Saintes, Charente 17100

Just 15 minutes from Saintes, this former Charente farmhouse dating from 1865 has been completely redesigned to offer a lifestyle combining authenticity and modern comfort. Behind its stone facade with blue shutters, this 210 sqm building combines the charm of old materials: cut stone, exposed beams, and a stone fireplace, with a careful and bright renovation. Bright and airy, the house offers generous volumes and fluid living spaces. On the ground floor, the entrance opens onto a cozy dining area with its fireplace. The convivial kitchen, designed for entertaining, opens widely to the outdoors. Flooded with light and warmed by a wood-burning stove, it becomes a truly cozy cocoon on cool winter days. In summer, it extends naturally towards the terrace and its bioclimatic pergola, offering a sheltered space for outdoor dining with an unobstructed view of the wooded garden. A second living room has been fitted out in the former winery, enhanced by high ceilings and a large sliding bay window revealing a panoramic view of the garden. A mezzanine office overlooks this living room, ideal for teleworking or a reading area. Still on the ground floor, a comfortable bedroom with a private shower room and toilet allows you to fully enjoy single-story living. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms, a shower room, and a linen room complete the sleeping area. Comfort-Wise: recent air/air heat pump, reversible air conditioning in the kitchen and upstairs, double-glazed window frames, quality fittings. Outside, the 7200 m2 wooded, bucolic and perfectly maintained grounds include a vegetable garden, mature trees, and a superb 5x10 m heated swimming pool with roller shutter. A veritable green setting, not suitable for construction, extends all around, offering privacy and a connection to nature. A 20 m2 annex building has been converted into a guest house, with a shower room and Wc: perfect for entertaining or as a separate office. A large 90 m2 garage with laundry area and a 37 m2 cellar complete the property. Whether for a year-round family home or a charming second home, this property will charm you with its peaceful living environment. Energy Class: D / Climate Class: B.
