Unique zen 5-bedroomed property with land, water and workspaces, rural yet 500m from a village
This is a lifestyle-change property that doesn’t come onto the market very often. The current owners have spent 37 years lovingly creating this fantastic, well thought-out, relaxing haven, with self sufficiency in mind. Clever heating systems provide economical warmth (even to the domed greenhouse) and the land’s water supply is from multiple sources. There is still scope to develop the house even more, into the large convertible loft.
In a hamlet a short walk from the village of Châtelus-Malvaleix (commerce, primary and secondary school, fabulous swimming lake), this 5-bedroom atypical property, was built in around 1850. It has been renovated to be particularly suitable for home-working, with workshops, a self-contained studio, treatment rooms etc. For information about the village, here is the website - https://www.chatelus-malvaleix.fr/commerce-services-et-marche-chatelus-malvaleix
The main house comprises:
Ground floor - you enter a large kitchen/dining room (22m2) with granite flagstones, high-performance woodburning stove and artisan-made bespoke kitchen units. This room leads to a bright living space (26m2) overlooking the land, with thermal mass stove and access down steps to the terrace. A sunny bathroom with separate walk-in shower and a utility room are also on this level. There is also plenty storage space on each floor of the house.
First floor - to the rear is a large bedroom (27m2), with panoramic view facing west for stunning sunsets. There is a further bedroom/office (15m2) and a landing.
Second floor - there are three additional bedrooms of around 10m2 each and an open landing flooded with light. Two of the bedrooms have ladders up to small sleeping mezzanines - great for sleepovers.
There is easy access to the convertible loft of 145m2 (floored and 5 velux windows).
At basement level there is a separately accessed studio with glass doors overlooking the garden, small kitchen area, shower room and WC. This is a perfect yoga room.
There is a mini house next door, with two treatment rooms, a toilet and sink. There is water and heating, and one of the sets of solar panels supplementing the house is on the south facing roof.
Adjoining the house is an enormous, light workshop with easily-heated separate craft or workroom. Next door there is a furnace housed in an open outbuilding.
All of the land of just over a 10000m2 (1ha) is attached to the property, with two large ponds, a domed, heated greenhouse, orchard, an area and house for hens, a well, and large, grassed areas.
There are multiple sources of heating (gas, wood, and solar), with separate income-generating photovoltaics. There is mains water, a well, ponds and water recuperations systems. There is double glazing. The individual drainage conforms.
For more information please do get in touch quickly as this property is a one of a kind.
