Beautiful renovated farmhouse (185m²) with 3,200m² of land in Jeantes, 4h from Utrecht; 2,5h from Paris.
I am selling the house without a real estate broker. I have found a broker who can do the administrative part of the sales, his costs are included in the price. However you are very welcome to bring your own broker.
This spacious renovated farmhouse (185m² of living space, not including the attic and utility room), partly dating back to 1860, is located on the village square of Jeantes – a small village known for its remarkable church. The large garden with hot tub, sauna, stunning barn, and orchard offers privacy and unobstructed views. The house is set in the Thiérache region, a scenic area of rolling hills, forests, and open landscapes, known for its fortified churches, half-timbered houses, and charming farms. The countryside is an invitation for long peaceful walks.
The house has central heating, double-glazed windows and doors, and fiber optic Wi-Fi. The septic system is modern, “á norme” (fosse toutes eaux, 2010), and there's a gas tank in the ground (1,000 kg). The house is fully habitable and available immediately. Much of the furniture and contents will remain and are included in the price.
