In a dominant position and dating from 1816, this spacious Maison de Maître charms with its authentic character, generous proportions and superb views of the surrounding countryside. Although it is habitable as it stands, it offers great potential for enhancement after renovation to restore all the charm of its original prestige.

Upon entering, a vast hall spanning approximately 40m² sets the tone: high ceilings, beautiful heights and generous volumes create an impression of space, grandeur and character. On the left, the hall leads to an en-suite bedroom with private shower room, a cosy 29.40m² dining room with stone flooring, and a kitchen with French windows opening onto the back garden, extended by an adjoining pantry. On the right, the hall leads to a second kitchen with an adjoining pantry, followed by a shower room and a boiler room. These spaces offer excellent potential for redevelopment, such as the creation of separate accommodation. A 35.80 m² living room completes the ground floor and connects directly to the kitchen, offering a beautiful, convivial and functional living space. Heating is provided by a dual-fuel boiler running on oil and wood.

A beautiful staircase leads to a large landing which, on the left, leads to four bedrooms, three of which are en suite, offering numerous possibilities for accommodating family, guests or creating personalised spaces. On the right, two further bedrooms await you, one of which offers access to a convertible attic space, subject to the necessary authorisations, providing additional potential for expansion. On the second floor, a large attic completes the property and also offers great potential for conversion according to your plans.

The front of the house is organised around an inner courtyard serving numerous outbuildings. Here you will find a woodshed, wine cellars, workshops, an outbuilding with a bread oven, another with a loft, as well as stables, a shed and several barns. These spaces offer a wide range of possibilities for personal or professional projects, or for storage. At the rear of the house, the garden also features a charming pigeon coop, adding an extra touch of character to this delightful property.

Nestled in peaceful surroundings, the plot covers 9,906m², including a pond, and after boundary limit, bringing the total area to approximately 25,796m².

This rare property, with its undeniable charm and strong potential, will appeal to lovers of authenticity, project developers or families seeking space and tranquillity. A property to be discovered without delay, to restore it to its former glory and imagine a new story in a privileged setting.
