The house was constructed circa 1820 and then remodelled in the early 20th century. It is in extremely good condition and no renovation is required. Many traditional features have been retained such as beamed ceilings, parquet or tiled floors and exposed woodwork. A second building, also of about 250m² was added in about 1920 to the rear of the property, giving the ensemble an “L” shape. A long sweeping driveway (about 300m) runs through the land up to the main house Local Information The nearest village is about 1 km away. Here are to be found a bar/restaurant, small hotels, church, primary school and a tennis club. The nearest town is about 3 kms away.

The Land The property sits in 8 hectares of flat land, of which 1.5 hectares are plantation woodland and about 5.5 hectares are pasture. There are pretty garden areas to both the front and rear of the house. An underground stream rises on, and flows through the land, creating a large natural pond. Water is pumped from here to a sprinkling system. It is also connected to the house so it would be possible to run the house on the source water, subject to the appropriate tests (the house, however, has mains water). There is also a well. At present, five paddocks have been created with electric fencing. It would be possible to create several more. One field shelter 4m x 5m has been constructed Most of the woodland is a pine plantation. The present owners’ horses use this to graze in the shade during hot summer days. There are no near neighbours. |
