Property description
The heart of this house is an 18th Century stone bergerie with bags of character, that has been extended over the years and thoroughly modernised by the present owners in 2000. It enjoys an elevated position with superb south & west views, looking across to the village of Bar sur Loup, overlooking the vast valley below and the hills above, with the old village of Gourdon perched up high, dominating the Gorges du Loup. A major attraction is its garden, wisely and abundantly planted about 20 years ago so that now it has a wonderful selection of mature Mediterranean trees, shrubs & flowering plants that bloom throughout the year.
Location: 5 mins from the villages of Tourrettes sur Loup and Bar sur Loup; 10 mins from Vence; 25 mins from Nice airport. There is a bus stop nearby, for buses to Tourrettes & Vence in one direction, and to Bar & Grasse in the other direction.
