Double doors lead through to a modern kitchen and living area with a large central island and plenty of work surface for any keen cooks. Another terrace to the side of the kitchen, with a wisteria, provides a shady spot to enjoy a meal or an evening drink. A utility room and additional downstairs toilet adjoin the kitchen. Behind the main living space is another room that has an independent entrance and is currently used as a games room but could serve as a garage or for storage.

There are two first floor areas at either end of the house, perfect to maintain privacy for guests or for older children. The master suite has beautiful views and a generous bathroom. The other two bedrooms, one with a mezzanine and bathroom, on the other side of the house and boasts equally impressive vistas of the mountains and surrounding countryside.

A short distance from the main house, beyond the kitchen terrace, is the renovated pool house. This would be ideal to rent out as a gîte or for family/guests who come to visit and need a little more independence. An open living/dining room with corner kitchen has doors out onto the terrace above the pool, as do the two bedrooms each decorated in their own unique style. The larger end bedroom has its own bathroom, and a separate toilet makes the property ideal for a family of four.

The pool is a highlight of the property, surrounded by greenery and mature trees, it is the perfect spot to relax at the end of a warm day, or enjoy an aperitif under the cabana on a summer’s evening.

A separate drive leads to the rear of the third house where there is a double garage and plenty of parking. Inside a generous entrance hall with high ceilings welcomes you into this modern property. The main living area with doors out onto the front terrace is filled with light and ideal for combining a living room with a dance or yoga studio or home office. There is also the possibility to add a division to create an additional bedroom- the building was designed with this in mind.

The kitchen diner also has access onto the terrace, making al fresco dining an easy choice. All the rooms benefit from high ceilings, giving the property a spacious and airy feel. At the far end of the property is the bedroom and bathroom, again there is access onto the terrace and stunning views to wake up to in the morning.

The gardens immediately surrounding the houses are full of flowering bushes, trees, and established plants. A hedge separates the main house and pool house from the third house on the hillside above.
