It accommodates modern needs without sacrificing the charm that makes it unique. An important note, for those interested, the property features several outbuildings ripe for conversion. Whether you dream of creating additional living space, artist studios, or rental accommodations, the foundation is laid for you to bring these projects to life.

For relaxation under the sun, a swimming pool graces the property alongside a terrace and pétanque court—a traditional French game much like bocce ball—providing recreation right at your doorstep.
