Maintenon, Centre-Val de Loire 28130

Sébastien Amieil, a specialist in charming properties at DE LA COUR AU JARDIN, invites you to discover this authentic residence, built around 1750. Passed down through the generations for over two centuries, this characterful house has retained all its soul, its history and the charm of its period features. On the outskirts of Maintenon, just 1½ hours from Paris, in a unspoilt and secluded setting, this property once served as a retreat for a famous man of letters, who came here to find inspiration and tranquillity far from the hustle and bustle of Paris. Today, it offers heritage enthusiasts a rare opportunity: the chance to restore an exceptional property set within a landscaped, tree-lined park. The main house offers approximately 175 m² of living space spread across eight rooms, including five bedrooms. The entrance hall leads to a wooden staircase connecting the various floors. The ground floor comprises a study, a bathroom, a living room with an open-hearth fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen-diner and a utility room. The first floor comprises a corridor leading to five bedrooms, one of which has a toilet that could be converted into a shower room. On the second floor, two rooms have been converted into a dormitory within a spacious loft requiring insulation. This space offers numerous possibilities for conversion: creating additional bedrooms with a shower room, a games room or a dedicated leisure area. The property has retained many of its original features: antique terracotta floor tiles throughout, period fireplaces, washrooms, a vaulted cellar These authentic features are the true treasure of this property. Just a stones throw from the main house, a guest house measuring approximately 63 m², currently let under a residential tenancy agreement, is a real asset to the property portfolio. The tenant has given notice to leave on 1 September, meaning the property will soon be available. It comprises a living room with a fireplace, a kitchenette, a shower room and three bedrooms, one of which is situated on the landing. This outbuilding is an added bonus, offering the opportunity to generate rental income, accommodate family and friends, or consider a guest accommodation venture. The estate also comprises a number of outbuildings: a shed with a wood store, a second vaulted cellar, a barn, former stables with their stalls, a large covered courtyard and a spacious loft with potential for conversion. These buildings offer a wide range of conversion possibilities and could support various lifestyle projects: family-oriented, artistic, professional or equestrian. This property is currently in need of a complete renovation, particularly in terms of energy efficiency, technical aspects and comfort. It is therefore ideal for buyers wishing to undertake a genuine restoration project and restore this property with its undeniable architectural qualities to its former glory. The surveys and energy audits will provide a clear understanding of the work required. Beyond its buildings, outbuildings and grounds, this estate appeals above all for its history and potential. A true family home, steeped in the legacy of the generations who have lived there, ready to begin a new chapter.
