Charming unusual house in the heart of the Marais

In the heart of the Marais Poitevin, in the commune of Maillezais, famous for its 11th-century abbey and numerous cultural activities, this former hut-maker’s house with 226 sqm of living space stands proudly on its dike, like a refuge at the end of the world. On a plot of over 1,600 sqm, it offers a revitalizing living environment, in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.

Between stone, wood, and water, this unique property combines heritage charm and environmental commitment, offering a timeless living environment.

From the entrance, the tone is set: the vast dining room with its antique oak-framed floor tiles reveals the charm of the place. The living room, bathed in light thanks to its large bay windows, opens onto a wooden terrace overlooking the canal. The atmosphere is soft and soothing, warmed by the impressive Scandinavian stove. The kitchen, minimalist and authentic, extends this atmosphere of happy sobriety. The ground floor also houses a large bedroom with a dressing room, a bathroom equipped with a spa-hammam shower, and a veranda ideal for installing a spa. The upper floor offers two large bedrooms with solid parquet floors, each with their own private dressing area, one of which is through. An adjoining room could accommodate a bathroom.

A separate shower room and a third large bedroom equipped with landscape windows invite you to fall asleep while contemplating the wildlife and the superb sunsets over the marsh. The house benefits from amenities in total harmony with its environment, such as a rainwater recovery system and self-consumption photovoltaic panels.

The tree-lined garden, in absolute tranquility, extends this total immersion in nature. A wooden lean-to that can be used as a garage completes the ensemble. The house is only a few minutes by car or boat from the village amenities, 15 minutes from Fontenay-le-Comte and the Mervent-Vouvant forest, 40 minutes from Niort train station and less than an hour from La Rochelle/Ile de Ré.
