Sauze-Vaussais (79) - Equestrian..

An outstanding equestrian property with a 5 bed principal house with heated swimming pool, a separate cottage to renovate, 33 stables, indoor and outdoor schooling rings, a range of outbuildings and 10 hectares of fenced paddocks.

Owned and managed by a former international show jumper, this property is very well maintained and could be operated as an equestrian based business from day one. These type of properties rarely come onto the market (this one has been in the same family for three generations) and it is attractively priced for a quick sale.

The principal house forms one side of a large, shady courtyard with stables and barns forming the other four sides. The main Lounge/Dining Room has a unique marble tiled floor, a galleried landing running around two sides, exposed original beams and stone fireplace with woodburning stove (which supplements the oil fired central heating). Glazed doors lead out onto the terrace around the heated swimming pool and the private garden which is surrounded with hedging. Within the garden is a pond that provides water for the irrigation system that is used to keep the sand wet in the outdoor training school.

Off the Lounge are two rooms, one used as a Bedroom and the other as a Study. There is a small but well equipped Kitchen, a further ground floor Bedroom and a Bathroom with separate w.c.

To one end of the house there is a separate section that is currently used by the owner's wife to run an alternative therapy treatment centre with a treatment room, waiting room and shower room. This could easily be transformed into a one bedroomed, independent apartment for a dependent relative.

The galleried landing on the first floor leads to the Master Bedroom which has beautiful exposed beams, a shower cubicle, wash stand and walk in wardrobe. Also on the first floor is a huge attic space covering 65m2 - the beams are of a good height making this an ideal space for conversion into additional living accommodation.

The best kept surprise though is the superb vaulted wine cellar beneath the house!

The cottage is on the opposite side of the courtyard and has been utilised to provide space for a tack room and accommodation for students working on the farm. It could be renovated to provide a very comfortable three bedroom cottage and perhaps let out to holidaymakers looking for an equestrian based vacation.

There are 33 stables in total but these are nicely spread around the different buildings with some indoor and some outdoor. There are large barns for storage of hay and straw and hoppers for feed storage. One of barns has been transformed into an indoor school, there is a horse walker with space for four horses at any one time, a large outdoor school (80m x 50m) and a dedicated horse washing facility.

The grassed paddocks are easily accessible from the buildings and are well drained making them ideal for horses. An additional 35 ha of arable land and woodland adjoining the property is also available for sale by separate agreement

This is an outstanding property in a peaceful location that has a very calm and tranquil ambiance. There are local village facilities about 4km away whilst the nearest supermarket is just 10 minutes drive. Access could not be easier with the airport in Poitiers just 35 minutes away.
