Situated less than 5 minutes by car from the nearest supermarket this super property is alongside a small road in a small calm hamlet of just a few houses with views over the lawns and towards the surrounding countryside and the vineyards.
It comprises a main house constructed in the 1950's, completely renovated, including a large new extension, to the standards of today. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an office, a large living with nice view over the countryside, modern kitchen, utility room and garage.
Terraces around the house
The main house has lots of light due to its large double glazed windows and has been built with hollow brick walls that have been properly insulated on the internal walls, The extension is constructed with Monomur ensuring a good insulation of the building and also very practical in hot summers. All of the works have been carried to a high standard down to the aluminium shutters on the west facing elevations.
There is an attic of about 80m2 for storage; height in the middle about 220 cm.
The second, completely renovated stone house, originating from 1799, is located on the far side of the traditional outbuildings and comprises three bedrooms with one bathroom and two WC's and a large modern kitchen. It will be left completely furnished, so perfect for someone who wants to have a gite. This building is also fully insulated for winter and summer.
Next to this stone house are extensive old winemakers buildings, a workshop, together with a covered terrace, lawns, gardens and a small plantation all extending to about 8,788 m2 of land.
All the buildings have lots of potential and date from the 19th century and have all been re roofed by the current owners. There are four original huge wine vats on the lower building and the adjoining one could be used as a garage with a workshop. A covered terrace completes these outbuildings and gives access to an open terrace and up to the side of the house.
In the gardens, there is a well, an old potager, lawns and many shrubs with views over the countryside towards the west as well as lots of parking for a number of cars and a plantation with cedar trees which gives privacy on the east elevation of the property. This plot has its own separate access ( for cars, tractors etc. ) onto the road through the village.
The C rating for the DPE shows the level of insulation in the house and together with the central heating system, there are also two wood burners which provide an extra level of comfort, especially in the shoulder seasons.
The school bus collects from the main road D964, which is also a short bicycle ride away for the shops (e. g. Intermarche supermarket) for those who prefer to cycle to pick up their groceries (about a 15 minute cycle ride).

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
