9 Bedroom House

Ref.4206 : COUNTRYSIDE RESIDENCE WITH 2 HOUSES, EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES AND 8.5 ACRES.
Nestled into the countryside of north Touraine close to the border of the Sarthe, a good selection of local market towns a short distance away provides ample choice of shops, restaurants, schools, etc. An idyllic retreat to enjoy the benefits of rural life this popular area has to offer with the option of equestrian orientation.

Located in a commanding position overlooking the paddock and down towards the stream that runs along the property limit, the two houses, built in the 1980s, have been extensively modernised and improved and today offer spacious comfortable living for perhaps several generations or a family and guests (paying or otherwise). With individual Jacuzzis and sauna along with parking, each home is self-contained providing privacy and intimacy. The pool and large conservatory style pool house are strategically located between the two houses offering an ideal ?pleasure? meeting point to share and create those unforgettable moments. A former barn has been partially transformed into a third dwelling .. requires completing.

The first house provides circa 225sqm of living space over two floors:
The ground floor has entrance hall and central corridor offering easy access to the variety of rooms on the ground floor. The first is the ?front-to-back? lounge (34sqm) with bespoke glass staircase to the first floor. A light and airy triple aspect room with direct access to the terrace and views over the paddocks and beyond. Next to the lounge with interconnecting, or via the corridor, independent access is the dining room (21sqm) with a new wood stove (wood pellets), tiled floor and double doors to the terrace. Across the corridor and opposite, we have the kitchen with central island/bar and separate utility room/larder. Further along the corridor is the WC , large bathroom with oval bath, twin wash basins and separate shower. The ground floor bedroom (18sqm) has parquet flooring reversible air-con, a dressing room and direct access to the terrace with Jacuzzi and sauna.
The second floor has a central corridor with distribution to four bedrooms and a study/bedroom, wc and shower room.

The Second house located to the right as you enter the electric gates offers circa 120sqm of living space over two floors:
The ground floor has the entrance door into a central corridor with the spacious lounge diner (25sqm) on our left with double doors leading to the terrace and views over the paddocks and beyond. To the right is the kitchen with adjoining utility room and separate access to the rear courtyard with Jacuzzi, sauna and parking. Continuing along the corridor, we pass the wc and shower room on our right and opposite discover the downstairs bedroom with direct access to the front terrace. The final room on this floor homes another bespoke staircase and doubles as an office or bedroom as required.
The second floor: stairs lead us to a central landing and corridor with WC, shower room and two large double bedrooms.

In addition to the two houses the previous owner created an impressive equestrian facility which, under one roof, combines 6 individual stables (3m x 3m) each one with automatic water fountains, a storage room, tack room and kitchen (14sqm), a shower for the horses (with hot water), wc and indoor sand arena (40m x 20m) with raised viewing and speakers, etc. The current owner is not equestrian orientated and has placed a removable hard standing with ?public quality? multi-sports pitch. The outdoor ?sand training pen? is still in place and ready to be used again as required.
Located between the two houses is the hexagonal plunge pool (8.3m wide and 1.3m deep with heating), sun deck and fabulous conservatory pool house of 28m² with bar.
On site is a hard built tiled double garage (41sqm) plus attic above. Near to the pond is an old underground wine cellar.
And in case this wasn?t enough we have the former ?barn? of 90sqm now partially converted (requires finishing) into a third house offering living room (75sqm) and ground floor bedroom and upstairs shower room, mezzanine office, WC and three bedrooms.

The property extends to 3.5h (8.5 acres) the majority being enclosed and all adjoining. Once through the electric gates several hard paths lead to the houses, garage, and equestrian facilities. The fenced paddock represents the majority of the land sloping gently down to the stream at the lower end. A tree-lined stream that is fishable (trout, etc.) and maintains the level in the pond (400m²). There?s plenty of parking areas and the paddock could be close-cut if a more ?manicured? finish was required.
