Country property with pool, annexe, land, garaging and lake

Step aside, château clichés—this one actually delivers.

Discreetly tucked behind electric gates and set within 1.7 hectares of beautifully established, fully fenced gardens, this striking country residence was built in 2005 for the current owner—at considerable expense and to exacting standards. The result is a home that convincingly captures the charm of a centuries-old property, while offering all the ease and efficiency of modern living (including double glazing and oil-fired central heating).

At its heart rises an imposing stone tower, paired with a splendid entrance framed in stone and an oak front door that sets an elegant and welcoming tone.

Inside, the house opens into a magnificent living space with a soaring full-height beamed ceiling, a monumental stone fireplace with log burner, tiled floors, and a handsome brick-and-stone archway. French doors lead seamlessly onto the terrace and pool area, where views extend across your own lake and the surrounding countryside.

The kitchen is stylish and modern with integrated appliances, complemented by a larder/boiler room and a well-positioned wine cellar just a few steps below.

The principal suite provides a peaceful retreat with a sunken bath, separate shower, dressing room, and access to the utility room. A second en-suite bedroom offers comfortable guest accommodation, while the tower houses a charming third bedroom and bathroom beneath characterful beams.

A self-contained guest house (or gîte) includes its own private terrace, one bedroom, mezzanine area, and modern kitchen—ideal for visitors or potential rental income.

Outside, the property continues to impress with an 8 x 4 swimming pool, expansive sun terrace, covered dining area, granite-paved courtyard parking, open garage for three cars, workshops, stores, vegetable garden, log store, and a picturesque lake completing the setting.

In short, a beautifully designed home offering the character of a period property with the practicality of modern construction—an exceptional and highly versatile country residence.
