Beautifully restored Farmhouse in the heart of the countryside with private pool

Tinteillac is a sprawling 340 square foot, masterfully renovated farmhouse with many original features, including massive rustic wooden beams, mezzanines and a pigeonnaire. Take your morning tea on the front patio in the sunshine, overlooking the extensive grounds and rambling French countryside. Spend time in the secluded pool or reading peacefully nearby on a lounger. The shady, back terrace sits within a low enclosed wall, perfect for al fresco dining and drinks while watching the sun set. The spacious split-level lounge, five large bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms and sizeable family kitchen diner make it an ideal house for one or two families or groups to be independent or spend time together and relax in peaceful, rural surroundings.
