Saint Gilles House

Karacterre® is proud to present, exclusively, a character-filled property born from the harmonious blend of rural heritage and contemporary architecture. Nestled within a preserved natural setting, this former farmhouse built of cob and stone has undergone a thoughtful renovation led by an architect, with particular care given to respecting the original structure and enhancing its inherent qualities. Far removed from a conventional renovation, this project embraces a considered architectural approach, where contemporary design reveals the beauty of the existing building without compromising its authenticity. Original materials have been preserved and highlighted wherever possible, while bio-based materials were favoured throughout the renovation process to extend the spirit of the property and maintain its character. From the moment you step inside, the house impresses with its generous volumes, abundant natural light, and soaring ceilings that create an exceptional sense of space. Carefully designed sightlines, thoughtfully positioned openings, and the constant dialogue between original materials and contemporary features give the home a warm yet distinctive atmosphere. The interior layout is organised around several living spaces, each with its own character. At the heart of the home lies a fully fitted and equipped kitchen, complemented by a study and a master suite comprising a bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room. In the opposite wing, a spectacular reception room with cathedral-like volumes invites convivial gatherings and extends into a more intimate second lounge. A guest bedroom with private shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests alike. Continuing from the main house, an adjoining barn offers significant development potential, whether as an artist’s studio, reception space, independent accommodation, or any other personal project. A separate outbuilding, located to the south of the courtyard, further enhances this remarkable property. A sensitive and inspired architectural achievement, where rural heritage, generous volumes, and respect for traditional materials combine to create a truly unique place to call home.
