Superb bourgeois property in the heart of the village: elegance and privacy

In the heart of the charming village of Maillezais, renowned for its 11th-century abbey and rich cultural life, this superb bourgeois residence of approximately 486 sq m of living space sits on a fully enclosed park of over 3,800 sq m.

This 19th-century property, renovated in 2022, offers a refined and peaceful lifestyle while providing direct access to the village’s activities.

The entrance is through a vast hall adorned with original cement tiles, which contrast elegantly with the contemporary, colorful wallpaper. In the pure style of bourgeois residences, the hall leads to a majestic living room bathed in natural light, creating a truly noble atmosphere. The light oak parquet flooring and stone fireplace lend warmth and character to the space. This living room connects to a beautiful orangery, converted into a dining room, whose stone paving comes from the village’s famous abbey. On the other side, a more intimate living room in shades of purple offers direct access to the garden and swimming pool. A beautiful archway connects the main dining room to a comfortable and charming kitchen, where period features blend harmoniously with the large central island, perfect for convivial gatherings. A pantry and laundry room complete the ground floor. The beautiful stone staircase leads to the first sleeping area, which offers two large bedrooms with fireplaces and a delightful 1970s-style bathroom.
The second sleeping area features three beautiful suites with en-suite shower rooms and a fourth bedroom with solid wood flooring, each offering its own unique character. The first floor is completed by a bathroom and an office. The second floor offers a fourth suite with an en-suite shower room, bathed in natural light, creating a very intimate atmosphere. A fifth suite, in a chic country style and completely independent, provides an ideal space for entertaining and enjoys direct access to the garden.

The layout of the property allows for very comfortable family living or the operation of a tourist accommodation business. A rented studio apartment completes the living space.

This rare property also offers large stone outbuildings, a garage, and parking. The exterior features a charming front garden and a beautiful landscaped park facing south, home to several remarkable trees. A spacious gazebo provides a superb covered terrace centered around a majestic yew tree. The attractive pool area and its wooden terraces invite relaxation in this unique and private setting. The property is located a stone’s throw from the village amenities, its cultural activities, and the boat landings for the Marais Poitevin, 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/Île de Ré.
