The magical setting of this property, a converted sawmill, must be seen, or rather experienced, to be fully appreciated. Totally secluded and framed by forested mountains, with a river running through the grounds, the property offers strong potential as a centre of wellbeing or place of retreat (subject to necessary permissions and business registration). In addition to the house and guest annexes, there is a light and airy building, with a wooden floor, beams and large windows and peaceful views. This special space is currently used as a yoga studio, but having its own attached small kitchen and attractive traditional wood burner, it could easily double up as a venue for social gatherings and events. The main house is very much a homely, spacious, living space with a sense of flow between spaces, all of which are pervaded with natural light. The three self-contained guest annexes on the lower ground floor, each with their own outside space, offer ideal accommodation for guests, events and extra income opportunities. The property has been run as a holiday venue for many years (possible gite business - subject to necessary permissions). There are also two additional spaces which suggest exciting conversion possibilities (subject to necessary permissions); a large workshop attached to the house and, in the extensive grounds, a substantial beautifully proportioned, wooden barn. A peaceful atmosphere pervades this property and the living accommodation has a natural relationship with its unique setting. The property does require updating and refurbishment, but lends itself to a creative design with perhaps a Skandi 'vibe' to enhance the property's special connection to Nature.
