Riverside Retreat

Located in a peaceful hilltop village, this grand stone residence offers timeless charm, river views, and renovation potential. Just 15 km from the TGV in Saint-Maixent-l’École, and under an hour from Poitiers airport, it balances rural beauty with easy access.

The property includes a fully restored main house and a separate 18th-century building awaiting transformation—ideal for a family home, artist retreat, or guest accommodation.

The main house offers elegant flow between rooms, with historic touches in every corner. The ground floor includes a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, library, and a cozy sitting room that opens into the chapel.

Key features:

• 560 m² main house across four levels
• 300 m² second building ready for restoration
• Views over the Sèvre River and medieval village
• Saltwater swimming pool and summer kitchen
• Original details: hardwood floors, fireplaces, stucco ceilings
• Double-height “chapel” room for events or creative use
• Six private garden spaces plus orchard
• Outbuildings including barns and former bakehouse

Upstairs, the first floor has four unique bedrooms, a large shower room, and a powder room. The second floor includes a sunny lounge-library, another bedroom, bathroom, and attic. The garden level features a summer kitchen, workshop, shower room, and vaulted cellar.

Outside, stone walls enclose a lush garden with hidden corners, a swimming pool, a well, and shaded seating. A small orchard lies just across the lane.

The second house, marked 1724 above its arched door, features eight rooms, three cellars, two attics, and a palm-filled courtyard with a patio over the garage. A spiral staircase in a stone tower connects each level. Much of the structure has been stabilized, with treated wood, new shutters, and updated windows.
