NEW ON - IDYLL IN FRANCE
This stunning property surely is the stuff of dreams.
Nestling up in the hills with stunning views of sweeping countryside, wooded river valleys and rolling hills together with a sleepy village with the church tower in the distance, this is an artist’s heaven. Just look at the photos. The property consists of a fully renovated 6 bedroom farmhouse part of which was once a barn, various stone outbuildings including a stone barn suitable for conversion into a gite, a workshop , a historic ‘pigeonnier’, ancient mill house and bake house. Attached to the house is a vast open fronted stone barn or ‘hangar’ perfect for the cars.
The nearest village with boulangerie, post office and cafe is 5 mins away. The historic riverside market town of St Antonin Noble Val is 15 kms drive and Toulouse airport is 75 mins via the A20 autoroute.
