Spacious 4-Bedroom Country House with 1 Hectare, Double Garage and Pond - Habitable Project with Excellent Potential

Property Description

Summary
Located in Baudres, in the Indre department of Centre-Val de Loire, this property offers space, privacy and strong potential for buyers looking for a rural French home they can improve over time.

The house is already habitable and includes an open-plan kitchen/living area, four bedrooms, bathroom, utility room and mezzanine, while some finishing works remain, including a shower room/WC area. This makes it especially suitable for practical buyers, renovators, remote workers, animal owners, or anyone looking for a liveable countryside project rather than a full renovation from zero.

Set on 10,061 m² of land, the property also includes a double garage and a pond, giving excellent scope for gardens, animals, workshop use, outdoor living or simply enjoying a peaceful rural setting.

Location
The property is situated in Baudres, a small rural commune in the Indre, part of the Centre-Val de Loire region.

This area is known for peaceful countryside, historic towns, châteaux, forests, rivers and a slower pace of life, while still offering access to everyday amenities within driving distance.

Nearby towns and services include:

Baudres — approx. 2 minutes
Valençay — approx. 12 minutes
Levroux — approx. 6 minutes
Châteauroux — approx. 20 minutes
Tours — approx. 90 minutes

Nearest train station — approx. 12 minutes

The location is well suited to buyers looking for countryside living, space, privacy and a more affordable alternative to some of the more expensive French rural property markets.

Access
The property benefits from direct road access, making it practical for commuting, shopping, schools, services and exploring the surrounding area. This is a good fit for buyers who want countryside space without being too isolated.

Approximate access details:

Nearest main road: Located just off the D956
Tours airport: approx. 90 minutes
Limoges airport: approx. 90 minutes
Paris: approx. 2.5 hours by car

The property may be particularly interesting for international buyers looking for a countryside base in central France, with enough land for animals, gardening, workshop use or a quiet remote-working lifestyle.

Internet: Fibre.

Interior
The house offers a practical layout with generous accommodation and scope to finish according to the buyer’s own taste.

The interior currently includes:

Entrance
Open-plan kitchen and living area
4 bedrooms
Bathroom
Shower room area to finish
2 WCs, one of which is to finish
Utility room
Huge mezzanine

The property is habitable, with several key living areas already usable. Some renovation and finishing works remain, making it ideal for buyers who are comfortable completing works progressively or who wish to create a home tailored to their own style.

The open-plan kitchen and living space with a wood stove/fireplace provides the main heart of the house, while the four bedrooms give flexibility for family living, guest rooms, office space, hobbies or remote working.

The mezzanine adds further character and usable space, and the unfinished areas offer the opportunity to add value and complete the property to a higher standard.

The house is best described as a liveable project: not a ruin, but not a fully finished turnkey home.

Exterior
The property is set on 10,061 m² of land, giving a strong sense of space and privacy.

Outside features include:

Just over 1 hectare of land, flat
Double garage
Pond
Orchard/Fruit trees (plum, cherry, pear...)
Garden/grounds
Garden shed
Space for parking
Potential for vegetable gardens, animals, dogs, outdoor dining or workshop use

The land is one of the main strengths of the property. It offers excellent lifestyle potential for buyers wanting more than a small garden, whether for animals, gardening, self-sufficiency, hobbies, storage, or simply enjoying open rural space.

The double garage provides valuable practical space for vehicles, tools, storage, renovation materials, workshop use or hobbies.

The pond adds charm and character to the setting and could become a very attractive feature with some landscaping and maintenance.

The climbing plant visible on the house is Virginia creeper, not ivy. It gives the property a traditional countryside appearance and seasonal colour, while avoiding the common concern buyers may have when they see ivy growing on a house.

Additional Details
This property is best suited to buyers who can see the potential in a spacious countryside home with land, rather than buyers looking for a fully finished modern house.

Some finishing and light renovation works remain, but this is also where the opportunity lies. The property already offers the essential base: accommodation, land, garage, pond and a peaceful rural setting. With further investment, it could become a beautiful family home, rural retreat, remote-working base or lifestyle property.

Potential uses include:

Main residence
Holiday home
Rural retreat
Family home with land
Remote-working base
Home with workshop/studio space
Property for buyers with dogs or animals
Long-term improvement project
