There are properties you discover almost like a film set. And then, very quickly, you begin to imagine those who once lived there, the scenes that unfolded over the years, and the lives that will naturally take shape within this setting. The opening shot begins at the edge of the Benon Forest, which surrounds the nearly 2-hectare estate… The gates open onto a splendid 1825 residence, its stone façades catching the light. 396 m², 6 bedrooms, carefully renovated, entirely secluded from neighbouring properties, with silence and privacy assured. You step through the door and your eyes naturally rise upwards. All the warmth of the woodwork and exposed roof structure comes into view, light floods in and the volumes reveal their full scale. Nearly 125 m² bring together a sitting room, dining room and a professional chef’s kitchen, perfectly equipped, beneath a cathedral-height ceiling. Here, the setting is not merely spectacular; it immediately makes you want to welcome people and share it with others. From the mezzanine overlooking the scene, the eye takes in the entire room. Its home cinema invites you to extend moments of conviviality, around a screening, a match, a film… Back to the ground floor, with, in the reverse shot, another sitting room, its billiard table and fireplace creating a softer light — the kind that belongs to the end of an evening. Six bedrooms provide a warm and welcoming setting for family and guests. Outside, the atmosphere turns distinctly summery. The XXL California-style swimming pool and its spa invite you to unwind, between submerged sunbathing areas and multiple terraces. Then comes the travelling shot around the estate, and the scale changes. Nearly 1,150 m² of outbuildings come into view: a building of almost 500 m², a 250 m² garage, two annexes and a beautiful 76 m² timber-framed reception room. And this is where every scenario becomes possible for your family home. Just 30 minutes from La Rochelle and 2 hours 20 minutes from Paris by TGV, with the high-speed rail station close by, the next chapter — and the new signature of this place — is yours to write.

A large, elegant and comfortable house and its neighbouring building in need of restoration, in a beautiful dry-stone village in the upper Sèvre valley. The main house, built out of rubble limestone, overlooks, on its garden side, the Sèvre River from all four of its storeys, while its other façades look out on one of the most beautiful villages in the department with its medieval chateau. All the living spaces are located on the ground floor, which includes: a large living room, a small sitting room, a library or office and dining room, all decorated with nailed wide-plank hardwood floors, a variety of different fireplaces and ceilings with exposed beams or delicate stucco patterns, while the kitchen, left in its original state, has an antique square terracotta-tile floor. In the other building, a vast room, called 'the chapel', accessible via the small sitting room, could be used for galas, concerts or theatre performances. The first floor contains four bedrooms, each in a unique style – one of which has a powder room with lavatory – as well as a vast separate shower room with lavatory. On the second floor, under the insulated roof, a lounge space opens onto the staircase, while a last bedroom, bathed in sunlight, is located near the bathroom with lavatory. The rest of the floor is reserved for the attic space. As for the garden level, it includes a summer kitchen and furnace room (wood-pellet central heating), a workshop, a summer shower room with lavatory and a cellar. The house’s tile roof is in great condition as is the roofing for the outbuildings, while most of the windows are double-glazed. The garden is organised into six spaces, including the courtyard enclosed on three of its four sides by two barns and the deep, asymmetrical quadrilateral swimming pool. The four storeys of the house in need of restoration – which a small courtyard separates from the first – are accessed by a spiral staircase, which is undoubtedly older than the date displayed above the building’s arched front door: 1724. Although some of its window frames have been changed recently and the shutters are new, there are eight rooms in total that need to be refurbished, in addition to three cellars and two attic spaces. An interior garden, in which a palm tree provides a Mediterranean touch, opens onto a patio under which, thanks to the slope of the street that descends towards the bridge over the river, a garage was created.
