Grounds:
The property is 7134m2 large and the Maison de Maître divides it in an upper part with most of the large trees such as the oak, pine of Provence and the umbrella pine trees. The lower part is more a garden with flowers and bushes but features the incredible 800 years old Lebanese Cedar which is of course protected. Further truffles are as well embellishing this property. The maintenance of the park is fairly easy. Town water and town sewerage.

General condition
It is a nice and respectful renovation with good finishings, mostly travertine has been used for the shower rooms. Wifi is in all rooms and pool and orangerie area available, TV in each room too. All the installation for water and electricity is redone. Fuel central heating, simple glazed wooden windows. Nowadays are grants available for registered habitants for this kind of work, such as replacement of fuel to exchange pomp, changing windows. The wooden shutters would benefit from sanding and repainting. Important information: Simply replacing the oil-fired boiler with a heat pump would allow the energy rating to improve to either B or C, according to a professional.

Comment
A beautifully renovated charming Maison de Maître with bright rooms facing the sun and offering lovely views from everywhere. Shops and restaurants at walking distance, a lively place all year round, plenty of sites to be visited in the area. Could be a rental business with great income potential or a lovely family home, still with letting income from the independent apartments if not used for extended family. The composition and possibilities with the location and authenticity are unique, a property to fall in love with!
