Secluded 18th Century cottage farmhouse with big pool & spectacular views

En Ramounas is a cosy, south facing traditional 18th century cottage farmhouse with soft coloured sandstone walls one metre thick in places, terracotta tiled floors downstairs, double parquet floors upstairs, timbered ceilings throughout and hunks of trees holding the cottage together. Romantic landscaped Mediterranean gardens surround the cottage with a large private terrace and lawn in front looking to the Pyrenees and lawned garden at the back with views to the Montagne Noire. Winding paths lead you down your little hill, past mini vineyard (183 pieds) and fig trees, through Beth Chatto inspired plantings to the swimming pool with its spacious, secluded sunbathing terrace and shady terracotta roof tiled cabin overlooking wheat fields stretching to the Pyrenees. We live in converted barns next door, separated by an old stone wall, so are always available to help if needed. Secluded, spacious and self-catering. A perfect getaway cottage to sight see from and relax in.
