At distinctive property situated within a hamlet, overlooking the Val de Cère gorge.
A remarkable conversion of a barn and its accompanying guesthouse. The property is situated on a plot measuring 1.2 hectares, featuring an expansive saltwater infinity pool measuring 12x6m.
The restored barn, completed with due sensitivity two decades ago, showcases its stone walls and unique charm, complemented by breathtaking views. Upon crossing the threshold, one is greeted with a sense of tranquility, drawn immediately to the impressive cantou fireplace and then compelled to gaze upward at the majestic cathedral ceiling. The vistas from this space, spanning the valley, are perpetually awe-inspiring in every season—a truly panoramic spectacle.
To one end of the room lies a fully equipped kitchen, while a meticulously crafted spiral metal staircase ascends to a second salon or a home office space, also offering noteworthy views.
Two bedrooms, each with an adjacent bathroom, and a separate WC complete the ground floor.
On the lower ground floor, at garden level, a basement and three cellars are found. One serves as a laundry room with its water heater, another as a wine cellar, and the third as a storage room. Additionally, there is a WC to cater to the pool and terrace areas. A library/home office, boasting 100ms
of shelving for book collections, completes this level. From here, access is granted to the swimming pool, gardens, encompassing 1.2 hectares, and 50 fruit trees—apple, peach, plum, pear, fig, mirabelle—encircling the two structures. A small cellar housing pool equipment is also situated on this level.
Across the gravel courtyard stands the elegant guesthouse, currently utilized by the present owners for rentals (a prospective owner would need to reapply for necessary permissions) and for hosting friends and family. Upon entering through the oak front door, one is welcomed into the salon featuring a cantou, a corner dining room, and an arched stone Souillarde feature leading to a charming, fully equipped kitchen recently refurbished. Two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a WC are also located on the ground floor. The first floor accommodates an additional two bedrooms, a family shower room, and a separate WC. Beneath this house, three cellars house the heating system and fuel tanks for both properties. The central heating system has the capability to independently heat each house or both simultaneously, with the water heater for the guesthouse also situated here.
This 17th-century property, evoking enchantment and lasting delight upon every visit, leaves no room for disappointment. Once witnessed, it is an indelible presence that captivates its new owners throughout the year.
