Besides a beautiful Chateau with its relaxing park, the domain offers plenty of features such as:
- River with water all year round crosses the property at its length of about 2km
- More then 12km of tracks on the property, ideal for the training of endurance horses - galloping on 2km
- Wildlife and nature varied and preserved
- Real garrigue with thyme and its herbs and bushes, totally unexpected here
- A richer soil and vegetation compared to the area and altitude
- Pockets of sand with shells like on the seaside
- The olive grove which has been abandoned for 50 years gives every year more and more oil with the label 'vierge extra qualit suprieure'
- Water: 2 inexhaustible sources of which one is captured by a beautiful grotto. A well is fed by the river. Further the source is filling up a basin of more then 200m3\\. This water is used for the farming needs, the horses and irrigation.
- The buildings benefit from town water. There are 3 septic tanks with partly in need of work.

The property is in very good condition. The Chateau was renovated in 2007 as well as the attached gite. All original features are still in place and in very good condition, such as lovely floor tiles, fireplaces, wooden panelling etc. The bedrooms have nice oak floors and some have marble fireplaces. All bedrooms have a TV, phone connection and WiFi with enough further sockets. Electric heating, wooden joinery simple glazed, wooden shutters. The apartment attached to the Chateau has the same beautiful oak floors and the bedrooms propose the same standing as in the Chateau. The 3 bedroom apartment is in good condition, but would benefit from an upgrade of the shower room and some repainting. The last apartment is just about habitable for urgencies, it needs total renovation. The 2 apartments have central heating by wood which can be switched to fuel. There are solar panels for the hot water. The agriculture buildings are all in very good condition and sound.

Comments:
A charming property surrounded by lovely countryside. This area is ideal for a lover of country life with an equestrian business, gites and B&B, a farmer or just for a luxury private use without any commercial background. There are plenty of completely different development possibilities or a mixture of them.
