Description
Nestled in the heart of France's stunning Charente-Maritime region, this unique farmhouse on Route de Fontseche in Chérac promises an authentic experience blended with the comforts of recent renovations. Offering glimpses of its former life as a wine estate, this property combines history with the chance to create your own story.
Let me walk you through this promising farmhouse - a hidden gem in the countryside. Set on a sprawling 3,681 m² plot, the estate unfolds with a main house of spacious 254 m² living area. Inside, you'll be greeted by 10 rooms, cleverly designed to optimize both space and function. Perfect for a large family or those needing room for guests, the home features 5 cozy bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and for extra convenience, there are 3 additional shower rooms and 4 toilets available across the property.
A centerpiece of the home, the 35 m² living room, is equipped with a classic fireplace ideal for warming the chilly evenings. Parquet flooring adds a touch of warmth to the kitchen and dining area, which opens up to dual terraces—perfect spots for sipping morning coffee or enjoying al fresco dinners. The mezzanine offers a wonderful play area above the living space, while an airy vestibule connects you to the sleeping quarters and plumbing facilities.
What truly sets this property apart? The opportunity for expansion. The outbuildings await your personal touch, equipped with features like new PVC windows in a wood finish and sturdy double glazing for insulation. Stone walls in these structures keep the rustic ambiance alive. Use them as storerooms, workspaces, or turn them into gîtes for holiday rentals, with Chérac being a pleasant stopover for tourists exploring the Saintes and Cognac regions.
Speaking of outdoors, the farmhouse holds surprises in the form of two lovely terraces. One in the south captures the sun's warmth, ideal for lazy afternoons, while the northern terrace, partly shaded, lies beside a heated 7 x 14 meters pool—perfect for relaxing dips. Sustainability enthusiasts will appreciate the 36 solar panels (installed back in 2013) on site, reducing energy costs. The property also benefits from an independent water softening system, and a revamped roof done in 2021, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
Just 15 minutes away, you'll find the towns of Saintes and Cognac, which offer both convenience and a dose of the local culture. Cherac itself is a quiet village with laid-back country charm. Here, the pace slows to match the sun-dappled streets and vineyards that define the region. The climate is typically temperate, characterized by mild winters and sun-drenched summers—a dream scenario for anyone seeking solace and a slice of rural French life.
If you're considering life in a farmhouse here, imagine mornings starting with fresh croissants from the local boulangerie, leisurely afternoons filled with vineyard tours or cycling paths, and evenings spent in local cafes sampling Cognac. The proximity to bigger cities means both tranquility and amenities are within arm's reach.
This property isn't just a house, it's a piece of history waiting for its next chapter. With a price of €365,750, you get more than mere square footage—you secure potential, a lifestyle, and countless opportunities to leave a mark. Maybe you'll add additional sleeping quarters in the attic or convert outbuildings into profitable holiday rentals.
As a busy global real estate agent, I see countless properties, but finding one that offers this blend of potential, location, and sustainability is genuinely rare. This isn't just a transaction; it's a chance to embrace life in one of France’s most cherished landscapes.
For the explorers, investors, and visionaries, this farmhouse beckons. Please reach out for more details or to set a time for viewing. Let's write the next exciting chapter of your life in the beautiful French countryside together.
