private mansion with terrace for sale La Roche-Posay, France

Barnes Properties and Castles offers you this unique property for sale, located 10 minutes from La Roche Posay and 30 minutes from Châtellerault (TGV station connecting to Paris in 1h36). A rare embodiment of Art Nouveau in a rural setting, this villa, with its richly decorated facades, will enchant you with its elegance, authenticity, and above all, its location. Overlooking the river, the property benefits from an exceptionally secluded setting. A small entrance garden, enclosed by high wrought iron gates, opens to the West, while the ground floor faces East onto a large terrace framed by stone balustrades and a trapezoidal ornamental garden overlooking the river. A second parcel with a large outbuilding (garage, shed, and attic) is located nearby, separated from the main lot by a small alley. Built in 1906, the villa is covered with slate. A broken hipped roof, topped with a zinc weather vane, crowns the southeast corner. The rest of the building is covered by a long-sloped roof with broken hips, crowned by a ridge and a zinc finial. The residence offers 218 m² of living space over 3 levels, resting on a complete garden level of 180 m² (cellar, boiler room, well, and various sheds). Above the well, the original "suction pump" still exists. Exceptional! On the ground floor, the porch door leads into a vestibule with a ramped staircase featuring turned wooden balusters. On either side, you will find a WC and a small office. A large French door with bevelled glass opens onto a wide central corridor that runs through the building. It leads to the terrace and serves the four rooms on either side: a kitchen, a small dining room, and two living rooms. The organization of the first floor is similar to that of the ground floor. One bedroom overlooks the landing. The hallway is lit by a French door opening onto a balcony. It provides access to two large bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room. The second attic floor reveals 3 additional bedrooms and a billiard room. The entire residence exudes authenticity, and period features are omnipresent and well preserved (parquet floors, tiles, woodwork, moldings, stained glass, etc.). Built in an improbable location on the banks of the river, and in an Art Nouveau style, it reflects the modernity and cultural level of its first owners. This villa surprises amidst the houses of northeastern Poitou. For these reasons, it has been listed as a historical monument. If you are looking for an authentic place rich in history, this villa will undoubtedly seduce you. Property not subject to DPE. Property presented by Jan Erik ALDERLIESTE.
