Restored Farmhouse with Pool, Outbuildings, Sauna and over 1 Hectare of Land

Property Description

LABESSIÈRE-CANDEIL – Located at around 200 metres above sea level, in an elevated position amidst gently rolling countryside formerly dedicated to vineyards, this property comprises several carefully renovated buildings. Built around 1850, the main house stands outside any listed or protected zone and has been completely restored. Access to the house is via a large south-west facing terrace. On the garden level, the entrance hall leads to a rustic-style kitchen fitted with a central island and range cooker, as well as a dining room featuring original patterned cement tiles. A bright office, a separate WC, a utility room and direct access to the garage complete this first area, arranged within the original part of the house. The former barn, now converted into a living room, features a cathedral ceiling, a mezzanine serving the bedrooms on the upper floor, an open fireplace and a large arched window overlooking the inner courtyard to the rear of the property, where a heated saltwater swimming pool (approx. 50 m²) is located. Around the courtyard, a covered terrace includes a bar/dining area, a summer lounge and a sauna accessible directly from this space. A converted dovecote, now a bedroom with exposed beams and an open view of the surrounding countryside, completes the ensemble. Also on the garden level, adjacent to the main living room, a second lounge/library of approximately 35 m² with a calm and intimate atmosphere leads to an office set within the former living area of the adjoining tenant farmer's house. The mezzanine from the main living room leads to: • a master suite of about 60 m², with sitting area, bathroom with bathtub and shower, and a raised south-west facing terrace with direct access to the pool • a south-west wing with three bedrooms, a shower room and separate WC • a south-east wing with two bedrooms overlooking the courtyard, a bathroom, separate WC, and - above the office of the adjoining house - two additional bedrooms reached via a landing. The tenant farmer's house, attached and connected to the main building, can serve as independent accommodation or a guest annex. The ground floor includes a living room with fireplace (currently used as an office with water point) and a shower room, while the upper floor offers two bedrooms. The independent entrance and staircase access have been preserved. A barn, a large workshop/storage building of approximately 100 m², and several adjacent plots totalling just over 10,000 m² (1 hectare) complete the property. Several outdoor parking spaces are available upon arrival. The windows are double-glazed in wood or aluminium, and fibre broadband has been installed. The property includes two wells: one close to the house, and the other situated in the lower field of around one hectare (outside agricultural, natural, flood or development zones, with no gas network nearby).
