There are 4 separate dwellings on the property, all of which have been fully renovated.
-One 6 bedroom house

2 out of 4 of the properties are currently used as Gites (holiday accommodation).
There is a brand new Biomass heating system that has been installed for the start of 2024 (cost 46,000 euros) which serves all four houses for both hot water and heating.
Note: The new biomass heating system can burn all types of fuel, woodchip, straw, miscanthus, even horse poo! There is enough woodland on the land to sustainably run the boiler every year.
Planning permission has been granted to put solar (10kw) on one of the barn roofs which would be enough to serve the entire estate for most of the year. There are 2 fosse septiques; one which serves the 6 bedroom house and one which serves the other 3 houses. Both are up to date and comply with regulations.

-Farm Walk: The farm walk runs around the outside of the boundary fence (The property has been fenced a few meters inside of the actual boundary to allow space for the walk). This allows guests to walk around the farm without actually being able to enter onto the land . The path is 2km long and is a great attraction for the gite business because no one else in the area has anything like it. There are information boards, games, an animal hunt, swings and a woodland slackline on the walk so there is plenty to see and do for both adults and children.
