The Estate
What Is Here Today
A substantial domain where the framework for a serious hospitality business is already in place
— and where every space carries genuine character.
The Heart of the Estate
The Original Farmhouse
The oldest part of the property is a beautifully preserved farmhouse built on ruins dating to around 1600. Today it functions as a self-contained residence — perfectly suited as an owner's home, a premium guest suite, or a private cottage that operates independently from the rest of the estate.
The ground floor offers a large kitchen with island and walk-in pantry, a sitting room with hand-carved stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, and double doors opening to the garden. Upstairs, a generous master bedroom with private balcony, a second large bedroom, and a spacious bathroom with freestanding rolltop bath, Italian walk-in shower, double basins, and separate toilet.
This is the kind of space that grounds a property — where a new owner can live while the wider project takes shape, and where guests will feel immediately that they have arrived somewhere with genuine history.
A Destination in Its Own Right
The Restaurant
One of the most striking spaces on the estate. The lower dining room seats approximately 40 guests beneath 4.5-metre beamed ceilings, with four large opening doors giving direct access to a south-facing terrace — seating a further 40 covers for summer dining and events.
Upstairs, an intimate dining room for around 10 guests is centred on a magnificent hand-carved stone fireplace, connected to the lower level by hand-carved stone stairs. This is a room built for occasions — private dinners, wine tastings, exclusive events.
The professional kitchen is equipped with a hot cooking line, plating station, cold prep area, four large refrigerators, linen room, and staff facilities. A dedicated service driveway provides direct external access. A new dishwasher and replacement extractor motor are the primary items outstanding.
There is limited competition for a restaurant of this calibre in the immediate area — most nearby establishments are small bistro-type operations. The opportunity for a talented chef-owner or hospitality entrepreneur is considerable.
