UNDER OFFER In the heart of Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron, in a vibrant and sought-after area, lies an exceptional family estate, a 17th-century heirloom: 'La Maison des Aïeules' (The Grandmothers' House). Built on a 4,595 sqm enclosed plot, delicately landscaped with trees and flowers, it embodies the perfect marriage of historical nobility and absolute refinement. Listed as a Historic Monument, it bears witness to a rare heritage where every stone tells a story. Upon entering through the gate, a majestic courtyard unfolds before you, a veritable stage for timeless living. The buildings, preserved in their original architecture, converse with the stone floors and superb centuries-old cobbled paths, evoking the discreet charm of large summer gatherings, moments spent under the stone-framed covered porch, children's laughter, and hushed evenings bathed in soft, warm light. Spanning approximately 450 square meters of living space, the main residence rises gracefully over two levels, accessed via a charming front porch. Upon entering, a cozy living room reveals a period jam cupboard, an authentic touch that captures the spirit of the place. Secret passageways lead to the upper floor, where four bedrooms and a bathroom tell a delightfully old-fashioned story, perfect for nights filled with poetry and memories. The carefully renovated kitchen retains the character and authenticity of the property while offering modern comfort and practicality. The adjoining dining room and second living room create generous and flowing spaces, ideal for hosting exceptional gatherings. A laundry room/pantry, a boiler room, and a wine cellar complete the ensemble, providing a perfect setting for wine and gastronomy enthusiasts. The property's outbuildings further enhance its unique character: a second, independent building, comprising two rooms and a water feature, accessible from the courtyard and covered area, and featuring a historic well; a former two-story barn, retaining its original flagstone floor on the ground floor, while the upper floor, once used for hay storage, has been partially converted into charming summer bedrooms; and 'L'Ânerie,' adjoining the main house, now houses a workshop, a creative space open to all kinds of exceptional projects. A second well adds to this undeniably charming space. From the main courtyard, the eye is drawn to a first wooded garden of 1,293 sqm, a true haven of serenity where time seems to stand still. In the shade of century-old trees, afternoons are savored over tea, while evenings are bathed in an intimate glow. A discreet gate opens onto a second garden of 2,400 sqm, traversed by a majestic, tree-lined central avenue, lending the property an aristocratic air. Every stroll becomes a sensory journey, every vista an invitation to wonder. Carefully renovated over the centuries, this exceptional property transcends the mere confines of a residence: it is a promise. The promise to write a new, unique, and inspired chapter, respecting an incomparable heritage, with the comfort and elegance that only prestigious homes can offer. A rare, precious, and timeless residence, destined for lovers of history, luxury, and poetry, where every moment becomes a privilege. Listed as a Historic Monument, not subject to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Full photo report available on our website Espaces Atypiques Charente-Maritime.
