The residence is a spacious, light-filled home that has been thoughtfully designed to balance comfort with everyday functionality. At garden level, a welcoming entrance opens into a bright open-plan living room, where large windows frame uninterrupted countryside views and provide direct access to the terrace. The fully equipped modern kitchen flows seamlessly into a utility and laundry room, which in turn offers direct access to the basement. The principal bedroom suite is air-conditioned and includes a walk-in shower en-suite and a dedicated dressing room. A hallway leads to two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC, completing the accommodation on this level.

The basement significantly enhances the property’s practicality, offering garage space for up to four vehicles, along with a workshop, cellar, boiler room, and extensive storage areas.

Additionally, a pool room with heated indoor swimming pool and direct terrace access makes this home perfect for year-round relaxation and entertainment.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a countryside estate, fully equipped with operational equestrian facilities and offering additional income potential through renewable energy. It is equally suited as a private residence, a professional equestrian operation, or a lifestyle change project.
