Bourgeois Villa in the Town Center

Exclusive to KARACTERRE®!
In the heart of this vibrant town of 12,000 inhabitants, this iconic villa—owned by the same family for generations—offers a uniquely preserved environment, set on over 2,600 m² of private grounds. The property features fruit trees, a vegetable garden, outbuildings, a dovecote, a covered and heated swimming pool—all forming a remarkable landscaped park, fully enclosed by stone walls, right in the town center.
Inside, over 350 m² of living space is spread across three levels, including 100 m² of reception areas and 10 bedrooms, 5 of which currently operate as guest rooms.
Entering through the original carriage gate, you'll find on your right an independent unit with kitchenette, shower room, and WC. To your left, the original stone steps lead you into the vestibule, which opens to the main reception rooms: a dining room, a large living room, a smaller lounge, and access to the central staircase.
High ceilings, parquet floors, fireplaces, and decorative moldings—every hallmark of classic charm and character has been carefully preserved. All woodwork has been replaced with thermally efficient, powder-coated wooden double glazing, providing modern comfort. A glass partition between the living and dining rooms creates a warm, contemporary space, echoed in the architecture of the southwest façade. The separate kitchen was completely renovated in 2024, blending modern design with functionality.
On the first floor, a half-landing leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom with WC. The main level features four additional bedrooms, including a master suite with a balcony overlooking the pool and a spacious room with a period glass roof and original stained-glass windows in perfect condition.
The second floor offers three more bedrooms, ideal for family or guests—one with a shower and sink. Another room on this level could also be converted into an additional bedroom if needed.
The vaulted cellar provides excellent space for food storage or wine conservation.
Additional outbuildings include former hatcheries dating from 1850, currently used for storage but recently renovated (including a new roof), making them suitable for conversion into living spaces. A hangar accommodates two vehicles and includes a reinforced socket for electric vehicle charging. Photovoltaic solar panels have been discreetly installed within the landscaped park, offering free electricity for the villa without disrupting its natural beauty.
A truly authentic property, exceptional for its grandeur, outdoor space, generous volumes, and storied past—a rare opportunity not to be missed.
