climate is barely passable off peak yet lovely in summer, but has frequent strong winds all year
✦ there a good selection of villages and hills in 20–40mins
✦ there's some easy strolls from the door partly along vineyard lanes or tracks to the hills in 30mins; biking a swimming spot a good trails are under 15mins, and canal 20mins
✦ good location to radiate out from
✦ mountain 50mins bike/20mins drive
water canal probably can be used for micro-hydro
✦ in partly usable condition with the roof being redone; creation of common spaces would require moderate works, as would conversion of the mill buldings
✦ the property has a partly protected status in mixed agricultural zoning, but an organery common space could easily be added, and the main buildings extended up to 20%
✦ the river is potentially at times not suitable for swimming, nor the land particularly for growing due to a partly functioning gold mine just upriver
main building 150m2 x4
✦ annexe 2* 75m2
✦ 50m2 terrace and cave
✦ 40m2 terrace and cave
