This energy-efficient house, in a totally private spot, has been renovated with low running costs in mind.

It is light-filled, spacious, and the designers have incorporated lots of wood to give the property a contemporary feel, yet consistent with the original style. It is ready for immediate use.In a future where we may need to be more mindful of conserving our personal and global resources this eco house is forward thinking.

Not only is the wood-burning stove linked to the central heating system and solar panels, but the property has top of the range natural insulation in the ceilings and most of the walls, as well as full double glazing. This should ensure a cooler home on the warmer days and in the winter when the weather in the region can get quite chilly, a cosy living space.The property still has potential for creating further accommodation in the north wing.

So, if the new owners were minded to have some income, then development of a gite, subject to the usual permissions, would be a possibility. There is a large, detached outbuilding suitable for garaging, or workshop and with plenty of space for the storage of wood for the heating. The extensive grounds make for a very peaceful, nature inspired environment.The town of Nerac is built on both banks of the River Baise.

From the Vieux Pont there are good views of the half-timbered old tannery buildings and the remains of Chateau Henry IV with its round tower and arcaded balcony. There is an interesting 16thC pavilion, once used by ladies to undress for bathing in the river, and the park (originally a royal hunting ground) is delightful for a stroll.

Market day is on a Saturday morning. Close to Nerac is a large water park with jets and slides called Lud'O Parc which might be useful to keep the family amused.ACCOMMODATIONGround FloorEntrance hall | with WCOpen plan Kitchen / Dining / Living area | with doors to the east and south terrace, wood burning stove & pantrySitting area | with large bay windows to the south gardenCorridor | with access to boiler room and store roomSummer Kitchen | Small kitchen area with second stairs to first floorWet room | with plumbingStore room | with doors to gardenSummer kitchen | ?small kitchen area with second stairs to first floorWet room | ?with plumbing, for commercial useStore room | ?with doors to gardenFirst FloorLanding | solid wood floorsBedroom 1Shower room | shower and washbasinBedroom 2Bedroom 3Bathroom | bath, washbasin, WCBedroom 4/officeBedroom 5There are a number of international airports in the region, including Toulouse, Lourdes, Bergerac and Bordeaux.
