"Wisteria" is a charming one-bedroom gite full of character, with exposed stone walls, beams, wood burner, reversible air conditioning and its own private terrace. (Due to retirement the owners have not rented the gites out over the last year).The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A fabulous 10m x 5m swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the gardens, complemented by a covered terrace, games room and WC, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.The impressive collection of outbuildings offers enormous potential for further development (subject to the necessary permissions). These include a substantial 160m2 barn with mezzanine, workshops, stables, garages, an open barn and a large former tobacco barn of approximately 150m2. In addition, a charming old stone house awaits renovation, offering the possibility of creating a third gite, while another stable with an upper floor presents potential for a fourth holiday cottage.Whether you are seeking a spacious family home, a multi-generational property, or a ready-made tourism business with significant expansion potential, this remarkable country estate offers a rare combination of privacy, character, modern comfort and outstanding commercial possibilities in an idyllic rural setting.
