EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES

Thanks to several years of passion, this 1885 farmhouse has rediscovered its soul, nestled at the gateway to the Marais Poitevin, in a discreet hamlet of a town renowned for its butter. This old complex, once composed of several buildings, is now undergoing a true metamorphosis. The renovation, guided by a taste for beautiful materials, brings together raw concrete, weathered wood, metal, and repurposed elements. A resolutely contemporary approach, where sobriety and warmth meet to create an atmosphere as authentic as it is inspiring. Hidden behind a bamboo hedge, the south-facing facade of the cottage reveals a harmonious blend of glass, metal, and concrete coated in an earthy red hue. This place has preserved the soul of the original materials while subtly separating itself from the rest of the property.

Upon entering, the eye is naturally drawn to the kitchen, elegantly integrated into a shuttered concrete structure. The original stone wall, subtly whitewashed, reinforces the authentic character of the property. A staircase with suspended steps seems to float along a naturally ochre earth wall, highlighting the living room’s insert stove.

The custom-made joinery by an expert ironworker generously opens the space to the outdoors, creating a permanent indoor-outdoor feel. The cottage has three large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, comfortably accommodating up to eight people. One of them, located on the ground floor, has direct access to the outside. One of the upstairs bedrooms, on the terrace side, overlooks the ancient roofs and offers unobstructed views of the Château de Coudray-Salbart. Completely independent, this home has its own access, preserved privacy, and a furnished terrace, ideal for relaxing or sharing special moments with family or friends. In a perfect alchemy of authenticity and contemporary inspiration, the unique main house boldly blends the old and the new. Wood, rusted metal, concrete, and limestone blend harmoniously here, with deep respect for the site and its history. The original building has been subtly connected to the old bread oven through the creation of a vast, light-filled dining room, overlooked by a spectacular glass roof. Beneath this glass roof, a bench seat invites contemplation or reading, with a breathtaking view of the natural surroundings. The atmosphere is soft, almost suspended.

A sculptural and graphic concrete staircase leads upstairs to a spacious bedroom. Its bathroom pays homage to raw materials: an exposed cast iron radiator, an old trough transformed into a sink, a shower screen made from a period shutter? So many details that define the unique soul of this renovation. On the garden level, the kitchen opens onto a winter garden with high ceilings, extended by a workshop-style glass roof overlooking the pool. The raw masonry walls, polished concrete, and industrial lines give this room a strong character. A true chef’s kitchen, it is equipped with a stainless steel range topped with two professional hoods, designed for gastronomy enthusiasts. The living room, meanwhile, blends elegance and warmth: the soft gray limed stone walls interact with the custom-made patinated interior shutters that conceal the television. The aged leather furniture adds a vintage touch that contrasts with the light stone floors. An office and a bathroom complete the volumes on this level. The staircase, accompanied by a 19th-century iron pedestal table, leads to the upper sleeping area. Under a magnificent pearl gray roof frame, the master suite opens onto an elegant bathroom where white is displayed in all its nuances. A second bedroom completes this floor with its soft, clean lines. Two opposite terraces complete the features of this property.

The terrace on the main facade embodies the raw charm of a characterful entrance. Intimate, it unfolds its warm atmosphere under an impressive exposed frame of patinated wood. The aged wooden slatted floor, the terracotta pots and the Mediterranean-inspired decorative elements reinforce the authenticity of the place. A masonry bench, atypical hanging lamps and a swing complete this transitional space between outside and inside. The ideal place for a morning coffee in the shade or a moment of reading lulled by the birdsong. The wooden terrace on the garden side represents an oasis of conviviality bathed in light.

At the rear of the house, it offers a true extension of the living space to the outside. Bordered by light stone walls typical of the local architecture, it benefits from optimal sunshine, tempered by large stretched canvases which

elegantly filter the light. The space is designed for relaxation and outdoor dining. The carefully integrated vegetation accentuates the peaceful and 
intimate character of this space. Perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a moment spent in peace, this terrace is a true favorite.

The landscaped garden with its thousand nuances is a veritable green setting and reveals itself in several settings, all imbued with tranquility. 
A generous orchard, open meadow, shaded corners ideal for reading or napping in a hammock, outdoor showers, and a pool area: every 
corner invites relaxation.
Charming dry stone walls structure the pathways, guiding the steps while preserving everyone's privacy. A landscaped pond, designed like 
a true natural swimming pool, offers a unique swimming area, while old stone troughs allow fresh and invigorating water to flow.

This secluded location, just 20 minutes from Niort and its TGV train station, combines the art of living, independence, and capacity in a 
preserved environment. A rare address, designed for lovers of nature and authenticity, looking for a property that is as family-friendly as it is inspiring.
