Maison De Caractere

Some houses announce themselves even before you step inside. Here, it all begins at the gate—two imposing stone pillars, each topped with a sculpted pediment, supporting a pair of wrought iron gates that open onto a gravel driveway leading straight to the house, with the barn visible on the side as you approach. This is the kind of entrance that sets the tone before you’ve seen a single room: composed, formal yet discreet, the work of hands long gone.

It is believed the house itself rests on foundations dating back to the 17th century, though this cannot be confirmed with certainty. What is certain, however, is the feeling it evokes—this ”sweet France” that renovation alone can never create, and which this house has never lost.

The setting cleverly balances two aspects: a gravel path leads to the property through open farmland, fields stretching in all directions, yet the village center—bakery, shops, daily life—is only two minutes away. Isolation without remoteness, in short: rural idyll with convenience always within reach.

Fully and carefully restored, the house unfolds generously from a bright central entrance. On one side, a comfortable 38 m² living room; a few steps down, a large 56 m² lounge with an open fireplace, designed for long evenings and large family gatherings. On the other side of the entrance, a 25 m² dining room connects to a fitted kitchen.

At night, the house gathers around three bathrooms spread over two floors: four bedrooms on the first floor, three more—partly under the eaves—on the second, offering flexible accommodation well suited to a large family or a house full of guests. A large cellar runs beneath the entire house.

Outside, an old stone wall encloses a secure swimming pool—a private, sheltered world in its own right—while mature trees shade a garden that opens onto just over one hectare (1.16 ha) of land, with clear views over the surrounding countryside. The detached barn, 133 m² and in excellent condition, now serves multiple purposes—partly stable, partly garage, partly traditional bread oven—solid, full of character, and ready to use as is.

With the other outbuildings, the estate totals about 250 m² of additional built space; nothing has yet been prepared for holiday rentals, but for an owner wishing to take that step, the space and structure are already in place.

This property is for those drawn to the authentic texture of rural France: not a museum piece, but a warm, livable home, full of charm and presence, where you can breathe. A rare find for discerning lovers of deep France.
