✦ 1 apartment onto the terrace is rented therefore its occupants would need relocating, however this means it is partly functional
✦ does require sewerage to be brought to norms, and as it is isolated on one side of the river it probably does not have a connection, and a pumping system could be complex (75m down across private bridge to road at similar level, or significant climb 40m over canal)
✦ has good capacity as hub with good nature though arguably too much work yet could be done gradually without risk
isolated and quiet but serviced village; nearest towns are pretty boring so this location has to really be considered self-contained and outdoor focussed
✦ the 76km Passa Païs greenway runs past the village and is an easy and very pleasant route for exploring and visiting a couple of pretty villages with cafes, plus one can go along the valley by bus exceptional spots for wildswimming and amazing hikes, plus kayaking 25mins drive
✦ the less than ideal winter climate would be offset by a south facing conservatory and big fires
✦ given the climate would operate a 4-4-4 season with 40% extra time in winter and ~25% less in summer
ground floor 320m2 plus outbuildings
✦ main building 200m2 on 3 floors, plus an extension of 35m2 with attic
✦ 90m2 terrace next to canal though blocked from winter sun by hill
