As a busy global real estate agent, I come across many properties, but few have left as lasting an impression on me as this particular home. As soon as you pass through the main gate, you're immediately captivated by a panoramic view unlike any other. The vista stretches over the old town of Parthenay, dotted with its historical churches, the serene valley of the Thouet River, and the quintessential French bocage countryside.
For those looking to explore the surrounding area, Parthenay offers much to do and see. This medieval town is known for its remarkable architecture and is often referred to as the gateway to the renowned region of Poitou-Charentes. Life here comes with the charm of a quieter pace, allowing residents to enjoy leisurely strolls through cobbled streets or attend local markets bustling with fresh produce. Don’t forget the local cuisine; it's a real treat! Furthermore, the climate in Parthenay is pleasant, with moderately warm summers and mild winters — just perfect for those who appreciate a temperate climate.
The house itself rests within nearly 9000 square meters of beautifully landscaped grounds. The garden gently slopes down towards the river and the private tennis court, offering plenty of space for recreation and relaxation. Meandering paths lined with ancient cedar and oak trees lead you through collections of plants and flowers, and if you're lucky, you might hear the soothing sound of frogs croaking around the natural spring.
Walking inside, the recent renovation is immediately apparent, creating living spaces that blend comfort and practicality effortlessly. The materials chosen for this transformation speak of quality and are evident in every corner. The ground floor comprises a spacious living room featuring a monumental fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings, and an adjoining mezzanine library where you can escape into your favorite book.
