REDUCED in price - Renovated Bastide nestled in 7 hectares of vines, olives and gardens / terrace. This is a beautifully renovated rustic Bastide Property valued at 1200000.00 Still with great potential, and not like the usual 'passoire thermique' translated as a heat sieve to leak heat at a b rating.  2 kms from Correns, a village well known to a few Hollywood famous stars and e-commerce wealthy names who are pushing prices up but our running costs 90 euros per month.

The main works have been finished all that is necessary is to put your own personal touch. All renovations have been tastefully undertaken in keeping with the original building in mind, whilst incorporating modern touches. Embrace French country living by surrounding yourself with fully functioning olive groves and vines. This secluded piece of paradise is a large family home and offers a private man made pool (which is not affected by any drought restrictions as we have our own water supply) and a natural living pool at the back of the property.

The property has been thoughtfully renovated to offer the owners a private part of the house whilst providing a lucrative business opportunity with an adjoining 2 bedroom 2 shower room gite. It comes with an income of approx 2000 euros per year from the photo-voltaique panels at a very advantageous rate which we can pass on plus an income from renting to the two bedroomed gite. Not too isolated for security and access by emergency services but private and secluded.

- Grounds and Driveway: the property with its own private entrance is situated at the top of a steep incline, to include the olive groves on the way up to the house whilst also giving spectacular views across the valley. The driveway leading up to the house and the surrounding parking has been recently renovated to ensure the property is easily accessible whilst maintaining an element of privacy. Parking available for 7 plus cars to include newly added car ports that give much needed shade in the summer months.

Moving up to the Mediterranean style terrace that provides a shaded eating area and summer kitchen. The level above this has a fenced and electrically covered pool with views of the vines on the terrace above this. The vines are currently maintained by a vigneron and form part of the organic caveau Vignerons de Correns and bring in an income of wine.

The property is situated to be protected from flooding and th surrounding forrest has been maintained to create a fire barrier. There is a large natural pool supplied by a spring but at the moment due to the drought in France the stream is not supplied by the springs - one has come back as will the others and they will fill the stream. There is a large vaulted cellar that has had some minor modifications done (with 4 original wine vats in situ) this could easily be converted into a sauna / gym. Work has been done next to it to create a racked wine cellar and a work shop.

- Ground floor: The main house is split over 2 levels with the front door still the original to the building. The main hallway has a number of rooms leading off it, the first being the kitchen. The kitchen has been designed to offer a connecting entry to the dining room and also has access directly out to the terrace and summer kitchen. The dining room area offers spectacular views of the valley below that diners can enjoy. The dining room opens up to the lounge that has been lovingly renovated with the original working fireplace. The dining room could also just be part of a very large living room. Moving across hall you will find the family room with working fireplace that gives you access to a downstairs cloak room and under stairs storage, this could also be  the dining room if you wanted.

Plus access to an office with a small kitchen a bed room and a shower room also part of the extensive renovations the current owners have incorporated a technical room which is situated off the family room. This room was created to house all of the mechanics needed to ensure the house functions efficiently. In this room you will find the central heating system which is supplied by an eco-friendly wood burning furnace that also runs on a pellet system but can also use wood from the property’s surrounding forest.

A solar powered system amply supplies all the hot water that the five bathrooms in the house require. The water for the property is from a naturally sourced well and is treated via a UV system. The property has been fitted with photovotaique panels to generate electricity and has been also providing the current owners with an additional income.

During the renovations the current owners ensured that the house was fitted with additional insulation which not only provides natural cooling during the hot summers but also insulates from the cold during the winter and ensures that there are no leaks of heat or draughts. Due to the naturally clement weather, that is the norm in the South of France the heating is only needed from the end of October until mid March. As part of the extensive renovations the house has also undergone a new roof and windows throughout. Running costs under 90 euros p.c.m. This house is ideal for a German / Dutch / Scandinavian / British or American family who would appreciate and see how it functions.

- First Floor: The ground floor entrance leads up to the sweeping staircase with a high ceiling all the way up to the first floor. At the top of stairs  you will find the master bathroom with walk in shower, his and hers sinks and a stand alone bath that you can relax in and overlook the terraces and pool. Off the first floor landing you have access to the master bedroom and second double bedroom with en-suite in the main house. The spacious master bedroom has a floor to ceiling wardrobe, a working fireplace and possibility to have a super king size bed with plenty of space to make a relaxing reading area over looking the valley below. The second bedroom is equally spacious, again as a generous double bedroom with working fireplace and shower room. The second bedroom also has access to a concealed stairway that would lead you back down to the family room on the ground floor. Down a secret staircase to an office, small kitchen, bedroom and shower room. This also communicates directly to the winter parlour.  

- Guest Gites: Overlooking part of the Mediterranean terrace the property offers an annex to the main house. This comprises a lounge diner, separate kitchen, 2 spacious bedrooms  and 2 shower rooms. It has a large covered terrace and separate entrance. The gite is located away from the main entrance but could still be connected to the main house. Offering an attractive private terrace that opens up in to a spacious living area with kitchen off. 

All the properties could be made into one or alternatively could house two families. There is also a separate laundry room.
