15TH-CENTURY MANSION – DESIGN, ELEGANCE & FRENCH ART OF LIVING

Close your eyes for a moment… and step into this magnificent estate on the edge of the Benon Forest, just a few minutes from Surgères. You walk down the splendid tree-lined driveway flanked by century-old trees; the air changes, becoming softer, almost enveloping. Before you, the estate and its dovecote reveal themselves in silence. A 15th-century manor house, standing there for centuries, as if it had been waiting for you. A quiet elegance that captivates. The charm of history subtly restored, where heritage and modernity blend beautifully. As soon as you step through the door, 616 m² of living space that breathes. Light flows freely, and the spaces open up naturally. The large living area becomes the obvious heart of the home: a contemporary kitchen, a warm dining room where time seems to slow down, and a living room with a fireplace where the seasons take on a whole new dimension. Four spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Here, you don’t just pass through; you settle in, welcome guests, and share. You live life to the fullest… Outside, nature gently takes center stage. 1.5 hectares of freedom, bathed in light, facing south/southwest. A beautifully wooded park, an elegant pool that extends the summer, and a wellness area to recharge. Then there are these additional spaces with great potential: a detached guest house, spa, sauna, gym, large garage, and a vast 100 m² barn with its original roof structure … so many possibilities for creating bed-and-breakfast accommodations or event or wedding spaces, just waiting to be imagined. All this in the heart of the countryside, yet within easy reach of all amenities: shops just minutes away, the Surgères train station offering a 2-hour connection to Paris, and the ocean just a short drive away. Niort is 20 minutes away, and La Rochelle is 30. Everything is at your fingertips! A remarkable estate whose true essence is revealed only through experiencing the space. Come and feel all its charm and character. Don’t wait to discover it. Information and viewings available upon request.
