Exceptional Historic 3/4 Bedroom Abbey School House with Lake Views, Garden & Timeless Elegance
This exceptional property combines history, character and unique design. Originally the Abbey school, it was converted in the 1970s by renowned artist and interior designer André Oudin, known for restoration work at the Palace of Versailles and various châteaux.
The house retains many striking artistic features, including painted interior details and impressive château doors from the Loire Valley opening into a grand dining room.
A large south-facing veranda overlooks landscaped gardens, a neighbouring lake and beautiful valley views towards Chapelle Saint-Michel.
The property offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, generous living and entertaining spaces, a mezzanine cinema area, four-person sauna and several terraces.
At the end of the garden, a workshop offers excellent potential for conversion into a gîte, studio or additional storage (subject to permissions).
A truly distinctive home offering charm, history and exciting potential.
