This is a place where the air exudes calm and gentleness, where the mind is set free, beneath a still, slumbering blue sky, in that southern light which envelops the hills' sparkling hues and blurred contours in a shimmering halo and a spring-like freshness.<BR>Amidst this atmosphere of poetry and emotion, a former silkworm farm stretches out, rustling beneath the legacy of the mulberry trees, all the way to the vegetable garden and its trio of wells. <BR>It has been restored to its former glory, right down to its structural elements, and everything blends authenticity with modernity.<BR>The property has been enhanced with character-filled features from bygone eras, sourced from all over the country: wrought-iron banisters, cast-iron radiators inspired by the Victorian Baroque period, opulent yet understated, and cement tiles featuring geometric patterns…<BR>With approximately 230 m² of living space, the farmhouse offers a beautiful, spacious living area with a cathedral ceiling, featuring Renaissance-inspired mullioned windows, facing the rising sun and offering a panoramic view that sweeps across lovely, partially shaded terraces.<BR>A spacious kitchen with a dining area and an adjoining small lounge, along with two bedrooms that complete this level—one of which features a walk-in wardrobe and a mezzanine—is followed by a separate toilet and a large bathroom with twin washbasins.<BR>On the lower level, nestled around the courtyard, is a covered terrace offering cool respite in summer, along with two separate bedrooms, each with a bathroom—one of which has a toilet—as well as an additional separate shared toilet.<BR>Next is a studio (or an additional bedroom), a space for cultural exchange, learning and sharing, where the artist can retreat and lose themselves in their creative work; this space could be converted into a guesthouse once connected to the bedrooms.<BR>Finally, two cellars, a boiler room and a workshop complete the property.<BR>The farmhouse stands on 8,000m² of land, in complete tranquillity, with no immediate neighbours but without being isolated in the middle of nowhere. It is situated almost at the end of a cul-de-sac, offering absolute peace and quiet and beautiful panoramic views. Subject to planning permission, it would be possible to build a swimming pool.<BR>Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove, as well as two boilers: one wood-fired, the other oil-fired.<BR>Well then, it is time to leave this magical place where one can sense the watery textures of watercolours and the scents of oil paints mingling with a myriad of memories gathered from the nooks and crannies of more than one second-hand shop or flea market stall, all ready to tell extraordinary stories.<BR>A property selected by Botella Real Estate.<BR>Information on the risks associated with this property is available on the Géorisques website.<BR>Agency fees are payable by the vendor.
