THE PROPERTY:
The house is surrounded by approx: 2.5 acres / 1 hectare of private land and benefits from being on elevated ground (the clue is in the address – La Colline!) with splendid views into the valley beyond.
The house is located at the end of a private lane and south facing, so benefits from the sun throughout the day. Its position is well protected from the famous Mistral wind which blows from behind the house.

Maison Mirmande has been recently renovated with great care to maintain the charm of the original features and there still remains much potential to develop the space between the main house and the Annexe.
This space would make an ideal Conservatory or Dining Room, with large French windows at the front and would create the possibility of a floor above, hence joining the 2 houses and creating further Bedrooms.
There is also the opportunity to build on to the back of the Annexe and create several en suite Bathrooms in addition to what exists.
