|
The property is a carefully renovated natural stone farmhouse (built in 1796) and standing in 11 acres of terraced olive-groves at over 500m above sea-level, in the commune of Mons, near Fayence - away from it all. The house (a perfect rectangle on 3 floors) faces south-east and its terraced patio is covered by beautiful vines supported by a wooden pergola. It comprises a living room, kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, 2 double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the first floor and 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor. This house has been modernised and tastefully decorated, but retains many old and traditional features (terracotta and stone floors, beams, shutters) and is full of rural charm. The windows have blue wooden shutters. There is a 10x5m outdoor private swimming-pool and a breathtaking open view over the hills. There are no immediate neighbours. The location is ideal for those who want to get away from it all.
