General overview
In our house, we are immersed in nature: the large bay windows overlook a beautiful view overlooking the fields, the mountains and the small village.
Rejuvenating place with calm and access to beautiful hikes
The space
Our house is 125m², it is recent (built in 2020), very bright and benefits from a very good orientation.
It is located on a plot of 1000m², not enclosed, partly sloping. With a swing, a small henhouse for our 2 chickens from which you can enjoy the good eggs :-) and a small vegetable garden at your disposal depending on the season.
Hiking trails leave from the house.
The house is located in a very quiet, authentic hamlet, in the heights of our village of 900 inhabitants.
