Here, the pace of life slows down, and the air fills with the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant call of birds.
This spacious property is delightful, featuring five bedrooms and four bathrooms, spread out over a generous 245 square meters. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the farmhouse-style kitchen, a cozy 25 square meters, where a warm wood burner stands as a beacon of family gatherings and culinary adventures. Morning coffees and hearty breakfasts are likely to become cherished rituals in this inviting space.
A step into the large sitting room reveals the spirit of this home—roomy and comfortable, it invites both relaxation and laughter. The real crown jewel, however, is the spectacular double-height room, spanning an impressive 62 square meters. This room, designed with all seasons in mind, is perfect for hosting gatherings, from intimate dinners to lively parties. Imagine in the winter, the room filled with a cozy atmosphere, or in the summer, the doors thrown open to let in the fresh country air.
Adjacent to the main house is a charming guest house, making this property ideal for large families or those who frequently entertain guests. This extra space includes an eat-in kitchen/sitting room, a bedroom, and an en suite shower room. With the right permissions, this could be transformed into a delightful addition for revenue-generating rental opportunities.
The grounds surrounding this property span over 2 ½ acres, mostly maintained as rolling lawns—a perfect setting for a picnic under the sun or a leisurely afternoon stroll. Here you'll also find a 10-meter by 5-meter swimming pool, complete with a terrace. It’s an ideal spot for those hot summer days, just lounging poolside or having a refreshing swim.
Included within the grounds are several barns, a workshop, and a garage, giving you ample space for any hobby or storage needs. The potential for customizing these outbuildings based on your desires could be a delightful project or enhancement to your new home.
Imagine the lifestyle here: waking up to the soft hues of the morning sun over the countryside, enjoying home-cooked breakfasts with local produce, and then planning your afternoons in the surrounding area. Challignac and its surroundings are steeped in history and offer various attractions. Explore local markets where farmers peddle fresh produce, cheeses, and wines—the essence of French culture.
