Between nature and architecture, a house with a Nordic spirit

Just minutes from the center of Baugé-en-Anjou, this timber-framed house offers a rare, almost timeless escape. Nestled in a desirable residential area and surrounded by nature, it reveals a unique atmosphere at first glance.

Its architecture, wooded setting, and distinctive lines evoke, by turns, a Canadian lakeside cottage or a contemporary retreat in the heart of a Nordic landscape. This sense of escape is one of the defining characteristics of this property. Built in the early 1950s, this former infirmary on a private estate has retained its original character and architecture. The current owners have chosen to preserve this spirit while undertaking a careful renovation designed to meet today’s comfort and performance standards. The exterior insulation has been completely redone, the windows and doors replaced in keeping with the original style, and a pellet stove now provides economical heating for the heart of the house. The kitchen has also been renovated, and the living room extensions have enriched the living spaces while maintaining the overall architectural balance. With a surface area of approximately 80 sqm, the house perfectly illustrates the art of optimizing space. Accessible on one level, it is organized around a central living area that ensures a natural flow between the different spaces. The kitchen, separate yet connected to the living room by an elegant glass partition, contributes fully to this feeling of fluidity. Two bedrooms comprise the sleeping area, complemented by a renovated bathroom.

Outside, the property extends over a plot of approximately 1,200 sqm, offering a particularly well-preserved natural environment. Two outbuildings complete the property and can accommodate, depending on your needs, a workshop, a creative space, an office, a leisure area, or simply provide storage. Another advantage of this house is its controlled running costs, thanks in particular to its improved insulation, pellet heating system, and reasonable property taxes. Finally, its location allows for a balance between a sense of seclusion and genuine ease of daily living. The center of Baugé is just a few minutes away, and a bus stop approximately 200 meters away provides access to Saumur. A rare find for those seeking above all a home with character, a preserved environment, and a true sense of escape.
