An architect-designed home with an indoor swimming pool and tree-filled grounds, in a verdant environment less than thirty minutes from Angers.
Located less than thirty minutes from the city of Angers and its high-speed rail station (with a dozen daily trains to and from Paris in 1.5 hours) and approximately 5 minutes away from shops and services, the house, from its slightly elevated position, enjoys incredible views of the surrounding rolling and wooded countryside.
Accessible from a country road, followed by a lane that leads to the property's entrance, the house, built in the early 2000s, is nestled within more than 7,000 m² of grounds. Featuring two additional constructions that were added later on that decade, in front, an immense bow window faces the bell tower of the neighbouring village and the surrounding countryside, while, in the back and accessible via a hallway, the other part of the dwelling includes a 10 x 4.5-metre indoor swimming pool and its pool deck. As for the three-storey house, one of which is a basement level, with a total inhabitable floor area of 245 m², it stands within the midst of well-tended grounds planted with many trees, including mature fruit-bearing varieties. With a portion of the grounds allotted to a vegetable garden, a well and a cistern, used to collect rainwater, provide water for the grounds, while the whole is illuminated by outdoor lighting and a lean-to, of approximately 30 m², provides storage for the garden's equipment. The Dwelling The ground floor The entrance hall provides access to a kitchen, a living room and a small corridor with many built-in storage cupboards, which leads to a laundry room, a lavatory, two bedrooms, a shower room, a bathroom with a shower as well as a hallway towards the building with the swimming pool. With either tiled or hardwood floors throughout this level, the living room, with a fireplace, communicates with a study and another sitting room, while the entrance hall also contains the staircase to the upstairs level. As for the building housing the saltwater, counter-current swimming pool - protected by a cover and heated with the help of an air/water heat pump and solar panels - it abuts a machine room where a shower room and lavatory have been created. The upstairs The landing provides access to a shower room with a steam room, three bedrooms, a lavatory and a small kitchen, while one of the bedrooms opens on to a terrace located above the bow window. The basement With a two-car garage of approximately 36 m², this level also contains a furnace room and a wine cellar, each with approximately 10 m². The Grounds Partially enclosed by walls, it was planted with a wide array of vegetation over twenty years ago, which has now reached maturity: ornamental trees and shrubs, both from the region or Mediterranean, as well as fruit-bearing varieties, while a vegetable garden is also located off to on side.
