Property description

The origins of this property date back to a 16th Century watch tower for the local bastide village and a 18th century barn. It has been totally rebuilt encompassing many eco-friendly ideas making the end result a spacious, light contemporary home set high on a hill with far reaching views over the Vére valley and the Forest de Grèsigne. 2 minutes from the village and amenities of Castelnau de Montmiral, only 50 minutes to Toulouse.

The property, recently completed, has been thoughtfully laid out to make full use of the various terraces around the house at different times of the day. The eco-friendly aspects such as hemp insulation, geothermic heating system and full double glazing mean that the running costs of this property are a fraction of most buildings of this size.
