AGENCE HAMILTON CORDES-SUR-CIEL ESTATE AGENCY INVITES YOU TO DISCOVER :
ITZAC - In the village of Itzac, just 10 km from Cordes-sur-Ciel and at the heart of the region's 'golden triangle', this cottage (former sheepfold) with converted dovecote offers an exceptionally appealing setting. The 'wow' factor is guaranteed!
Set within a landscaped garden of around 3,000 m² laid out in traditional stone-walled terraces (restanques/bancals), the property enjoys a favourable east/south-east orientation and open views over the valley below the village. The various buildings and outdoor areas are remarkably well maintained and arranged into several independent, functional and pleasant living spaces.
The estate comprises the former sheepfold, now the main house, a workshop, a double garage, a dovecote converted into an independent gîte with cellar, and a small outbuilding transformed into a guest room.
On the garden level, the main house features a fully equipped kitchen with a wood-burning insert, opening onto the dining area and the outside terrace. The terrace has been fitted out as a delightful summer kitchen, perfect for enjoying fine weather year-round. An adjoining pantry/utility room completes this space.
The bright and cosy living room has been created in the former sheepfold, within a characterful extension featuring a fireplace.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a recently refurbished shower room on the landing, plus a separate WC.
Entirely independent, the old dovecote has been converted into a comfortable and functional self-contained annexe. On the first level it provides a living room with kitchen area and a shower room with WC. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with its own en-suite shower room and WC.
The basement offers a fitted space that serves as an office or additional room, along with a ventilated cellar. With reversible air conditioning, this annexe is a real asset for gîte activity or for comfortably hosting family and friends in complete independence.
A small detached dwelling, around 16 m², has been fully refurbished as a 'chambre d'hôtes' guest room. Perched like a bird's nest beside the terraced garden and immediately next to the pool, it enjoys a particularly pleasant setting and open view. It has a private terrace, a shower room, reversible air conditioning and aluminium double-glazed windows and doors. It can also be used as an independent bedroom for family or guests.
At the back of the garden, behind the dovecote, a small building that has also been entirely rebuilt and insulated has water and electricity. It offers considerable potential and could easily be turned into a second little retreat, in the same spirit as the existing 'chambre d'hôtes'.
The landscaped garden is arranged over several terraces and areas on the old restanques. The swimming pool and the level plateau on which the buildings stand lie within a zone classified as urban (building is possible), while the lower terraces fall within a strict natural or agricultural protection zone.
The property also benefits from:
- A double garage extending the main barn building
- A swimming pool of approximately 8 × 4 m, built with reinforced blockwork and situated on the built-up plateau
- A workshop
- A rainwater harvesting system
- A gravity-fed irrigation system to protect the plantings
- Central heating for the main house and gîte, oil-fired via a Viessmann boiler
- Aluminium double-glazed windows and doors throughout all buildings
- Non-polluting septic-tank drainage
This cleverly and functionally laid-out property will appeal to lovers of authentic places, terraced gardens and open views, seeking a home with immediately exploitable accommodation potential.
The configuration of the dwellings and their complete independence allow for the continuation of hospitality activity in various forms. This layout also offers the possibility of imagining several accommodation options, tailored to the projects and wishes of future owners.
