L Houmeau, France

Discreetly hidden behind a sober facade, this former farmhouse, fully renovated with high-quality features, nestles in the heart of a sought-after village, in a charming town north of La Rochelle. This charming building offers a total surface area of ??371 m2 and offers a remarkable setting. A welcoming patio and a planted area lead visitors through a large entrance hall with large windows opening onto the living room, impressive for its high ceilings and exposed stonework. A mezzanine overlooks this space with a first suite, consisting of a bedroom under the eaves, with its own bathroom, toilet, and study/reading area. On the ground floor, extending from the living space, an imposing fully equipped kitchen, complete with an underground wine cellar and pantry, complete the space. A hallway leads to an elegant, spacious master suite, perfectly decorated in an intimate Baroque style and featuring a discreet dressing room, as well as a bathroom with double sinks and storage space, thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail. Finally, a separate toilet with a washbasin completes this wing. On the first floor, two other suites stand out: the first, decorated in a romantic style with soft hues, features a shower and washbasin, and the second, under the eaves, also features its own bathroom and toilet. The tour continues with a major surprise: a large converted room houses an indoor pool and a jacuzzi, adding a rare dimension to this characterful family home. Completely independent, the fifth and final suite is located here, comprising a remarkable bedroom, a dressing room, a bathroom, and a toilet. An adjoining laundry room will allow this space to be considered for seasonal rental. The private, maintenance-free garden concludes the tour and highlights an outbuilding awaiting renovation, as well as a petanque court and a shaded terrace. Four covered parking spaces allow for easy and secure parking on the plot. ENERGY CLASS: 'C' / CLIMATE CLASS: 'B'.
