EXCLUSIVE ATYPICAL SPACES

Located in Ligugé, just a few minutes from Poitiers, Villa San Martino embodies the elegance of 19th-century historic residences. Built in 1894 by an Italian architect, this 208 sqm Palladian-inspired property has been preserved and maintained by the same family since its completion.

Upon entering the gates, the eye is immediately drawn to the brick and stone façade, pierced by semicircular bay windows. The horseshoe staircase, inspired by the famous Villa Poggio a Caiano, leads to a vast, theatrical staircase, a true architectural spectacle, welcoming visitors while revealing a breathtaking view of Ligugé Abbey. Through the front door, we discover a hall serving as a vestibule with a ceiling height of over four meters, lit by stained glass windows, leading to the large living room with terrazzo flooring, adorned with a molded ceiling and a Baccarat chandelier. A large Carrara marble fireplace dominates the state room, surmounted by an oval trumeau mirror and two jambs in the shape of an Ionic column, all offering a breathtaking view of the park. Four other rooms including two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom occupy the whole.

The ground floor, formerly dedicated to servants, has several spacious rooms just waiting to be redesigned, including a kitchen, a dining room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a boiler room. On the top floor, a convertible attic of over 120 sqm on the ground floor offers additional potential to expand the living space. The vaulted cellar reveals an atmosphere steeped in history, where the still-burning coal seems to whisper memories of a bygone era. As you wander through the grounds of over 6,500 sqm, you’ll discover a Calvary overlooking a pond, all surrounded by listed century-old trees.

Further on, the stables preserve the former equestrian facilities, where each stone and beam tells the story of a past steeped in tradition. This space has a second floor to be converted. Restrooms are subtly hidden in a crenellated tower-shaped factory. A double garage completes the ensemble.

A true jewel of Poitiers’ heritage, this villa offers an exceptional living environment. Its prime location, close to Poitiers and all amenities, makes it an ideal residence for history buffs.
