Vienne: Characterful 5 Bedroom Farmhouse with Pool, Equestrian Setup Et 4.32 ha Near the Medieval Town of Chauvigny

Property Description

Set in the peaceful hamlet of La Girauderie, this fully renovated farmhouse combines authentic character with generous living spaces, extensive equestrian facilities and over 4 hectares of land. The renovation has preserved original features and rural charm while creating a comfortable, welcoming home with excellent flow and versatility.
The property is approached via a gated driveway bordered on both sides by lawn and established planting, creating an attractive and welcoming entrance. As the drive continues, it opens out into a large gravelled area with ample space for parking cars and horse trailers, and provides direct access to the barns and stable block.
The main house combines authentic character with spacious, light filled interiors. Original features bring charm and identity, while the layout provides excellent versatility for everyday living and entertaining. Five bedrooms, several reception rooms and direct access to the terraces and pool make this a welcoming home for family, friends and summer guests alike.
The formal entrance opens directly into the large family kitchen, a warm and welcoming space centred around its generous island. From here, the house unfolds naturally: the kitchen flows into the formal dining room, where a wooden staircase rises to the first floor. A door leads into a passageway with the rear entrance, which opens onto the terrace and pool area, creating an easy connection between indoor living and outdoor enjoyment. This passage also gives access to a small wine cave, while opposite, a door leads into the formal living room - a characterful space with a wood burner, exposed beams and double doors opening to the front of the property. These doors open directly onto a lawned area planted with flowers, creating a soft, colourful outlook from this central reception room.
From the living room, a further door leads into a comfortable ground floor double bedroom with its own en suite shower room and WC, offering privacy for guests or convenience for single level living.
Returning to the kitchen, a door on the opposite side opens into a versatile room currently arranged as an office and TV snug, though equally suited to use as a fifth bedroom. Another door opens into a small hallway giving access to the ground floor shower room/WC and the large utility room/back kitchen, which includes an exterior door and serves as the main everyday entrance to the house, offering excellent space for laundry, storage and household organisation.
The wooden staircase rises from the dining room to a compact landing/mezzanine, lined with full length built in wardrobes and cupboards that provide excellent storage without interrupting the character of the space. To the right lies the master suite, a beautifully proportioned room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a cosy sitting area. Set behind full-length curtains, a generous open recess provides ample hanging space and offers discreet storage for additional organisation, while a door leads through to the en suite bathroom, fitted with a bath, separate shower, twin sinks, bidet and WC. The master suite enjoys double aspect windows, bringing in abundant natural light and views over the grounds.
To the left of the staircase, a small passageway leads past two useful storage cupboards - one an airing/storage cupboard, the other housing the hot water tank - before reaching the second bedroom. This room also features a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, along with its own en suite shower room and WC. A second internal door connects directly to the third bedroom, creating a flexible arrangement ideal for family use or visiting guests.
Poolside Days et Terrace Evenings:
From the rear passage, a door open onto a beautifully arranged outdoor living space designed for relaxed summer days and easy entertaining. A covered, shaded terrace provides a generous alfresco dining area, perfectly positioned for long lunches and evening meals outdoors. Beyond this, an open seating area catches the sun, offering a comfortable spot to unwind beside the pool.
The 10 m × 5 m solar heated in-ground swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the garden, surrounded by a sun terrace with ample room for loungers. At the far end, a covered pergola creates an additional seating and entertainment space, ideal for reading, conversation or enjoying the late afternoon light.
The whole area is framed by abundant flowers, plants and shrubs, adding colour, texture and a sense of calm throughout the seasons. Enclosed by a combination of walling, hedges and a wooden picket fence, the space feels private and sheltered while maintaining a charming countryside character.
