It is rare for such a fantastic, highquality detached country house to come onto the market in this idyllic region. This generous detached property has undergone an extensive upgrading and renovation programme in recent years to provide an exceptionally comfortable family home, second residence, or highend gîte. Situated on the border of the Cher and Allier departments on a plot of approximately 5,000 m² (~1.2 acres), this home offers the ultimate sense of peace, freedom, and French countryside charm. Bright, Spacious, and Comfortable Living An external staircase leads up to the elevated main living floor. The large central hallway gives access to an impressive, lightfilled living/dining room featuring dualaspect windows, a feature insert woodburning fire, and sliding patio doors opening onto a large elevated terrace. This spacious terrace offers lovely views over the mature grounds with specimen trees and connects directly to the garden via an external staircase. On the opposite side of the hallway is a generously sized, fully equipped kitchen styled with charming vintage tiling. The kitchen includes an induction hob, electric oven, and dishwasher. The ground floor also benefits from a very large bedroom, a modern shower room, and a separate WC. First Floor and Vast Lower Ground Floor / Basement The first floor opens to a spacious central hallway leading to four large bedrooms, a modern washroom, and a separate WC. Underneath the entire property lies a huge underbuild/basement. Here you will find a large multivehicle garage, an authentic wine cellar, a workshop area, and a boiler room. The boiler room is already fitted with an additional shower; thanks to these existing utilities, the lower level offers ideal potential for conversion into a selfcontained gîte or guest apartment! Energy Efficient, Modernized, and Building Permit for a Pool The house is well insulated, double glazed, and boasts a very favorable C energy rating. Flexible heating options are provided by both wood and a gas cistern (submerged in the garden). Essential systems have been recently updated, including new electrical wiring, a new water heater, and a new boiler. As a major bonus, planning permission for a swimming pool is already in place! Prime Countryside Location Situated on the edge of a peaceful hamlet near Reigny, this area is renowned for its historic châteaux, scenic touring routes (car, motorcycle, cycling), and unspoiled nature. • Shops & Amenities: The medieval town of Culan with all daily shops is just a 7 to 10minute drive away. • Leisure: The Sidiailles recreational lake (offering a beach, water sports, treetop adventure park, and highseason café) is just 12 minutes away. • Accessibility: Easy access to the A71 motorway for connections to Paris.
