Close your eyes for a moment… and step into this magnificent estate on the edge of the Benon Forest, just a few minutes from Surgères.
You walk down the splendid tree-lined driveway flanked by century-old trees; the air changes, becoming softer, almost enveloping. Before you, the estate and its dovecote reveal themselves in silence. A 15th-century manor house, standing there for centuries, as if it had been waiting for you. A quiet elegance that captivates. The charm of history subtly restored, where heritage and modernity blend beautifully.
As soon as you step through the door, 616 m² of living space that breathes. Light flows freely, and the spaces open up naturally. The large living area becomes the obvious heart of the home: a contemporary kitchen, a warm dining room where time seems to slow down, and a living room with a fireplace where the seasons take on a whole new dimension. Four spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Here, you don't just pass through; you settle in, welcome guests, and share. You live life to the fullest…
Outside, nature gently takes center stage. 1.5 hectares of freedom, bathed in light, facing south/southwest. A beautifully wooded park, an elegant pool that extends the summer, and a wellness area to recharge.
Then there are these additional spaces with great potential: a detached guest house, spa, sauna, gym, large garage, and a vast 100 m² barn with its original roof structure … so many possibilities for creating bed-and-breakfast accommodations or event or wedding spaces, just waiting to be imagined.
All this in the heart of the countryside, yet within easy reach of all amenities: shops just minutes away, the Surgères train station offering a 2-hour connection to Paris, and the ocean just a short drive away. Niort is 20 minutes away, and La Rochelle is 30. Everything is at your fingertips!
A remarkable estate whose true essence is revealed only through experiencing the space. Come and feel all its charm and character. Don't wait to discover it.
