A former corps de ferme with almost 2.5 acres of formal garden situated midway between La Fouillade and Lunac in the south west corner of the Aveyron. The current owners have invested a fortune in the conversion and renovation of this property. The end result is two magnificent, large houses, a fine swimming pool, an equipped gymnasium and magnificent original barn set amongst finely landscaped gardens. Bordering the gardens is a stream which runs into la Sereine river, along the banks of which the property extends. The owners have made maximum use of this “bonus” and have created a magical picnic area amongst the trees.
