About this property

A Calm & Rural Retreat

The hamlet of Levert (all four houses) is situated at the head of the Vallée de l'Aspre, just below the Col de St Georges.

This delightful semi-detached cottage, with all the accomodation to be found on the ground floor, has been newly renovated. It includes a spacious living room leading to a good sized kitchen diner, a double bedroom with kingsize bed and a fully tiled wetroom/shower. Outside there is a large garden, including a wooden decking for outside eating and a small courtyard infront of the house. Laundry facilities and storage space is found in one of the old converted piggeries. Sun loungers, cushions, and BBQ are also provided. Whilst canine guests are welcome, please note that the garden is not entirely enclosed. Please note there is no wifi or internet connection in the house.

The cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy the many outdoor activities available. There are walks to suit all levels, from 1 hour easy terrain walks to more challenging GR tracks. Mountain bikers and road cyclists are also well catered for with an impressive network of tracks and quiet lanes. It is also possible to try paragliding, canoeing, canyoning, via ferrata and swimming.

Cultural pursuits include amongst other things, a selection of chateaux, museums and in August the renowned street theatre festival in Aurillac.

The house is in a very rural setting which is extremely calm and tranquil but does mean that the local supermarkets and commerces are approximately half an hour away. There are small 'epiceries' in both Fontanges and St Projet de Salers for basics.

Ressourçant à souhait
Petites randonnées entre ensoleillement et orages, une floraison à merveille. Un emplacement géographique presque idéal où vous rayonnez sans trop faire de kms. Un jardin de contemplation, des propriétaires charmants.
