The Villa....

This unique property is located high on the hills above the town of Tallard in the Hautes Alpes.
It was originally just one stone house but has evolved and grown over time and is now composed of 2 interconnected houses and an independent barn which could be developed in to another stand alone house or gite.
The buildings sit on over 18,000 m2 of land which look down over the durance valley.
The main building descends over many levels to the principle living space which is a large open plan lounge / dining room with open fireplace. This part of the house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is on the same level as the living area and like most of the other rooms, has integrated cupboards made from solid hardwood that were purpose built for the property. The property is equiped with fibre optic communications.
There are several terraces and balconies that over look the garden, all connected via external stone steps and pathways. There is a vast cave on the lowest level, which houses the fuel boiler and another separate cellar for storage.
The top level of the property has 3 bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen, all of which require decoration.
This part of the building also has a working well which is still used to water the gardens.

The terraced gardens have large lawns and bush rows with a variety of pine trees. There is a heated swimming pool and a gated entrance that allows access for cars.

On the upper parcel of land near to the road is a large barn which has a total area of 130 m2. It has electric and water and can easily be renovated to become either an annexe to the main villa or gite. This building also has wonerful views over the land and valley below.

This is a very unique property in a remarkable setting at the foot hills of the French Alps.

There is an adjacent plot of land which has a large garage which can also be acquired if so desired. The garage is on 2 floors and could be made in to another small house.
