Sitting independently on land of 1,643 m2, this attractive, renovated Farmhouse offers spacious living areas, with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, outbuildings, wine cellar, and a well-planned garden surrounding the property.

The garden also contains a very productive vegetable plot, various fruit trees and bushes, a herb garden, a rockery, a chicken coop with enclosed run and a composting area.
