Description
A charming stone farmhouse with koi, character and countryside views - everything you need for a lifestyle change.
Nestled in a peaceful hamlet, this 19th-century stone farmhouse is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you didn't move to the French countryside years ago. Set in beautifully established gardens of just over two acres (yes, that's more than enough space for anything you could dream up), the real show stopper here is a breathtaking 600m2 koi lake—complete with an impressive collection of enormous, pampered fish and two very laid-back tortoises and moorhens. It's basically a private water feature on steroids.
From the moment you walk through the gate, you realize there's something special about this house. The farmhouse has been lovingly restored and maintained, with rustic yet elegant interiors, original features, and a healthy dose of country chic.
The highlights are:
A large entrance hall with beamed ceilings and tiled floors sets the tone from the first step.
A comfortable living room with underfloor heating, a wood-burning stove, wooden floors and exposed beams - the perfect winter retreat.
A spectacular dining room with cathedral ceilings, stained glass windows, another wood-burning stove (because one is never enough), and a mezzanine for spectacular toasts or quiet retreats.
A bright garden room with electric shutters, air conditioning and travertine flooring, opening onto a vast travertine terrace with jacuzzi, beautifully framed by a pebble wall worthy of an interiors magazine.
Two staircases lead to the upstairs bedrooms, all cozy and comfortable, with wooden floors, exposed stonework, and built-in storage. The views from the upper floors? Nothing short of spectacular.
The kitchen is ready for serious cooking sessions, with a Falcon gas stove, fitted cupboards, tiled floors and ever-so-charming beamed ceilings.
Outside, a large barn, a wooden workshop, and various outbuildings offer endless possibilities—artist's studio? Yoga retreat? Koi club headquarters? The choice is yours.
With electric heating, double glazing and plenty of quiet, this house offers the best of both worlds - rustic charm and modern comfort, all in an idyllic setting that is frankly hard to beat.
