Hus for Køb i Villecomtal-sur-Arros, Occitanie

This 4 bed farmhouse has just over an acre garden with a large swimming pool and lovely views towards the Pyrenees, however, if you are a keen walker, there is 300+hectare forest on the doorstep for you to explore. At its heart, this is a period farmhouse built in 1852, incorporating parts of an earlier dwelling, now skill-fully enlarged with contemporary extensions giving a huge amount of light to the accommodation. The property is in excellent structural order and easy to maintain as a permanent home with air-source heat pumps providing economical hot water and central heating, under-floor throughout much of the ground floor. With 360m2 habitable space including a sitting room, music room, library, dining room & games room, the property is ideal for large gatherings of family and friends and with the modern creature comforts, it is very comfortable for year round use.
