Settle down in the heart of the idyllic French countryside, in this sprawling, resplendent 18th-century property in the peaceful village of Luchapt, situated in the beautiful region of Poitou-Charentes, Vienne, France. Nestled amidst several hectares of verdant, picturesque landscapes, this historic estate offers an unparalleled living experience, merging the grandeur of the past with contemporary comfort, and holds a plethora of possibilities for personal or professional projects.
This master house, spanning a hefty 655 m² of living space, boasts seven rooms, each radiating a unique charm. Lending to the property's quaint appeal are the meticulously restored details such as terracotta tiles on the underfloor heating, period parquet floors, a carved wooden staircase, fireplaces, exotic wood joinery, high ceilings and double glazing. No expense has been spared in maintaining the building's original glory while infusing it with modern luxury - an ode to its construction in the year 1742.

Simultaneously, the southwest "La Longere" houses two apartments, offering around 100 m² of living space. The northeast "Maison du Pignon", an extension of the master's house, provides another +/- 90 m² of living space on two levels.

Both apartments in "La Longere" have a west-facing garden, while the northeast house enjoys its own green space. Beyond these private spaces, the property fans into several hectares of meadows, perfect for animals.
Utilities include an standard individual sanitation system for the main house, gas central heating and a thermodynamic water heater linked to a boiler, supplemented with solar panels that provide hot water nine months a year. Water is supplied from both a well and the city to the main house.
