Next, we move on to the living areas with a 38m² living room featuring exposed beams, large fireplaces and windows opening onto the incredible terrace and swimming pool at the front.

Back in the entrance hall, we take the staircase leading to the sleeping area with a master bedroom suite and its solarium overlooking the pool! There are three other bedrooms, each with their own shower room, and two separate bedrooms with a shared bathroom.
We now return to the famous terrace, which features a swimming pool, a summer kitchen with a fireplace, a veranda, and a place to relax in the shade of a beautiful olive tree. Who hasn't dreamed of this?
A workshop for storing all your tools and doing DIY projects is adjacent to the summer kitchen.
Further away, under the oak trees, a charming chalet houses a sauna, a bathroom and a relaxation area with a fireplace.
At the rear, in the heart of the building plots, a 45 m² independent dwelling would be perfect for guests, an additional bonus that you will need to refurbish. Another bonus is an adjoining garage and a utility room that complete this space.
