The house itself in in excellent condition, the roof is new, and it is solidly built in stones. Built around 1880, the interior is in need of modernization, the owner was an older person, and now the house has stood empty for a few years. Located on a country lane, it is quiet but not isolated. However, with a little updating, and a new bathroom and kitchen, it would make a superb manor style house, in a quiet countryside, but only a few kms from the center of Reillanne. There is a superb oak staircase with its beautiful original banister, some of the rooms had been divided, and may be restored to their original sizes. Fireplace with insert in the living room. The septic tank has been replaced. Main bedroom, opening on the park, bathroom are on the ground floor. Three bedrooms upstairs, and an additional small room, which could be converted into another bath. The attic as stand-up room and could also be converted into a loft. There is a forced-air heating system, but it also needs updating. The garden is an absolute paradise, with rare species of trees and ornemental bushes, the owner was an avid and well known botanist.
