Saintes, Charente 17100

Located 10 minutes from Saintes and 40 minutes from Royan, this atypical real estate complex reveals an extraordinary place full of history, where timeless charm blends with a renovation that respects its original soul. This property consists of a deconsecrated Gothic chapel from the 12th century, carefully restored to preserve its unique character, and a completely renovated Charentaise stone house. The chapel, a true testimony to the past, has 190 m2 of living space with vast volumes. Old materials such as stone, wood and half-timbering harmoniously dialogue with the redesigned living spaces. The windows, custom-made by a local craftsman, preserve the spirit of the period while bringing a unique artisanal touch. A friendly kitchen opens onto a warm living room, while the upper floor stands out with two bedrooms, a bathroom, an office and a large room, currently dedicated to video and rest, offering many possibilities to accommodate your projects. The potential remains to come with a room of 80 m2 or 40 m2 on the ground, to renovate according to your desires. The possibilities are numerous for this space to personalize. In addition, an independent Charente house enriches this area. Completely renovated, it offers a comfortable living room with kitchen, a large multipurpose room on the ground floor, a bathroom and Wc. The first floor has three spacious bedrooms, one of which is generous and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. A bathroom completes this level. The exterior seduces with its large plot open to nature, facing due west to admire the sunsets. For lovers of horses or other pets, this space offers exceptional potential to combine tranquility and comfort of life. To be renovated, the old bread oven of 30 m2 promises interesting potential. Once renovated, it could be transformed into independent accommodation, ideal for a rental project, a small guest house or a leisure area. A rare and authentic ensemble that invites you to write your own story in a preserved historical setting, between old charm and modern renovation. With these two houses, this property offers unique flexibility between keeping both spaces for your personal use or renting one of them, according to your needs, whether it is a long-term or seasonal rental, to generate income while preserving your privacy.
