Aulnay, Charente 17470

Just minutes from Aulnay-de-Saintonge, this former Charentaise farmhouse has undergone an exceptional renovation. Nestled in a haven of serenity, it offers the privilege of absolute tranquility without sacrificing proximity to amenities. Completely renovated with remarkable care, this property now offers nearly 485 sq m of living space, complemented by a separate 157 sq m gîte and a 236 sq m indoor wellness area, as well as garages, all set on over 4,040 sq m of enclosed land. From the moment you enter, the spaciousness is impressive, revealing a layout designed for comfortable family living as well as for a high-end hospitality project. The main house is organized around a vast 73 sq m kitchen, extended by a pantry and a laundry room. Two living rooms, a 26 sq m office, and a ground-floor suite with a bathroom complete this level. From the ground floor, a stone staircase leads to the upper floor and a mezzanine, a true gateway between the sleeping areas. Like a suspended parenthesis, a magnificent suite unfolds, secluded from the world. A true sanctuary of privacy, it was designed as a secret retreat where calm and absolute independence reign. The spacious 29 sqm bedroom captivates with its generous proportions, thick and comfortable carpeting, built-in wardrobes, and private bathroom with toilet. This unique and enveloping space is designed to promote rest. Another bedroom boasts ample custom-made storage with mirrored reflections, which enhance the space and light. Complete with its own private bathroom, it offers guests both intimate and refined comfort. The tour continues to a lounge nestled under the eaves, a true haven bathed in soft light. Currently dedicated to digital entertainment and reading, this versatile space awaits your every whim: it could easily be transformed into a cozy library or a relaxing nook, furnished with benches and cushions that perfectly complement the charm of the sloping ceilings. The upper floor offers three additional spacious bedrooms: two comfortable bedrooms of 23.5 sqm and 25 sqm, each with a study area and dressing room enhanced by joinery crafted by a local artisan, and a 15 sqm guest room, ideal for hosting. These three bedrooms share a spacious bathroom equipped with a shower and bathtub, highlighted by a sandblasted antique beam, as well as a separate Wc. An attic provides discreet and functional storage space. The fully self-contained cottage features a fitted and equipped kitchen, a utility room, a Wc, a living room in the conservatory, and three bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, one accessible to people with reduced mobility, and a bathroom with Wc, offering immediate occupancy. A true hallmark of the property, it boasts an exceptional indoor aquatic complex encompassing a swimming pool, sauna, hammam, spa, and bar, all set against an immersive musical backdrop. Outside, the grounds are elegantly structured around a charming dovecote, a greenhouse, and a double garage and two workshops. The house benefits from particularly sophisticated technical features and comforts. Fully air-conditioned, it is also equipped with a rainwater harvesting tank, highlighting a comfortable yet responsible approach. Combining performance and sustainability, this renovation incorporates modern equipment such as a heat pump heating system and photovoltaic panels. This valuable asset promises sustainable and controlled energy consumption. All the joinery, storage solutions, and fittings were custom-made by a local craftsman, giving each room a unique character. The property offers a versatile space, ideal for a tourism business (gîte, bed and breakfast) or for a family living project combining a primary residence and hospitality, all within an authentic and inspiring setting.
