South-facing and in a dominant position with stunning views over the countryside. Completely private, not overlooked, and absolutely no traffic noise - you'll just hear the birds and local wildlife!

The other three bedrooms share a bathroom with bath, shower and WC, and a further shower room with WC. A fifth bedroom has been created in the partially converted attic. A storage barn 28m² at the ground floor level is ready to be converted according to your project. Overall plot size: just under half an acre (1830m²), comprising the house and a small manageable flat garden with the summer terrace, with safe steps leading down to the pool and a further small flat area, and then a field below the pool area which is currently cut once or twice a year by the local farmer. External parking next to the summer kitchen or just as you come into the hamlet.
The property is close to the popular Lake of Montbel for summer swimming and sailing, 20 minutes from the medieval village of Mirepoix with a large choice of bars and restaurants and many festivals from Easter through to October, and 45 minutes from the local ski station Les Monts d'Olmes. You'll find basic amenities in the nearest village Ste Colombe sur l'Hers 2 minutes from the house (grocer's store which doubles up as a newsagent) and a couple of bar-restaurants, and more shops in nearby Chalabre 15 minutes drive.
