This is a great opportunity to build your very own French property to your own specifications in a commanding position in a beautiful area.  The plots are  being sold with about two and a half acres of flat grassland ideal for horses or simply for the owners to laze in the sun with their own swimming pool etc..  

It is set in an attractive hamlet with uninterupted views over the surrounding countryside and is approached along a tree-lined drive about a quarter of a mile long.  Even the drive itself gives the property a feeling of rural peace and tranquility.  The hamlet is made up of an attractive chateau and  three other stone built properties - most of which are over three-hundred years old and are surrounded by their own land.  At this time each of the three other properties in the hamlet are English owned and are in various stages of restoration - company, friendships, ideas, help and advice are therefore not too far away should you need them. 

It is often difficult to find building plots in this area of France as permission for such building is often restricted to replacement of existing buildings.  The plots in this advertisement are in the footprint of an large old barn and planning permission has been granted for urbanisation into the building of domestic properties.  It is understood that while the old barn provides the footprint of the initial buildings it does not dictate the shape or character of the new homes to be built - the new properties can therefore both look and feel like houses and not necessarily like a 'barn conversion'.   The ground floor area of the old barn is about 4,000 square feet , it is understood that each new home will be able to have a second floor if required. There is therefore ample scope for the purchasers to create  large and beautiful homes or even an income producing gite complex.  

 Electricity, water and telephone connections are very close and broadband service is available if required.   

It is anticipated that some purchasers will wish to create their own new entrance on the western end of the barn,  To support this there is plenty of opportunity of creating, over the land which is being sold with the property,  a small private drive.  The idea behind this is that the new drive would branch off the main drive into the hamlet, so as to create more privacy and a grander entrance to the property. 

While the above description of the site has centred on its rural nature, it is by no means cut-off.   There are local village shops, bakery, post office and several bars within 2 kms while the beautiful cities of Poitiers and Chauvigny are about 15 kms distant .  In addition there is a supermarket, tourist office, builders merchants, and even an English 'Tea Room' at Gencay about 14kms away.  There are many advertisements for French lessons and opportunities and encouragement given to join in local activities.  Golf , fishing, and  riding facilities are within a good striking distance and there are many attractions nearby. 

The position and size of the site with its accompanying land offer the potential of  good-sized  and beautiful homes  Plenty of space for swimming pools or keeping horses.  It is an open canvas for a dream property - all it wants is someone with imagination!   Just think of it  - sufficient space for up to three houses at under £25,000 per plot and with 2.5 acres of land available to share between them or as agreed with individual purchasers - that is if you do not want all of it for yourself!
