Beautiful Old House Near the River in a Preserved Natural Setting.

Property Description

Summary
For lovers of beautiful stonework, a magnificent Berry-style house dating back to the 17th century and its barn await renovation and utility connections. The property is situated in a protected natural setting, just steps from the river. The A20 motorway is 10 minutes away. Argenton-sur-Creuse, with all its shops and services, is 30 minutes away. The nearest village, with a supermarket, newsagent/bookshop, hairdressers, pharmacy, cafes, market, etc., is 7 minutes away.

The house roof is in good condition, and the thick stone walls are also in good condition and retain coolness. An electrical connection will need to be installed; the power pole is just a few meters away. I am currently arranging the water connection. The connection after the meter will be the responsibility of the new owner, but we can discuss this beforehand so that it can be done at the same time as the extension work (planned for the end of 2026). There is currently no wastewater treatment system, which will need to be installed.

The house has two levels: a ground floor and first floor of 51 square meters each, with a ceiling height of 2.75 meters, and a mezzanine of 32 square meters with a ridge beam height of 4.20 meters.
The barn is 64 square meters. Its roof will need repair; the rafters appear to be in good condition, but the battens need replacing. The height from the ground to the ridge beam is 6.50 meters. There is a mezzanine.
The property sits on a 2,680 square meter plot enclosed by a stone wall. It features several fruit trees: two plum trees, two pear trees, several cherry trees, one peach tree, hazelnut and walnut trees, and one apple tree.
This property has wonderful potential for peaceful and cool living.
