The setting is peaceful and rural, with open views across agricultural land.

Inside

Main house (4 bedrooms):

The main house benefits from generous living spaces with south-west orientation. Curved walls and arched openings create fluid circulation between rooms. The bright entrance hall, enhanced by a fountain, opens onto a double-height dining room.

The modern kitchen is designed as a welcoming space for cooking and entertaining. The house features three separate sitting rooms.

The ground floor also includes a WC, utility room, storage areas and a service room, plus a temperature-controlled wine cellar and pantry.

Upstairs are two master suites positioned at opposite ends of the house. Each has its own ensuite bathroom and WC. The principal suite also includes a large dressing room.

Two further double bedrooms complete this level, accompanied by a family bathroom, separate WC and an additional room suitable for a study or children's bedroom.

Independent gîte (1 bedroom):

The single-storey gîte has a more rustic character. A galley kitchen, created from the former stables and forge, leads to a comfortable living and dining area with exposed beams and wood-burning stove. The layout includes a desk corner, bathroom with WC, and a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage and exposed beams.

Outside

The total plot measures approximately 2,832 m² and comprises a lawned area with a covered terrace, ideal for outdoor dining. A barn provides parking for two cars, plus extensive storage space and a closed workshop. A second large workshop has its own separate access and courtyard.
