luxury house for sale Saint Médard district of Fontenay-le-Comte, France

iad France - Laëtitia BERTON offers you: Behind the walls, a stone longère completely reinvented in the heart of Fontenay-le-Comte. All it takes is to pass through the gate to forget that you are in the city center. Just a few steps from the Halles and the historic heart of Fontenay-le-Comte, this stone longère of about 283 m² of living space reveals itself out of sight, fully enclosed by walls. A confidential place, where blonde stone, south-facing, the intimate courtyard, and the generous volumes create a combination that is as unexpected as it is unique in the city center. Built around 1850, the building once housed old barns. From its past, it has retained only the essentials: its walls and its character. Since 2023, it has been undergoing a complete rehabilitation. Roof, facades, openings, insulation, networks, electricity, plumbing, interior fittings... everything has been recreated to give rise to a contemporary and refined dwelling while preserving the architectural identity of the place. Today, in its final phase of renovation, the property will still benefit from several finishing works, mainly carried out by the owners before the sale. These services are, of course, included in the displayed selling price, allowing future buyers to fully enjoy this place once the fittings are completed. Behind the motorized gate, the property reveals a completely walled courtyard, soon to be dressed in old paving stones. The stone facades bathed in light throughout the day immediately set the tone. Here, there is no overlook and a true feeling of intimacy, even though the city is just a few meters away. The entrance opens onto a hall that naturally organizes the various spaces of the ground floor. On one side, a first living room of about 56 m² offers beautiful volumes and combines an open kitchen with a lounge area. The latter enjoys beautiful light thanks to its large French window, which opens the view onto the garden and its greenery. A particularly enjoyable perspective in the heart of the city, where vegetation provides a true sensation of breathing and tranquility. This space has also been designed to offer great freedom of use. The technical and electrical installations have notably been anticipated to allow for a commercial activity, such as a restaurant or another establishment, subject to the necessary authorizations. A rare versatility that allows for both a living space and a professional project. A pantry completes this ensemble. On the other side of the hall is a second, vast room of about 41 m². Living room, dining room, reception area, library, or room dedicated to another use: its proportions allow for different universes to be imagined according to the desires and lifestyle of its future occupants. But this space also presents another asset: the possibility of developing a professional activity there. With an already existing waiting room and a sanitary space, this part of the property is particularly well-suited for setting up offices, a professional consulting room, or a space intended to receive clients. An interesting configuration for those who wish to combine private life and professional activity under the same roof while maintaining distinct spaces. A laundry room completes this level. The staircase leads to the upper floor, where the master suite asserts the character of the place. Designed as a true private space, it consists of a bedroom of about 24 m², a generously sized dressing room of 22 m², and a subtly integrated bathroom in the 18 m² room. A central wall structures the volumes without completely partitioning them and conceals the bathing area, which includes a walk-in shower and a bathtub. The toilets are independent. On this same level, two additional bedrooms and a shower room will complete the sleeping area for a total volume of 63 m². Their creation and finishing will be fully completed by the owners before the sale and are included in the presented price. Outside, the plot of about 490 m² has been conceived as a haven protected from prying eyes. The courtyard also allows for parking a vehicle within the property. In front of the house, a stone outbuilding of 56 m², also renovated and already connected to water and electricity, opens up further possibilities. Workshop, professional space, office, storage, or independent studio project: its surface area and configuration allow for many uses, subject to the necessary authorizations for the desired purpose. And yet, behind this almost timeless atmosphere, the city is accessible on foot everywhere. Shops are located about 3 minutes away, the Halles and the town hall in 4 minutes, as well as the cinema. Schools, middle schools, and high schools can be reached in 7 to 15 minutes on foot. A particularly rare configuration in Fontenay-le-Comte: living in nearly 283 m² with a distinct character, enjoying stone, a garden, and a closed and confidential exterior, as well as a 56 m² outbuilding, while leaving the car behind the gate to reach the city on foot. And for those wishing to go further, this property also offers the possibility of imagining a project combining housing and professional or commercial activity, thanks to spaces with particularly adaptable configurations. An old longère turned contemporary living space, hidden behind its walls, like an address that one does not suspect from the street. Located in Fontenay-le-Comte, a Renaissance town with a rich heritage, you will enjoy a sought-after living environment, between nature and dynamism. Nearby, the Marais Poitevin offers an exceptional environment for walks and outdoor activities. The municipality also benefits from a strategic location: about 50 minutes from the Vendée beaches and Puy du Fou, 45 minutes from La Rochelle, and 1 hour from Nantes and Poitiers. Agency fees are the responsibility of the seller. Presentation of a valid ID will be requested at the visit, in accordance with article L.561-5 of the Monetary and Financial Code.
