Description
Perched on the top of a hill, on a plateau of varying levels, this property has a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding undulating countryside. In the heart of an unspoilt, predominantly wooded setting, the estate spans approx. 57 acres and includes a fish-filled, 1st category stream, running through the plain lower down. Away from nuisances, it is possible to take advantage of total peace and quiet.
The origins of the property date back to the 17th century. This highly representative example of local architecture has been fully restored to include home comforts. A covered terrace supported on pillars stretches the full length of the first floor, forming a gallery on the garden level. Its total of 4,628 sq ft of living space spans three stories. The extremely luminous interiors are an audacious mixture of old with contemporary. The rooms are of a comfortable size and well laid out. They include a fully-fitted kitchen, continuing into a spacious dining room that opens on to the terrace, a lounge, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dressing room, a vast open space comprising a TV-Home cinema lounge and two large studies as well as a laundry room and a former cellar, now a wine bar.
In addition to the residence, there is a large barn with a 1,292 sq ft floor surface area, comprising notably a large reception room (with 19.7 ft high ceilings) and a shed used as a workshop and garage for several cars. Set at right angles, the former bread oven has been converted into a summer kitchen, but also includes a wood shed, a storage room and a guest bedroom upstairs. The carcass of a second barn with a 431 sq ft floor surface area is in a good state of repair and could be converted to include two or three stories. The landscaped garden features a large swimming pool. The property has a well and several sources.
Our opinion
Away from any nuisance, the property is in an ideal setting for those looking for peace and quiet in an unspoilt environment. The residence is extremely comfortable, spacious and audaciously restored in a contemporary style. The different means of access provide a genuine independence between the floors for an entire family or an accommodation activity. The outbuildings are completely functional, but could also be converted and used for other purposes.
