Charming Ecological Home and Gites in Pretty Hamlet

Property Description

This spacious property is currently run as Chambre d'hotes and two further separate summer gites situated around a pretty enclosed garden area (a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration).

Situated 5 minutes drive the historic market town of Melle and ten minutes from Chef Boutonne, the pretty hamlet is surrounded by fields, woodland etc, Ideal for leisurely scenic walks.
Whilst neighbours are close on hand, the area is extremely tranquil.

It has been sympathetically restored, maintaining many original features: stone walls, flagstone floors, open fireplaces, beams etc. There is a fully functioning traditional bread oven regularly used for entertaining guests, and a modern summer kitchen which is currently also used for honey processing.

Photovoltaic panels generate significant yearly income, as well as providing hot water for the main house and gites.

The two gites are separate from the main house with their own outside spaces to eat and relax. There is additional dedicated parking space for guests.

A second plot of land with large storage buildings has building potential, and could potentially house a pool (with appropriate permissions). Whilst a further plot, accessed via small lane, offers the perfect setting for the current owners numerous hives, from which they run a honey business.

There is discrete underfloor heating in the main house. As well as wood-burners in the main rooms for cozy winter evenings.

The main house offers wheelchair-friendly chambre d'hote facilities on the ground floor, and further upstairs accommodation that can be locked off from the owners living areas.
