A characterful property ripe for reinvention - authenticity, absolute tranquility, and rare potential. At the end of a discreet driveway, the arrival at the property immediately sets the tone. Passing through an ancient gateway, a true architectural signature, leads into a vast, sheltered, and characterful inner courtyard. The entire property exudes a rare authenticity, with its stone buildings, expansive period features, and harmonious layout. Here, tranquility is profound and genuine, with no immediate neighbors, in a preserved and open environment where only agricultural landscapes punctuate the view. The main house offers approximately 340 sq m of living space, with beautiful, light-filled rooms and preserved period features: exposed beams, high ceilings, fireplaces, and a fluid flow between the living areas. The reception rooms provide a generous and welcoming living space, including a living room and kitchen of over 30 sq m each. The sleeping quarters comprise five remarkably sized bedrooms (between 25 and 36 sq m), along with two bathrooms. The property currently requires a complete overhaul (kitchen, bathrooms, finishes, and repairs to some walls and ceilings), paving the way for a coherent and valuable renovation project. The technical foundations are solid: sound structure, recently installed heat pump heating, compliant sanitation system, and double-glazed PVC windows. Outside, the potential is fully realized: an impressive barn of approximately 200 sqm, a second outbuilding of approximately 67 sqm, a three-car carport, a well-designed courtyard that serves as a true living space, a pleasant covered terrace/patio, ideal for outdoor dining, an orchard with fruit trees, and a well. This property will not appeal to those who are simply 'turnkey', but rather for its atmosphere, welcoming character, and authenticity, which are increasingly rare. It is a place for those who appreciate character, seeking tranquility and a project that reflects their vision, close to shops, schools, and restaurants. The train station is 25 minutes away, and the international airport is 1 hour away.
