Property Description:
Set high on a ridge, the house enjoys commanding views over woodland, vineyards, a church, a lake, and the mountains.

Accessed via electric gates, the property opens onto a mature garden surrounding a
gravel parking area. There is a covered shelter and an unfinished garage, behind which are two large dog enclosures. Both areas are connected to water and electricity.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with oak flooring, leading to the tower space with its four tall windows.

The cathedral-style living room features impressive oak beams, honey-coloured oak floors, and French doors opening onto the south-west-facing “sunset” terrace.
Semi-open to the living room, the country-style kitchen is served by a pantry/utility room and has French doors opening onto the south-east-facing covered terrace.

The main bedroom (27 m²) has French doors onto the south-east terrace, a dressing room, and an en-suite shower room.

Two additional bedrooms, each with their own en-suite shower room, are also accessed from the central hallway.

Outside, you will find the panoramic wraparound terrace, an above-ground swimming pool, and a very large, mature, enclosed garden with raised beds, a greenhouse, and an orchard, all leading down to private woodland. The total land area is 12,768 m².

Below the living accommodation is a large basement garage with a separate workshop and a temperature-stable “cave”, along with ventilation spaces throughout.

With only one neighbour on the far side of the garden (over 100 metres away), this property offers space, tranquillity, and charm.

The house benefits from double glazing, insulation, thermodynamic hot water heating, two wood-burning stoves, electric heating, and photovoltaic solar panels producing electricity for personal use, as well as an annual income from surplus electricity resale (approximately €400 per year).
