Midi-Pyrénées, Ariège, Esplas-de-Sérou, France

If you think of a house in the mountains, this house ticks all the right boxes: stone walls, wooden interior, exceptional views, an environment of woods and pastures, and a welcoming home.

At the same time, this is a far cry from the rustic farmhouse!

In fact, three houses and barns have been renovated to architect's specifications to create a home with spacious, light-filled rooms and modern comforts. This is borne out by the EPD, which gives a rare C rating for this type of property. All the fixtures and fittings are recent and of good quality.

With its two living rooms of 36 m² and 58 m², its large kitchen/dining room of 48 m² and its 4 bedrooms, 2 of which have balconies (36 m², 20 m², 15 m² and 47 m²), everyone will be able to enjoy their own space in complete tranquillity.
In addition to the kitchen, there is an adjoining 23 m² room that could easily be used as a storeroom, and a 63 m² boiler room. At the base of the barns are 3 further large areas (29 m², 30 m² and 53 m²) that could be used as cellars, workshops or storage areas.
The 60 m² wooden terrace is another important feature of the house, allowing you to take full advantage of the view over the foothills and to look forward to many convivial moments.

The land around the house, and in the hamlet in general, has retained its authentic character and is still grassed over, just as it was when animals used to graze there every day. What's more, a large part of the land (the least practical because it's steep and broken up) is now given over to livestock farming, on loan to an organic cattle breeder (the cows aren't there all the time, rest assured).

The surroundings are beautiful and unspoilt, and the road to the hamlet is just as beautiful, although some will find it a little narrow, but isn't that a small price to pay for such an authentic property.

A property that is truly full of charm and authenticity, that will delight lovers of beautiful houses for a main or second home.
