Γενική περιγραφή
The property is delightfully placed in le Parc Naturel Regional du Haut-Languedoc in the Tarn (department 81) near Castres in la Montagne Noire (Black mountains) at an altitude of between 650 to 700m. It is situated in the country, is private and enjoys quietness and tranquillity. There is a small village 3km (2 miles) away with village shop, bar and postal facilities.
The property is relatively unique in that it is one of the few private properties in the area which has forests/woods principally made up of deciduous trees:- oak, beech,ash, sweet chestnut, with a few pines. The emphasis around here is for 100% pines as a commercial crop. We have approx 50Has of forest (120acres) which provides us with wood fuel for the under floor heating in the main house (supplemented by a large wood burning stove in the salon) and a stove in the Bergerie. The remaining land of 39Has is essentially grass fields giving a harvest of between 250 large round bales (225kg +/-) depending on the summer. Thus we have 89Has (225acres) of bio land as it has had no chemicals on it for at least 20 years. Some of the land needs improvement to remove overgrown scrub etc. And there is an ongoing policy of cleaning broom, gorse and bracken.
The soil is extremely good and quick draining with a depth of top layer up to several feet. The previous owner used to grow crops of oats on one 4 Ha field.
The land gives us a very large amount of animal life from wild boar, deer, pine martens to hares and rabbits and for us the rather special salamanders. The bird life is amazing, both migratory all all the year round and we have large breeding areas for butterflies and dragonflies, and a 15Ha field which in the Spring gives us at least 12 varieties of wild orchids.
There is an abundance of ponds, springs and streams. The domestic water is from a source close to the house, the overflow feeding an ornamental pond.
There are 6 solar panels for domestic hot water, mainly in the summer, but also to augment the woodburning under floor heating heating system in the rest of the year.
