The nature house is a renovated in style 'maison de maître', an authentic stone house. The house has history; the 'cave voûté' (vaulted cellar) is from 1660 and there are authentic elements such as a cross and a holy water container in the stone walls of the dining room. The house is tastefully decorated and has two large authentic fireplaces with modern wood burners. The large garden borders the forest and gives a lot of privacy; there are all kinds of fruit and walnut trees. From the house you can see wooded hills all around; you also have a view from the swimming pool. In the main house there are 2 bedrooms (including an attic room), and 2 bathrooms. Separately, 'Pigeonnier' (pigeon tower-annex) has a double bed with kitchenette and shower/toilet, and large garden doors to a private part of the garden. In the barn is a spacious room with bed and view, suitable if the attic room is a bit warm. The residents of the hamlet appreciate peace and privacy (pets by arrangement).
