iad France - Céline Boeuf offers you: EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTY – Two independent houses in the heart of a landscaped setting. Rare in its configuration and remarkable in its possibilities, this property combines two true independent residences within the same enclosed and wooded area of 2,423 m², enhanced by a swimming pool. Just 10 minutes from Valence en Poitou, the combination of an old stone house full of character and a contemporary house offers a unique balance between authenticity, comfort, and modern amenities. A MULTITUDE OF POSSIBLE PROJECTS Family closeness, intergenerational living, primary residence with guest house, hosting family and friends, professional activity at home, or seasonal rentals, this property opens the door to many life projects. With its two independent houses, studio, and space that can be converted into a workshop or bedroom, the place offers accommodation capacity for up to ten beds. The patio, swimming pool, home cinema space, garage, and landscaped park complement this refined set, designed for both daily living and for entertaining and sharing. A FIRST HOUSE in stone, authentic and warm. From the entrance, the charm takes over. The exposed stones, original beams, volumes, and friendly atmosphere make this 101 m2 19th-century home a true cocoon. The ground floor welcomes a fitted kitchen with an adjoining pantry, a bright living room with a fireplace and insert, as well as an office. The whole benefits from a pleasant opening onto a terrace overlooking the landscaped garden and its floral hedge. On the patio side, an entrance with a shower room, toilet, and cupboard. Upstairs, a mezzanine overlooks the imposing stone fireplace and leads to two beautiful bedrooms, a smaller additional room, and a bathroom with WC. Heating is provided by both fireplaces and complemented by a heat pump supplying the radiators and allowing for air conditioning. A SECOND HOUSE for alternative living Built in 2015, the second residence of 133 m² offers a decidedly contemporary universe. Its modern interior, beautiful volumes, and elegant decoration dominated by black and white create a totally different ambiance from the old house. This house notably features a premium fitted kitchen, a pellet stove fireplace heating the entire residence, and a dedicated home cinema room. Upstairs, the large bedroom can easily be divided into two distinct spaces, and a magnificent bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and WC is separated by an open office with unobstructed views of the countryside. At the front, an adjoining shed allows for the storage of gardening equipment and complements the whole with a closed chicken coop opening onto a small courtyard. EXTERNAL SPACES WITHOUT ANY OVERLOOKING On the old house side, the patio invites summer meals, evenings with friends, and moments of relaxation. It leads to the garage with a motorized door and its attic above, as well as an independent room equipped with a shower room, which can become an office, workshop, spare bedroom, or professional space. The terrace then connects to the swimming pool area, perfectly integrated into the garden. An independent studio, adjoining the technical room, provides an additional solution for hosting family and friends. TWO HOUSES, TWO INDEPENDENT ACCESS POINTS The configuration of the premises allows each residence to operate autonomously. The contemporary house benefits from its own motorized gate, while the stone house has access through the garage as well as through a side gate. A PRIVILEGED SETTING IN THE HEART OF POITOU Situated in a peaceful environment, the property enjoys a location that combines the tranquility of the countryside with proximity to the main service hubs: - Valence-en-Poitou, about 10 minutes away: shops, middle schools, many services, and heritage with its 16th-century halls, - Lezay, about 15 minutes away: shops, schools, weekly market, and health center, - Poitiers, about 40 minutes away: TGV station, university hospital, universities, and job pool, - Niort, less than 50 minutes away: TGV station and economic vitality.

AN EASY-TO-MAINTAIN GARDEN Two robotic lawnmowers and automatic watering systems help maintain the beauty and landscaping potential of the park throughout the seasons. Note: The photographs were taken in July 2026, during a drought episode that led to a watering ban for lawns. The scorched grass visible in some shots does not reflect the usual appearance of the garden.

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.

All that remains of the fortified castle today is the Orangery, listed as a Historic Monument, and its defences dating from the 13th to the 15th centuries. Converted into a farmhouse in the 17th century whilst retaining their defensive features, they constitute, with their high walls and two medieval towers, the oldest and most imposing buildings in the village. Arranged in a right-angled layout, the Château’s defences combine charm, rich heritage and practicality. Each building is extended by an adjoining plot. The house offers 390 m² of living space across two floors. It comprises eight bedrooms (two on the ground floor with access to the garden, six upstairs), two shower rooms, three toilets (two of which are separate), two medieval towers (one square, restored with the help of the Fondation du Patrimoine, and one round, each containing a bedroom), a 37 m² fitted kitchen with a Godin stove on original flagstone flooring and an adjoining 20 m² entrance hall, a large 42 m² living room with a grand fireplace and underfloor heating, featuring 4.80 m high ceilings, a small sitting room, a 28 m² library with 3.50 m high ceilings, and a total of five large fireplaces.

Potential for all your projects - The attic above the guard room in the square tower is, like the tower itself, 15 m² in size.

Ref.4955: Chateau with caretaker’s house and outbuildings on 16 acres for sale in the Deux-Sèvres department In the heart of the Gâtine Poitevine, in the east of the Deux-Sèvres and on the edge of the Vienne, this property enjoys an unspoilt, rolling and verdant rural setting. The area offers a particularly pleasant way of life, among hedged farmland, meadows and small valleys, while remaining well connected to the region’s main towns. The property is close to a lively village offering all the main everyday shops and services, making it equally suitable as a main residence, a family home or a venue for receptions. Saint-Maixent-l’École, Poitiers and Niort are easily reached, while the TGV station provides fast connections to Paris. The region also has many attractions: rural and historic heritage, golf courses, walking trails, the landscapes of the Gâtine and relatively quick access to the Atlantic coast. Offering approximately 339 sqm of living space, the château is arranged over three levels and retains a particularly pleasant layout, designed as much for entertaining as for year-round family life. The entrance is via a short flight of steps opening onto a hallway with old cement tiles, the true hub of the ground floor. It serves the main reception rooms, the staircase, a study, the WC, the cellar stairs and the kitchen. To the right, the spacious and authentic fitted kitchen retains all the charm of a lived-in house: Bavarian stoneware floor, exposed oak beams, fireplace and stove. It also has direct access to the park and leads to a utility room serving as boiler room and laundry. A passage then leads to the dining room, particularly bright thanks to its dual aspect. With its fine ceiling height, it features an oak parquet floor, a straight marble fireplace and two built-in cupboards. The walls, lined with velvet over padding, contribute to the room’s hushed and elegant atmosphere. Beyond it, a wide double door opens onto the large drawing room, with generous proportions, fine mouldings, a marble fireplace and many openings onto the park. One side extends into a turret, forming a more intimate and particularly bright space. From the hallway, a small study facing the park completes the ground-floor reception rooms. Nearby are also a WC with hand basin and the stairs down to the cellar. The cellar, brick-vaulted and tiled, offers several storage areas, notably for wine, and has independent access to the outside. The main staircase, made entirely of carved oak and housed in one of the château’s towers, leads to the first floor. This level is arranged around a library-billiard room, a room of character with parquet flooring and a fireplace. It serves three bedrooms. The first bedroom, of generous size, has its own bathroom with bathtub and retains a marble fireplace. The second, also spacious, has its private bathroom. At the other end of the floor is a master suite, partly set in the tower, with marble fireplace and adjoining bathroom. A separate WC and a small storage area or dressing room complete this level. The second floor has a more intimate, family feel. A landing leads to a first bedroom with fireplace and eaves storage, then to a TV lounge serving the other rooms. There are two further bedrooms, one with two windows and plenty of storage, a small study, and a bathroom with bathtub and WC. The eaves have been used to create numerous storage spaces, particularly practical in a house intended for everyday living. The whole forms a residence in which the period features – parquet floors, marble fireplaces, panelling, mouldings, cement tiles, carved staircase and turret rooms – have been preserved, while offering a fluid and comfortable layout. More than a showpiece château, this is a true family home, warm and lived-in, able to welcome many relatives and friends with ease. The outbuildings form a particularly complete ensemble, organised around the estate’s former domestic, agricultural and equestrian functions, and contribute fully to the character of the property. Close to the château, an old red-painted timber building houses the historic water reserve system. Before the estate was connected to mains water in 1975, this system supplied the property with water. Today it is an interesting testimony to the way the estate once operated. The outbuildings retain a strong equestrian identity. The former carriage house, now used as a garage and workshop, has a cement floor and is clean and functional. It leads into a very fine tack room with parquet floor, panelling and original wooden saddle racks. The former stable has kept its original layout. Its roof has been redone and it has electricity and water points. Two loose boxes remain, each fitted with stone mangers and old hay racks. Upstairs are the former groom’s room and several spaces once used to store grain, fodder and equipment. A direct access leads to a small service courtyard. The outbuildings also include a former cowshed, a kennel, a barn, a large garage for around six vehicles, a former hayloft and a wine cellar. These various spaces offer many possibilities for use, storage or conversion, subject to the necessary permits. The property also includes a caretaker’s house of approximately 63 sqm, with its own independent entrance through a wide gate of about 5.50 metres, practical for deliveries or for keeping the different parts of the estate independent. On one level, this house comprises a kitchen, a bathroom with bathtub and WC, a large living room with fireplace and stove, and a bedroom. It can be entered from either the kitchen or the living room. The floors are tiled and there is central heating. Part of the roof has been redone. The house has its own enclosed garden with water points, fruit trees and a former henhouse, giving it true independence from the château. An additional building, formerly used as a henhouse, has electricity. It also has an upper floor offering further potential, but requiring complete renovation. These outbuildings, well preserved in their original layout, are a real asset to the property, whether for family use or for an equestrian, caretaking, hospitality or development project. Arrival at the property immediately sets the tone. Beyond an elegant entrance gate, a long drive leads to the château, marked at its start by two stone lions that enhance the majestic character of the approach. This vista leads to the main courtyard and then to the front steps of the residence. The château stands at the heart of a fully enclosed park of approximately 7.4 acres (3 hectares), made up of lawns, paths, flower beds and very fine old trees. The park features several mature species which create true landscaped vistas and give the estate an atmosphere that is at once sheltered, romantic and very green. A former walled kitchen garden is one of the most interesting areas of the park. It has numerous water points, a pond and a working fountain, as well as an orchard. Nearby are also a summer kitchen and a small shed for garden equipment. The park is extended by an adjoining meadow of approximately 4,500 sqm. On the other side of the road, the property includes a further 7.4 acres (3 hectares) or so, partly enclosed, with a small area formerly laid out as a riding arena. This land has a captured spring, piped to a small technical building housing the pumping system that sends the water back to the estate. A river runs along the bottom of the plot. The whole thus covers approximately 16 acres (6.5 hectares), offering a fine variety of ornamental park, meadows, enclosed areas, orchard, woodland and more natural land. An old pond to be restored completes the outdoor features and offers further potential for landscaping.

An elegant manor, with a holiday cottage, outbuildings and grounds, overlooking the Sèvre River valley and the small town of Saint-Maixent-l’Ecole. Resembling a small and immaculately designed chateau, the manor is topped with two pyramidal roofs, each punctuated by a dormer, which crown the main façade and its three rows of vertical windows, while, on either side, two short wings, with the same height as the central structure, are set back slightly. Facing the grounds, the three-storey dwelling boasts an exterior with five rows of vertical windows, whereas the living areas – a drawing room, a study, a dining room, flanked by a cosy breakfast nook, and a contemporary kitchen – can be found on the garden level on either side of a wide, dual-aspect and sunny entrance hall. As for the small adjacent extension, it contains the service areas, such as a former kitchen, a workshop, a (fuel oil) boiler room and a lavatory, while the five first-floor bedrooms, in a variety of sizes, provide a number of different views and amenities, such as a bathtub in the bedroom itself and a large shower room for one, a shower room and a lavatory for another, a bathroom for the third, as well as a separate lavatory with a washbasin. In addition, the second floor is made up of four bedrooms (including one with a shower room and lavatory), as well as a bathroom and a lavatory, whereas a large portion of the manor's electrical system and plumbing has recently been redone. With a fuel oil boiler powering the radiators, three hot water heaters are used to provide hot water, while the dwelling also features fibre-optic Internet as well as a cellar extending under half of the edifice. Abutting the manor, a holiday cottage (currently occupied by a three-year lease), with pointed stone walls and giving directly on to the 10 x 4-metre swimming pool, includes a bedroom with a wardrobe and a shower room on the garden level, as well as a sitting room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a lavatory upstairs. On the other side of the courtyard, the outbuildings, cadenced by seven rows of vertical windows, are conducive to a number of current and potential uses, whereas the grounds, of more than five hectares and completely enclosed by a wall, fencing and a moat, are planted with many different trees, which not only offer welcome shade, but plenty of beauty as well.
