Located just outside of central Montepllier, this beautifully restored 19th century farmhouse has undergone a subtle and historically respectful renovation that showcases the beautiful original features and detail while bringing it into the 21st century.
Belonging to the same family since 1905, the former wine estate sits within leafy park like grounds with fruit orchards and a former wind mill on several acres. The two story structure’s stone construction and classic period design are romantic and charming and the house retains its historic integrity both inside and out. The interiors are bright and welcoming with expansive open plan spaces designed with an eye for detail, historical accuracy and fresh modern style. The ground floor houses a large living area with a fun checkerboard patterened tile floor that extends through to a newly modern kitchen and dining area. Upstairs are four bedrooms that can sleep up to ten guests with newly renovated baths and views of the property.
Outside the terrace runs the length of the house and is the perfect place to dine alfresco and enjoy the lush private gardens.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Wifi throughout, TV with DVD player, music/audio deck with Bluetooth. Air conditioning in bedrooms. Optional housekeeping.
