A spacious period farmhouse in an idyllic setting overlooking a magnificent lake with enchanting views reminiscent of Africa. The lake attracts wildlife and numerous migratory birds including eagles, black swans and cranes. The property stands entirely on its own surrounded by its 36 hectares mainly grassland estate. Dating from 1736, the 400 m² of accommodation has been expertly restored and developed employing traditional materials and building methods with high quality fittings.
