Renovated stately home and its intimate garden

In the commune of Rives-du-Fougerais, this beautiful, charming residence of 241 m2 of living space sits on a fully enclosed plot of approximately 2600 m2.

This imposing 16th-century stately home bears witness to the region’s flourishing Renaissance past and offers an extraordinary, timeless way of life. This journey through time begins at the entrance.

Entirely clad in stone, it provides access to a generously sized living room. The original paving, the French ceiling, and the large painted fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, give this living space an authentic and warm atmosphere, while offering beautiful openings onto the garden. On one side, it leads to a charming rustic kitchen-dining room equipped with a beautiful Lacornue range cooker. Functional and bright, it benefits from direct access to a large terrace; on the other, a room that can offer a second, more intimate living room or allow the creation of a bedroom on the ground floor. A shower room and a utility room complete this level. The superb spiral staircase leads to a first suite composed of a very beautiful bedroom with XL volumes, including a bathtub area and a separate shower room. This level receives a vast room in which the royal blue contrasts elegantly with the solid parquet flooring and the superb Renaissance fireplace. It leads to a first bedroom with an alcove feel and a second bedroom adorned with antique tapestries.

The beautiful, tree-lined garden, sheltered from view, offers in its center a pretty fountain and a wooden terrace that invite relaxation and reverie. A stone barn of almost 70 m2 gives free rein to various projects. Small outbuildings including a bread oven and a magnificent vaulted cellar complete the property.

It is located 8 minutes from the listed village of Vouvant, 8 minutes from all the amenities of La Châtaigneraie, 15 minutes from Fontenay-le-Comte and the Mervent massif and 1 hour from the Vendée beaches.
