This is a late 19th-century two-storey village house, in the heart of a sleepy village at the gateway to the Gorges du Verdon. Recently renovated by the current owners, the rustic character and charm of this property has been retained throughout; exposed stone and beams blending well with the simple but stylish modern décor. French doors open from the living room onto the partly covered 5.5m x 3m south facing terrace for meals alfresco. Take a stroll into the village and take a dip in the lake (beach with lifeguard surveillance in summer), or simply sip an aperitif on the terrace whilst enjoying the extensive views, clean air and the tranquillity of this rural village. This is a charming property with rustic character in a delightfully unspoilt location. There are a host of activities that can be enjoyed on the Lac d'Esparron including sailing, canoeing, fishing, pedalos and boat trips; whilst back on dry land pony trekking, cycling and walking are popular throughout the unspoilt Parc Régional du Verdon. The thriving spa town of Gréoux-les-Bains, well-known for the healing properties of its waters, is close by.Featured by VFB for the first time in 2007.
