This untouched gem offers you privacy and natural beauty, along with an incredible opportunity for future projects.
An Elegant Escape at the Edge of the Village
This south-facing home, gracefully positioned at the edge of the village, offers the perfect blend of seclusion, style, and comfort. Designed for those seeking tranquility, it is an ideal setting for future projects, peaceful retreats or elegant family gatherings.
Enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from the spacious terrace, where every view becomes a moment of serenity. Inside, two cozy bedrooms ensure restful nights, while the lofty, high-ceilinged attic invites creative transformation and upscale expansion.
The highlight? A private cave — an extraordinary feature that brings both character and charm, perfect for unforgettable experiences and lasting family memories.
This could be more than a home. It’s a place where dreams are not only imagined, but lived.
A Home Full of Possibilities, Surprises, and Charm
As you ascend the steps to the main entrance, you arrive at a welcoming terrace that opens up to unforgettable panoramic views — a perfect spot to pause and take in the beauty around you.
Upon entering through the front door, you step into a hallway that leads to three rooms. On the left and right are two spacious, sunlit bedrooms offering comfort and tranquility. Straight ahead, another corridor unfolds, leading you further into the heart of the home.
This second hallway opens to three additional spaces:
To the left — a versatile room that can be adapted to suit your needs, whether as a study, guest room, or creative space.
Straight ahead — a bathroom with toilet.
To the right — a cozy kitchen, where you’ll find a staircase leading to something truly special.
Climbing the stairs reveals a high, open attic stretching over the entire house. With its generous height and space, this area is a blank canvas for your imagination — whether you envision an art studio, a home office, a private library, or a serene retreat.
Beneath the terrace, a large doorway leads to yet another hidden gem: a spacious cellar that spans the entire footprint of the house, offering endless possibilities for storage, a wine room, or even a workshop.
Outside, the large garden offers a flat and usable area perfect for planting, relaxing, or entertaining. The additional outbuildings on the property provide even more functional space — limited only by your vision.
And now, for the most unique feature of all:
Hidden just behind the house is your very own private cave — a rare and fascinating addition. Whether you choose to use it for storage, a natural wine cooler, a summer hideaway, or a cozy place to toast marshmallows under the stars, this cave adds a touch of magic that few properties can offer.
House full of possibilities — a place for relaxation, creativity, and unforgettable memories.
