Exceptional building in the heart of the Marais Poitevin, ready for improvement

ESPACES ATYPIQUES EXCLUSIVE LISTING

Located in the heart of the village of Arçais?a jewel of the Marais Poitevin?this authentic home of character (approx. 235 m²) blends heritage charm with generous living spaces. It is a rare find, offering a magnificent canvas for a family home, a professional venture, or a tourism-oriented project.

At first glance, the elegance of the fully restored facades commands attention. The roof, windows, and much of the exterior work were executed to an exacting standard, notably by artisans from the prestigious *Compagnons du Tour de France* guild. This meticulous restoration ensures a level of craftsmanship rarely encountered.

Behind walls steeped in history, the interior layout has been reimagined with respect for the original structure, prioritizing natural materials and sustainable craftsmanship. The raw, authentic atmosphere highlights the property’s unique character and invites you to envision the final touches of the project. The kitchen, bathrooms, and certain internal layouts remain to be created, giving future owners the freedom to unlock the full potential of this extraordinary property.

Designed for shared moments, the ground floor features a spacious living room (over 43 m²) followed by a dining room (37 m²). The dining area flows naturally onto a covered balcony, providing an additional living space that is perfect for entertaining or enjoying the gentle evenings of the Marais region.

Upstairs, two exceptionally large bedrooms?each exceeding 35 m²?offer rare living comfort. On the top floor, under the eaves, lies an impressive 42 m² room where the exposed timber framework serves as a striking architectural signature, lending character and emotional appeal to this unique space.

A massive barn, adjoining the main house, completes the property. Spanning two levels, it offers significant space for storage, a garage, a workshop, or additional conversion. It also houses the reservoir for the boiler stove, contributing to the project’s eco-friendly and cost-effective approach.

A true extension of the main house, the spacious covered terrace opens up a world of possibilities: private receptions, a *table d’hôtes* dining experience, events, or an upscale open-air café concept. Complemented by a garden of over 600 m², it provides an exceptional setting for a lifestyle project combining a home and a professional venture, right in the heart of an iconic destination within the Marais Poitevin.

A unique property?poised between heritage restoration and a creative project?destined for those who can unlock its full potential and write the final chapter of its rebirth.
