4th room, again with its own bathroom.
The layout outside has also been well thought out. You arrive via a nice driveway that leads you past the planted (fruit) orchard. Just behind the wrought iron entrance gate you will find sufficient parking space for 5 vehicles and you have access to the northwest-facing summer terrace or the southeast-facing courtyard. So you can enjoy the first rays of sunshine or cool off from the hot summer sun, depending on the season. You can also cool off in the 5x10 swimming pool.
Ecology also has its place in this home: a buried rainwater tank of 16,000L as well as a romantic operational water well ensure that you can water the garden all year round without any worries. A solar boiler provides hot water in 3 of the 5 bathrooms as well as the kitchen. Heating can be done as desired with the wood stoves or with the high-efficiency gas boiler. The house can be split into 2 independent living units without heavy structural work: The main residence with 3 bedrooms & bathrooms and an independent gite with 2 bedrooms & bathrooms.
In short, the perfect home as a permanent residence, holiday home or chambre d'hôte / gite - project.
