Stone farmhouse in a magnificent settingBuilt in 1883 and aging far more gracefully than most of us, this exceptional stone farmhouse enjoys an idyllic rural setting with splendid views across the surrounding countryside. Wonderfully peaceful, yet only a short walk from a charming village with its traditional bakery and grocery store, it offers the perfect balance between rural tranquility and everyday convenience.Beautifully presented from every angle, the property combines timeless charm with a modern and elegant lifestyle. Exposed beams, original stonework, terracotta floors and a warm wood-burning stove create an atmosphere imbued with authenticity and comfort, while the vast open-plan living space flows harmoniously into a contemporary fitted kitchen designed for today's family life.The farmhouse offers five comfortable bedrooms, elegant bathrooms, and thoughtfully designed interiors that are both tasteful and welcoming. On the top floor, a spacious recreation room or artist's studio provides a highly versatile space, whether your passion is painting, yoga, remote work, or simply the desire for a moment of solitude.Outside, the living space is just as impressive. A fabulous covered terrace and dining area, complete with its own summer kitchen, is ideal for leisurely lunches, relaxed evenings, and entertaining friends late into the night. The swimming pool, of course, is practically a given in such a setting.The property also includes two large stone barns, both in excellent condition and with planning permission, offering exciting possibilities for creating additional living space, workshops, or a leisure area. Established gardens beautifully frame the house, creating a private haven that evolves with the seasons.Boasting double glazing, oil-fired central heating, and undeniable charm, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special country home where character, comfort, and potential blend seamlessly. If you're looking for the quintessential French farmhouse, complete with beautiful barns, spectacular views, and a swimming pool, your search may have just ended.
