Bélâbre, Centre-Val de Loire 36370

Imagine yourself in idyllic French countryside. Sipping coffee on the pool terrace whilst gazing across fields to the woods. In the evening you walk to the excellent village bar for a traditional Berrichon supper... This wonderful property is a unicorn - offering privacy but amenities at hand. This unique 2-in-1 home gives you a contemporary house designed for summer living with pool and a shady dining verandah and a snug cottage for a cosy winter! In summer the barn conversion offers soaring ceilings, double height french doors and direct access to the in-ground pool, terrace and Bbq area giving you the best of outdoor/indoor living. Then, come winter the original cottage enjoys a wood burner, thick walls and central heating. Both give extensive views over your own grounds, yet the property is just a pleasant 10 minutes walk to shops, bars, bakeries and Belabre's popular swimming lake. As currently configured across the property there are 5 bedrooms and 4 bath and/or shower rooms and two additional WCs. The barn conversion also has a huge mezzanine which could be partitioned into separate rooms. Each side has a fully equipped kitchen/dining/sitting room and 1 bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor. The whole is surrounded by lovingly-developed gardens both decorative and productive. The attached fields (4.9ha) are a mix of hay meadow and grazing offering an idyllic environment for horses, ducks and hens. There are stables, workshops, garages and a conforming septic tank! This is a rare chance, view today!
