Crozant, Limousin 23160

An original hillside house from the late 19th century, looking down at a river in France's Creuse department. The house lies at the edge of the village. It is surrounded by its garden, which is mostly wooded and slopes down to the river. The dwelling forms a unique viewpoint that looks out over the River Creuse valley and at the ruins of Crozant castle. It was built at the end of the 19th century, beside the country lane that leads down from the village. The building was designed in a long, tall shape that follows the hillside.
