Well Restored Rural Property

Property Description

Sole Agency - Exceptional situation for this property with over 10 hectares of land under one tenant. The house has seven main rooms, and many original period features.

It is very good condition, with recent geothermal central heating and an in-ground swimming pool added.

There is a private driveway of 200 metres leading to the house, which has no immediate neighbours nor is overlooked.

The house has been lovingly restored by the current owners, to give a comfortable family home, with plenty of living space. The property has plenty of period features including original terracotta tiled floors and wooden beams, as well as thoroughly modern comforts such as geothermal central heating which is very economical to run. A quality system that is very environmentally friendly and cost efficient to run.

The ground floor of the property has a large transversal living/dining room with fireplace. Off of this central room, there is a cosy office, and a spacious hallway leading to the large fitted kitchen, leading out to the covered terrace and outdoor summer kitchen. Off of the kitchen, there is a series of rooms including a wine cellar, storage, a small shower room and WC, boiler room etc.

The four large bedrooms are in the eaves of the house, and all have feature timber framing, and attractive views. The first floor bathroom although modern and practical could probably be upgraded a little to current tastes.

With its own 200 metre driveway, the house is completely private, just surrounded by trees and abundant bird life, with deer as frequent visitors. The pool area is set away from the house, fenced, and also heated, and has lovely views across the wooded valley to the Pyrenees.

The house is extremely private, though not isolated, having some neighbours, but in no way overlooked, and reached by private driveway. The house is surrounded by its own lawns and private woodland, some of it very sloped and some of it gently sloping, that is a haven for wildlife and birds. The property would suit year round or holiday living, for a couple or family, with the emphasis on privacy,tranquility and nature.

The situation of the house and land would lend itself to the installation of wooden cabins, yurts or even tree house type accommodation; there is plenty of space to do this and according to the owners planning permission would be possible.

The woods are not 'manicured' it is natural deciduous woodland, mostly oak, and can be walked through in some places, while others have been left deliberately untouched.

The pool is separate from the house, heated by the same geothermal heating system, and overlooks green valleys and no other houses, it is very private and peaceful.

There are no close roads, high tension electricity pylons or other 'nuisance' factors near to the property.

The property is situated approximately 2km, approx 5 minutes drive, from L'Isle-en-Dodon, an attractive 'bastide' village with shops, services and restaurants.

The general surrounding area is one of gentle green hills and wooded valleys, with abundant wildlife, small rivers and lakes, with the backdrop of the Pyrénées about 1hr 15 minutes' drive to the South. Toulouse, with its historic centre, shopping and culture is approximately 1hr, and there are plenty of cultural and tourist sites within an easy drive, including Roman ruins, medieval villages, outdoor activities (climbing, kayaking, horse riding etc) as well as renowned sites such as St Bertrand du Comminges, Le Pic du Midi, La Cité de l'Espace, etc.
