Ideal investment project Overview Set on a hilltop and surrounded by 19 hectares of fields and woodland, this large stone property is intensely private and yet only a few kilometres from a thriving town with all amenities. It has been in the same family for over twenty years, and they have set their mark on it, notably with the construction of a magnificent indoor swimming pool. Wide, generous terraces on two sides of the property add a luxurious touch to the attractive stone façade. There is a sense that this could once have been a hunting lodge, but it has been added to over the years and has evolved into a comfortable family home with room for large house parties and lots of visitors. The property benefits from high ceilings, large reception rooms, high ceilings and big windows. A long driveway leads up a hill to the house, which is surrounded by mature cedars and other trees. There is ample parking in front of the tall stone gates that frame the entrance to the front terrace. Ground floor The heart of this house is the vast main living room of with its enormous arched windows offering views overlooking the terrace. Light floods in and reflects off the water of the pretty fountain that has been integrated into the room and this, combined with a series of interior arches, adds a Mediterranean feel to the space. This room spans the width of the house and measures over 90 m². It also serves to divide the ground floor into two main areas: on one side is the original front door, now rarely used, and a spacious bedroom suite. On the other side there are a further three reception rooms, including a small sitting room and a formal dining room. This area faces the second large terrace and the views from here are over forested hills. Behind the dining room, and with access to both the front terrace and the swimming pool & basement areas, there is a large kitchen with adjoining breakfast room and fireplace. The kitchen is fully fitted and has enough counter and storage space for the most dedicated cooks. There are also a guest WC and a small laundry room here. A bonus to this property is the ground floor bedroom suite. This includes the bedroom, an attached bathroom, a large dressing, a small sitting room (or why not another bedroom?), and a separate entrance; this is ideal for an older relative or visiting friends. First floor An elegant staircase leads off the main living room and curves around to reach the central landing of the first floor. Here there are high ceilings and polished original parquet floors. The first bedroom on the right-hand side has kept its traditional wallpaper and wide plank floors as well as three large windows. A second bedroom has been hand painted to give the impression of being surrounded by the ocean and boasts a private recently renovated shower room. A door on the left hand side of the landing opens to a smaller hallway that gives access to a third and a fourth bedroom, as well as a bathroom. A further, smaller room serves as a children's playroom but would make an excellent dressing room or even potentially an additional bathroom. First floor annex On the first-floor landing there is also access to an unrenovated wing that could augment the living space by over 150 m². This area has not been updated in many years but could become a granny flat or private guest accommodation. Pool The indoor pool is one of the most striking features of the estate. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the pool house takes its inspiration from the Halle aux Grains in Auvillar. The fan-shaped structure curves around a central pillar, enclosing a beautifully shaped swimming pool with a built-in jacuzzi. Floor-to-ceiling windows slide open in the warmer months, transforming the space into a light-filled private spa. A raised viewing platform provides an ideal spot for a café table or loungers and adds to the luxurious atmosphere. Glass floor to ceiling windows that open in the summer months serve to enhance the feeling of a luxurious private spa. A raised viewing area provides the perfect spot for a café table and chairs. This is a stunning piece of architecture and would make the ideal centrepiece of a hospitality project. Basement A raised viewing platform provides an ideal spot for a café table or loungers and adds to the luxurious atmosphere. From here, stairs lead down to a basement area of over fifty square metres, which includes the boiler room, pool systems and a wine cellar. A partially prepared spa zone also lies beneath the pool, with plumbing already installed for future development Grounds The estate extends across nineteen hectares of forest, pasture and cultivated land, ensuring complete tranquillity and broad panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Its configuration lends itself beautifully to horses, outdoor pursuits or agricultural and eco-tourism initiatives. Here at Bliss There is so much potential in this property and so many possibilities. It would make a wonderful family home, especially for those with horses or other animals. It enjoys lovely views over neighbouring forests and is entirely private.
