Exceptional 3-Property Estate, Established Gîtes & Lake

Looking for a complete lifestyle change with an immediate, established income? Located just five minutes from the historic village of Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre, this peaceful countryside estate offers a rare turnkey opportunity. Set within beautifully landscaped gardens (7523m2 in total) featuring mature plants, a private overground pool and a lake (960m2), the estate comprises a spacious 150m² owner’s residence alongside two highly successful, fully detached gîtes – each with its own completely private garden. Both rental properties are sold fully furnished, hold a 3-star official classification, and are highly sought-after Airbnb “Guest Favourites” with a 4.9-star average rating.

The Main Residence (152m²)

A beautifully presented, fully double-glazed detached home surrounded by private, enclosed gardens. It is accessed via electric gates leading to a gravel driveway equipped with a Legrand Green’up EV charger.

 * Ground Floor: The welcoming hallway flows into a dedicated music room. The heart of the home is a stunning 50m² open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area featuring a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, and a large wood-burning stove. Double doors open directly onto multiple outdoor decking areas with views over the private garden and above-ground pool. A second living room with its own wood burner, a bright craft room/office with double-door garden access and views (this could be used as a fourth bedroom), and a full family bathroom (with bath, shower, and toilet) complete the ground floor.

 * Upstairs: A staircase leads to a landing and three beautifully decorated bedrooms and a dedicated shower room and WC, all kept comfortable year-round by a reversible air source heat pump.

 * Outdoors & Outbuildings: The landscaped garden includes the overground pool surrounded by decking (perfect for dangling your feet in), a vegetable and asparagus patch, a herb spiral, and fruit trees (apple, cherry, peach). There are two rear decks dedicated to outdoor dining and watching the sun set, plus a terrace at the front for your morning coffee. Opposite the house sits a large barn containing a utility room, a workshop, and extensive storage spaces. The wider estate also includes a private lake, an orchard, and a chicken coop.

The Gîtes

Separated from the main house to ensure complete privacy for everyone, both of these fully detached properties feature their own dedicated, private gardens. They draw consistent bookings thanks to the incredible peace, quiet, and local wildlife.

 * La Maison des Vignes (78m²): A characterful two-bedroom home overlooking the estate’s private lake. It features a large kitchen/diner with a wood burner and exposed old bread oven, a separate lounge opening onto the garden, and a ground-floor shower room. Both bedrooms are upstairs. Surrounded by old roses, vines and another apple tree, the private garden includes a wood storage hangar, a separate games barn (equipped with table tennis and table football), and private gravel parking.

 * Les Belles Étoiles (55m²): Fully renovated in 2023, this modern, double-glazed property offers a bright open-plan kitchen and living space downstairs, with a large bedroom and shower room upstairs. The private, hedged garden is landscaped with meadow paths and fruit trees. A highly private deck features a unique outdoor hot-and-cold bath situated under a fairy-lit tree. (Note: This property can easily be upgraded to a 4-star official rating simply by swapping the upstairs double bed for a king).
