Ref.4402 : French dwelling for sale 24 km from the sea, near Les Sables d'Olonne
In the Vendée, in the south-eastern part of the Pays des Achards, the commune in which the property is located benefits from the proximity of the expressway between La Roche-sur-Yon and Les Sables d'Olonne. It has nonetheless retained its character as a rural commune set in an exceptional landscape of hedged farmland. The property is located in the centre of the village, where you'll find all the local amenities, including a mini-market, doctor, pharmacy and restaurant.
There are plenty of outdoor activities on offer, including walks combining sunken lanes, remarkable trees and rural buildings to give you a real break from nature, as well as cycle rides. The Vendée Vélo cycle path passes through the village and takes you to La Roche-sur-Yon, Brétignolles-sur-mer and Les Sables d'Olonne.
The entrance to the property catches the eye from the village street. An elegant wrought-iron gate is supported by two granite pillars, doubled by two other granite pillars. The gate opens onto a tree-lined driveway. The main dwelling stands out through the trees. Its architecture is typical of Vendée dwellings that have retained their charm, with two storeys, tiled roofs, exposed stone and small-paned windows.
The buildings are laid out in a U-shape. The intimate courtyard features paved terraces. The vegetation is Mediterranean, including olive trees, cypresses and oleanders.
There are homes where the soul finds refuge and the heart rejuvenates, far from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. That's where you are.

From the moment you step through the heavy wooden door, an atmosphere of tranquillity envelops the premises. The terracotta floor tiles, fireplaces, wood panelling and exposed beams all add to the charm of the place.
The living area is approximately 449 sqm.
With two kitchens, it is possible to envisage two dwellings. The layout of the property could be used for a variety of projects, including a large family home, guest rooms or a gîte.

Upstairs: a second staircase leads to a corridor with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a dressing room.
Another staircase leads to a suite with a bedroom (21.5sqm) opening onto a charming covered terrace (18sqm), a bathroom, a laundry room and a toilet.
Pressoir :
Opposite the main dwelling, an extension of the second kitchen leads to the converted former wine press (73sqm), with its double aspect and exposed roofing framework, used as a large living room.

The outbuildings have a surface area of 190 sqm and include :
- A room for storing wood
- A workshop

The 4.94 acres (2 hectares) of enclosed grounds give the impression of being in the countryside, right in the centre of the village.
There are plenty of places to enjoy the outdoors.
- The garden in front of the dwelling is shaded and features a variety of trees, including a tulip tree.
- The inner courtyard, with its southern vegetation and terraces.
- The parklands with their pond that feeds the moat. Beautiful trees grow here: ash, conifers and, above all, magnificent hundred-year-old oaks whose branches overhang the pond. A shady bower runs through the park.

- The pool area, with its pool house, is a great place to cool off and relax on the paved terrace in the shade of the palm tree.
