Truly unique property with pool, lakes, land & gites

Vidouze, 65

An enchanting setting for a unique property

This very special property is set in almost 20 acres of land at the end of a 500m no-through lane. The house is nestled in perfectly manicured gardens, containing a variety of mature trees, including a cherry tree grove. There are 2 lakes, one complete with a foot bridge to a small wooden lake house. The setting is sublime and is the product of decades of attention to detail by the current owners.

The impressive main house is supplemented by a 2 bedroom apartment with independent entrance and a 3 bedroom gite, which is completely independent and set in its own garden with parking and garage. The pool complex would rival many luxury resorts. The 12×6 metre salt water pool is set in Mediterranean gardens with a large summer house, boules court and bbq area.

The property enjoys an elevated position with uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside there are no neighbours. The surrounding woodland, which belongs to the property is well managed and consists of mainly American oak, French oak and chestnut. There is a water source, which provides a constant supply of water for the garden and the lakes. The property is connected to mains water for domestic use, high speed fibre internet and gas central heating.

The woodland, which protects the property is well maintained and has a water source, which continually supplies the lakes and the garden.
