This is a rare opportunity to acquire an entire hamlet. No through road or passing traffic.
The main house has been fully renovated to a high standard, with tasteful design and quality finishes. Across the lane, there is a beautiful five-star, two-bedroom gîte operating year-round.

In addition, there is a second, fully habitable three bedroom stone house, complete with its own garden and an attached barn. Several further barns are spread throughout the hamlet, all in good condition and offering excellent potential.

The property is set within beautifully landscaped, park-like gardens featuring mature trees and established planting, with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. Despite its peaceful setting, it is only 3 km from the nearest village with amenities.

Arriving into the hamlet along a quiet lane off the main road, you are immediately struck by the wonderful views and sense of tranquillity. The setting feels perfectly balanced, with the large four-bedroom stone house positioned opposite the two-bedroom stone gîte. Once a former hunting lodge used by local farmers, the gîte benefits from its own terrace and private gardens. Both properties are entirely separate, each offering complete privacy.

The Main House (with large attached barn)

You enter the main house through the front door into a small entrance hall. This leads into a spacious living room (26m²) featuring a beautiful stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove and parquet flooring. The room flows into a newly fitted, hand-built kitchen (18m²), crafted in solid woodwith granite worktops and equipped with a built-in double oven, induction hob, and extractor fan, along with generous worktop space. From here, there is direct access to a patio terrace.

A second sitting room (20m²) provides a comfortable TV/lounge area with lovely views over the rear garden.

Also on the ground floor is a second fitted kitchen/laundry/pantry (10m²), offering extensive storage and work surfaces. From this space, there is access to the cellar, which houses the heating system, additional storage areas, and a wine cellar.

A modern family bathroom (8m²) completes the ground floor, fitted with a bath, shower, wash basin, and WC.

First Floor

The first floor comprises four well-presented double bedrooms (19m², 20m², 17m², and 13m²), all enjoying views over the front and rear gardens. A modern shower room with WC serves this level.

Second Floor

The second floor offers a large attic space (85m²), currently used for storage but offering excellent potential for conversion into additional living space, subject to the necessary permissions.

Features & Improvements

The property benefits from double glazing, rewired and oil-fired central heating, with additional electric heating in the bathrooms. Several rooms have insulated walls, and the exterior has been upgraded with new zinc gutters and downpipes. Over the past seven years, the property has been carefully renovated and maintained to a high standard throughout.

The Gîte
Formerly a hunting lodge, this charming property has been beautifully converted into a successful two-bedroom gîte. From the moment you enter, it is easy to see why guests are delighted to stay here — the space is bright, clean, and beautifully presented. The gite is being sold fully furnished.

The ground floor features a spacious open-plan layout, including a modern fitted kitchen (14m²), flowing into a dining area and a cosy living room (24m²) with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A short passage leads to the sleeping area, comprising two bedrooms (9.5m² and 11m²), both having fitted wardrobes. There is also a generous shower room with a vanity unit, wash basin, and WC.

The gîte benefits from electric heating, full double glazing, a complete electrical rewire, and a compliant septic tank drainage system.

Attached to the property is a small barn with a first floor (30m²), offering additional storage or potential for further development. A separate hangar (120m²) is located a few metres away, providing substantial additional covered space.

The Second House

Located on the opposite side of the hamlet, this property is completely private and well separated from both the main house and the gîte. It is also particularly attractive, with plenty of charm and character.

The property includes an attached small barn (30m²) and a lower-level barn (70m²), providing useful storage and further potential.

Accessed via steps leading up to the house, the entrance opens directly into a bright living and dining room (26m²). This leads through to a modern fitted kitchen (9m²).

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms (both 9m²), a bathroom (7m²), and a separate WC.

The second floor offers a further bedroom (15m²), along with access to a large attic space (35m²), which could be converted into additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

The property is fully double glazed throughout, benefits from oil-fired central heating, and is entirely habitable as it stands.

There is so much to this property that it truly must be viewed to be fully appreciated. With two independent barns, a hangar, and each house benefitting from its own attached barn, the scope and flexibility are exceptional.

All of this is set within truly stunning grounds, extending to around four acres of what can only be described as a little piece of paradise.

A viewing is, quite simply, highly recommended — if not essential.
