Can easily put a couple floors and a flat roof with a terrace on the roof to enjoy the wonderful views.
There is a tower on each side, each tower has a couple floors and in one of the towers there is the old chapel.

Beautiful gardens with mature trees and wonderful views, a salt water pool( 8m x 8M ), a well and a garage.

This property has been well insulated, the roof in good condition and the main part of the house is heated and cooled via a heat pump. the property is connected to the main drains and there is the fiber optic. Lots of potential for this property and lots of room to put your own imprint on it.
The first floor is actually separate but the stairs can easliy be put back into place to joins the 2 floors.
Wonderful for bed n breakfast or gites or simply a lovely large family home for family and friends.
