With its enclosed courtyard and physical position, it is easy to imagine the property dates back to the days of fortified Château, and one can actually see the nearby ruin of a Château across the valley. Approached via a long driveway, the property is entered by a stone archway opening into a beautiful courtyard. To one side is the house and to the other sides are the outbuildings including a pigeonnier, workshop, garage, wine chai (with original pressoir) and vast cellar.

Barn

There is a further stone barn which stands alone and is ideal for storage of large items or indeed would convert to provide a substantial house. Measuring 17 x 17m it could provide a comfortable 4/5 bedroom house on 2 floors. It also benefits from the lovely south facing views across the valley.

Adjacent to the barn there is a small stone building which was formerly the pig sty.
