5 acres of glorious land with mature gardens, pool and mooring.
This exquisite riverside residence offers exceptional quality, refined interiors and outstanding lifestyle amenities in a natural setting. Approached via a picturesque tree-lined driveway, this distinguished property immediately conveys a sense of privacy, elegance and timeless charm.
The house has been meticulously renovated and maintained to an exceptional standard, where traditional character features blend seamlessly with carefully integrated modern comfort. The entrance hall, with its classic tomette tiled flooring, sets a warm and sophisticated tone. From here, a generous double-aspect living room provides an elegant reception space filled with natural light and finished with notable attention to detail.
A charming dining room featuring a striking wood-burning fireplace flows effortlessly into a beautifully appointed kitchen, designed to combine practicality with understated style. The ground floor also benefits from a pantry, utility room and separate WC, all finished to the same exacting standards as the principal living areas.
One of the home's most captivating features is the arched glazed doorway opening onto a superb outdoor entertaining space. Here, a bar and summer kitchen create the perfect setting for relaxed gatherings, while expansive terraces extend towards the swimming pool and landscaped gardens.
Upstairs, the property offers six spacious double bedrooms, each complemented by its own individually designed en-suite bathroom. Every suite reflects careful craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Two of the bedrooms can easily function as independent guest accommodation with separate access, providing excellent potential for boutique guest hosting or a bed-and-breakfast venture (subject to necessary permissions).
Modern systems have been discreetly integrated throughout the home. Double glazing ensures comfort and efficiency, while reversible air-conditioning serves the upstairs bedrooms through discreet venting with individual thermostatic controls. The ground floor benefits from energy-efficient underfloor heating powered by a heat pump.
The landscaped grounds are equally impressive. At the centre of the lawn stands an attractive historic pigeonnier, creating a charming focal point. Stone steps lead down to a private pontoon where a boat may be moored peacefully among the water lilies. A major advantage of the property also lies in the fact that it is not located in a flood-prone area, thereby offering comfort and peace of mind in all seasons.
A further glazed reception room with terrace offers a tranquil vantage point from which to enjoy uninterrupted views across the river - the perfect setting for quiet reflection or evening aperitifs.
Additional outbuildings include a traditional tobacco barn currently used for storage but offering significant conversion potential, as well as a second barn providing further practical space.
Completing the estate is a brand-new tennis court, enhancing the exceptional lifestyle offered by this remarkable riverside property. A rare opportunity to acquire a refined riverside home where exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail and an outstanding natural setting combine to create an enviable lifestyle property.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
