Our opinion
The property acquired by the current owners in a pitiful state, was probably restored in 1987.
The building was consolidated and would seem to have genuinely started a new life dedicated to being a home and to receiving guests.
Who would, in fact, want to restart the water wheel and its system, if not for the beauty of it?
The omnipresent water transforms the landscape in line with the seasons.
