The land and garden consist of 1.5 acres (6,000 m2). The property is in a very secluded and peaceful position, and further away the woodland is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves and looks up to the medieval castle of Potentino.
The land itself is mostly woodland whilst the land around the house has been restored into a garden.
There are footpaths along the river leading to deep, swimmable, rock pools. Click links below to view the plans for the property: Plans Plans
