Property Le Lude (72)

Delightful 19th Century Character Property Interlinks with the 21st Century
A fully restored and luminous character property located amongst the old world charm of the Sarthe region within serene woodland.
Nestled within the open countryside frequented by deer, yet only 40 minutes from renowned cities such as Tours, Le Mans, Angers and Saumur, lies a one-of-a-kind home that offers peace, tranquillity, and privacy. Situated on the cusp of the charming chateau village of Le Lude, and the acclaimed Zoo in La Fleche, this wonderful house is close to all local amenities.
This lovingly restored 300m² property with a striking oak framed barn extension is accessed by a 3km rural lane through hectares of woodland. The original stone farmhouse has been beautifully restored, offering authenticity and charm. On the ground floor, there is a hallway, a bathroom with an independent shower and a large stunning lounge area with two feature fireplaces and travertine floors, one of which houses a log burner with a back boiler (allowing for a very desirable self-sufficiency in such economic times) that adds not only a warming ambience, but also heats the whole property throughout and the hot water with wood that is supplied by the property’s own forest. The 45m² living room leads to a 60m² vaulted room, which is equipped with a luxurious expanse of beams, glass doors, windows, and travertine floors, and ultimately extends to a traditional hand painted bespoke fitted kitchen with access to a terrace area. The 19th century oak barn conversion allows for a truly luminous and open space that follows the sun throughout its daily journey from East to West. The stone and oak accommodation are linked by a bridge on the first floor from the mezzanine area, which accesses the stunning 50m² master suite with French doors that open onto a south facing balcony; the suite comprises of a 35m² bedroom, dressing room and ensuite complete with free standing bath and independent shower. There is also a further two double bedrooms, mezzanine/bedroom, and a family bathroom. No attention to detail has been spared with insulation, warmth, and comfort. There is also a single garage with a storage area above and a further 200m² stone outbuilding which offers restoration potential if required. This magnificent property is positioned centrally within its 4.3-hectare plot that is comprised of 2 hectares of prairie and 2.3 hectares of woodland, all of which is enclosed in its own beautiful piece of paradise.
The property offers economic efficiency by way of high specification of insulation combined with an independency of wood heating in a truly idyllic setting.
